Pot Noodle BBQ Pulled Pork - 90g

In Britain, Pot Noodle sits in its own odd little category: not quite a snack, not quite dinner, and claimed by both. It is the late-shift supper, the desk-drawer lunch, the thing eaten at one in the morning that nobody mentions the next day.

Instant noodles are easy to find. This particular pot, with that name on the lid, is the one people actually mean when they say they fancy a Pot Noodle. Once you have that craving, nothing else in the noodle aisle will quite do.

It comes as a single 90g pot that lives happily in the cupboard until the moment arrives. Pour boiling water up to the line inside, stir, leave it a few minutes, stir again. A couple stacked in a work drawer has saved many an afternoon.

People rarely buy just one. They tend to add another Pot Noodle or two from our shelves and a bag of British crisps to eat while the kettle boils, which is either good planning or a slippery slope.
