Mug Shot Pasta / Noodle Snack

More often than not I bring my own lunch to work, rather than buying it from the work canteen, or stealing someone else's from the communal fridge (I am of course joking about that last bit. I'm forever bringing milk into work for my coffee and cereal only to discover that some other joker has stolen it, and left me with an empty carton. I've often contemplated contaminating my milk with a surprise additional ingredient (I'll let you all use your imagination what I'd contaminate it with) to exact my revenge on these thieves. Anyway, I've slightly gone off on one there...). Having sandwiches every day can get a bit boring (don't get me wrong, I love sandwiches, ...  Read the complete review

Mug Shots are smallish sachets of dried pasta in sauce, ideal for taking for a quick lunch at work or enjoying at home as a quick snack. They come in foil coated paper style sachets which are easily torn apart, brightly coloured, the cream cheese one is green and the tomato one is red, that is all I remember, sorry!!

'Mug Shot' is a quick pasta or noodle snack you make in a mug, just like a Cup-a-Soup. It comes in a sachet that you simply pour into a mug and fill up with boiling water. You give it a good stir, leave it to stand for 5 minutes and it is ready to eat. They can be found in supermarkets and convenience stores, and I get mine from Tesco at a bargain 42p a sachet.
