Fellow Norwegians ! Anyone else have dry noodles crushed up and added the seasoning packet for a quick snack ๐๐? I ate it recently in front of some international friends and they were mortified. ๐So I guess itโs only a Norwegian thing ?

No! Whats wrong with you?
used to do it in middle school but would never do it today lol
In the US we call that prison style ramen. Not sure how widespread that is..
only really works with yumyum
People do it over here in germany too. Everytime when i walked home from school me and my friends walked past a small shop we just call the turkia shop, they always get a pack and chrush them like that. Im half norwegian and half thai and everytime someone does that a bit of thai dies inside of myโฆ JUST FRY THEM. Yeah, its good tho.
Real men eat them dry, snort the seasoning and swallow it all down with a shot of boiling water.
Lol Canadian here, we used to do that in school and the teachers to stop, weโd get worms ๐
Yeah but only with these specific noodles. Other types taste too much like flour, these are like chips almost.
We always do it in Thailand when we.are young:)
I am glad that you enjoy Thai instant noodles there!!
Maybe. It was at least very popular with the kids in junior high I went at (low income area).
I did it as a kid and my younger (kid) cousins still do it. Its more common for kids rather than teen/adults that do it.
Right thanks for the clarification all , seems to be certainly not a cultural thing but rather the fact that I still have the taste buds of a 12 year old lol ! Cool to hear this was a common thing for many growing up :)!
EDIT .. Iโm new to Reddit so wrote the whole thing in the title.. turns out you canโt change titles. Didnโt mean to offend any Norwegians with this but definitely a more fitting title should be : โanyone eat this as a kid and still occasionally do it for the nostalgiaโฆ or if youโre just plain broke ๐โ
Almost everyone in my class who brough noodles to middle school some 20 years ago did this.I still remember the disappointment when a friend told me his grandmother used to have these packs of noddles, and we agreed we’d go over and ask if we could have one to eat dry .. and she cooked it for us.
Never tried it . I’ll try it as I’m in Norge ๐
We have snacks where you’re supposed to do that in Australia so I end up testing it with other instant noodles on occasion ๐
Yeah I remember it was a thing in elementary school in the late 2000s. I’ve done it once or twice
Edit: to the point that they banned it at school
Australia reporting in to say we do it here too!
This is how kids eat it. Come on.
In the Philippines they sold something called Nooda-Crunch. Basically what it was, was a pack of crisps, but instead of potato chips, it was dry noodles, and a packet of flavoring (in your usual potato chip flavoring like cheese, bbq, etc.).
You had to crush up the noodles in the pack into little bite sized (but not brittle) pieces, then add the cheese powder (or whatever flavor you chose), and enjoy!
Now whether the noodles in Nooda-Crunch were the same noodles as in normal packs of noodles or noodles made of potato chips (if that makes sense), I have no idea.
So I donโt think itโs weird what your doing ๐. Heck I eat the dry noodles that get leftover in the pack whenever I go prepare a hot bowl of noodles.
No, it happens in other places, but itโs a snack for weirdos.
This was a ghetto thing we did as kids (I lived in the ghetto and my better off friends thought it was gross too) ย ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Not really a Norwegian thing. A lot of kids did that when I went to school in Australia ๐
It’s definitely not a Norwegian thing. I would be mortified myself…
I’m Norwegian and I’ve never heard of eating noodles dry. Maybe because noodles aren’t very Norwegian?!
Oh hell no, my brudda. As a fellow Norwegian, I can’t say I’ve ever been tempted to try this. Glad you found something you enjoy though – keep up living the ultimate snack life
