How to make it?
"Creamy cheese" - one of many souvenir cups Mug Shot make |
How edible is it?
It doesn't taste wonderful. What did you expect? It's edible and still worth the pound for 3 sachets, but it's a fairly boring cheese flavour and the sauce runs out after a while, leaving a lot of pasta. With my first sachet, I found that the pasta never really got soft. It was still quite crispy even when i got to the bottom of the cup. Having reached the bottom, and deciding I didn't want to go through that experience again, I decided I may as well take this opportunity to try out the 3 sachets in 3 different environments. From that, I could answer the questions "Is it more enjoyable in different environments?", "Do you learn to love the taste?" and perhaps "Does the pasta go soft on most occasions or does it not do that?"
Environment 1 - Sitting on the sofa in the living room with the tv on
I have already detailed what my experience was like with my first sachet. The television being on did little to improve the experience, but it probably did distract me from the crispy pasta and knowing I had 2 more to go at some point slightly more than it could have if the television wasn't on.
Environment 2 - Walking about I think, but I can't remember where
I'm really sorry. But what I do remember is that the pasta was soft this time, which is a good thing. I may have left it standing less than 5 minutes the first time, which could explain the crispy pasta.
Environment 3 - A passenger in a car driving over a stony beach on an island off the coast
I do remember this one. I was making bonfires during the morning on an island off the coast. After a busy morning, I felt that being more hungry may improve the experience of "Mug Shot" pasta. It was a shitty wet day and I was going back onto the mainland to load logs off somewhere. There was an electric kettle back at the workhouse and it was a good opportunity to quickly boil some water and then miss out step 4 onwards. Surprisingly, the pasta was soft, but it was still as completely uninspiring as the other 2 cups. With numerous potholes and bumpy lanes, the pasta in the cup could have easily led to a chipped tooth or boiling cheese over my face, but it cooled down fairly quickly and I managed not to smash my teeth.
Are they worth £1?
Overall, the 3 sachets are definitely worth the pound you pay people! Taste-wise, it isn't great, but that's why there are better quality, more expensive pasta dishes out there. There wouldn't be any point having nutritious, tasty pasta dishes for lots of money and then similarly nutritious, tasty pasta dishes for less money. The important thing is that it is edible, and edible without any particularly nasty, lasting tastes. The pasta looks like pasta and the "cheese" flavour is pretty cheesy. How much you enjoy your cup probably does depend on which environment you are in, but the same goes for most things. And finally, what I can now say after 3 sachets, is that the pasta does go soft on most occasions. What more could you want from pasta in a mug, eh?
Thanks a lot for sharing such a good source with all, i appreciate your efforts taken for the same. I found this worth sharing and must share this with all.
