Merzbow Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 If they still do those big packets of Lotus Biscoff biscuits, lovely things. I pretty much just go in there to get a can of Monster Mule, I really need to try it with some vodka one day even if it's probably dangerous to my life..
Harry Wiseau Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 If you like Toblerone the Poundland version (Twin Peaks) is good, they launched it when the real toblerones that they sold for £1 started to be silly with huuuuge gaps between chunks, they do about five flavours now and they're all good, especially the white one

Sadly, they've discontinued the cookies n' cream one (or at least my local one has), but the others are still very nice.

Cheapo supermarket brands are the dirt worst and Maggi aren't much better imo. I usually go with the Spicy Stir Fry flavor but both Masala and Curry are good. The Veg ones are nice but much harder to find. Koka are definitely up there for packet instants - I also recommend Nissin Demae. Those Stir-Fry ones are excellent; there's an Asian mini-market in the Food Hall of our local shopping centre which sells pretty much anything you need to make Asian food (more east, but there's some south), and they have a stack of shelves out the front that has a ton of different noodle brands, including Koka, as well as some Thai, Indonesian, and Filipino ones. They have the Koka vegetable, but also mushroom, crab, lobster, tomato, beef, chicken (obvs), prawn, and Tom-Yum. I tried one of the Singapore ones recently, the duck-flavoured one, and it was lush.
Cousin Jim Bob Posted November 28, 2022 Posted November 28, 2022 Home Bargains are good for Koka. Mine has Stir Fry, beef and chicken in all the time and occasionally others like Tom-Yum. You can buy like 24 pack boxes of them lol. Which I have been tempted to do but my other half would probably kill me. Some of the high end, premium noodle cups from Asia I've seen on Youtube channels like Mikey Chen and DancingBacons look insane. Cups having like ten different bags to add to the noodles including proper slabs of meat. Some having their own self heating element you just add water too like an MRE and they steam away.

I'll be going back as they're very nice and a lot cheaper than Toblerone.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 2, 2022 Paid Members Posted December 2, 2022 Solid 8 out of 10. Not overpowering but just enough coconut to not be disappointing. Would buy again (found in Sainsburys).

Members SuperBacon Posted December 14, 2022 Members Posted December 14, 2022 Finally made it to Poundland. Quick test whilst dinner cooks. Jalapeno 10/10 Garlic Bread 8/10 Honey Mustard & Onion 6/10 (but I don't really like that flavour anyway) And obligatory pick up of 10x packs of the best noodles. Brilliant array of different noodles, but I didn't have time and needed to catch the bus. Next time.

But I understand honey in a "savoury" snack isnt for everyone. Can anyone confirm sight within the British Isles of any of the other flavours mentioned on the back of the packets? Wasabi etc?
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted December 19, 2022 Paid Members Posted December 19, 2022 the missus is big into chocolate covered marshmallow and has got me on the Mallow & Marsh train: There's several flavours but salted caramel are the ones. I mentioned elsewhere on here that i have gluten inotolerance so had to give up a bunch of good shit this year, but these are a great substitute for the ol' Mars Bar. Lovely stuff, bit pricey at 2.50 a bag though.
Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 8, 2023 Paid Members Posted January 8, 2023 Not sure if it's keeping with the thread but I bought some "pruneaux d'agen fourrés" (prunes stuffed with prunes) over Christmas and they are amazing. I'd happily eat the lot in one go and accept consequences.

How does that work? Is it big prunes stuffed with smaller prunes?
