What's the word I'm thinking of?

Arnt you thinking of 2 words? A clue, the second one is idiots What I dont understand is how with only 2l of water and apparently no stove they were going to eat there noodles Also why did they need a sleeping bag on a day trip?

Eejits. You'd need at least 12 packets of noodles for a trip of that magnitude.

Interesting how, from the photo, Cape Brett seems to have acquired some mountains since I was last there!

that was the earthquakes

2 minute noodles can be eaten raw. They are sometimes used as a bhuja type ingredient. BTW there is a video on the internet that shows what happens when cooked 2 minute noodles are eaten. They sit around in your stomach for a very long time and release something nasty as well. The research was conducted by a gastroenterologist, Dr. Braden Kuo of Massachusetts General Hospital. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/09/03/eating-instant-noodles.aspx It's a particularly nasty synthetic chemical preservative. Handmade ones don't do this. "When food remains in your digestive tract for such a long time, it will also impact nutrient absorption, but, in the case of processed ramen noodles, there isn’t much nutrition to be had. Instead, there is a long list of additives, including the toxic preservative tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ)." Hmm...maybe I should check out the rice and bean vermicelli ones: just 2 ingredients in those - starch and water. It must be that oil in the 2 minute ones that needs the antioxidant TBHQ.

"toxic preservative tertiary-butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ)."" That explains why the closest decade is close enough to the use by date. Only 2 min noodles Ive ever found stale were in a ripped packet that was in a camper that hadnt been touched for at least a year. Still ate them

My record was dehydrated apricots that had expired 20 years before. It took a couple of years to work up the courage to eat them.

I found a Cliff Bar in an old Dana Design pack that I hadn't used for more than a dozen years. It was terrible...

when a mate moved flat some 30 years ago we found a supermarket brand xmas cake in the cupboard with a date 5 years previous. Tasted fine with db
