Are packet noodles a snack or a meal?

[seeformiles]

A staple meal when we were students was the “Pizza Noodle Naan” - Naan bread topped with garlic butter, tomato noodles and cheese. It’s a great stand by especially when it’s too hot to eat a full meal so an hour ago we had beef chipolata sausages and Nass goreng noodles. Very satisfying.

Dinner is the meal you have when in the daytime, tea is the meal you have in the evening

No - dinner can refer to either lunch or tea.

I'm going to have a packet of noodles, two fried eggs and a mountain of vegetables + chilli crisp.

Apologies for resurrecting, but missed it the first time and as noodles are a very important part of my diet I feel compelled to join in.

I said "Summat else". Why? Because a pack of noodles on its own is a snack. But it can quite easily be made into a meal. Usually some hotpot fish bits, mixed veg, some nori and a fried egg if you're feeling it. Hard to dispute that's a meal then. I used to buy exclusively the Korean ones, but in my dotage I can't handle the heat as much any more so I'm going back to the Japanese ones. I still think the Korean ones are nicer, but fuck me almost all of them are pretty hot.

Love them . If on a snack if with added stuff breakfast dinner tea but never lunch. I think lunch only happens in Surrey.
