If they are smaller it's easy to compensate: just eat more! ;0)
I looked at the 'ingredients' and it has at least 1-2 the ionic surfactants (5-15% instead of 15-30%), no ionic surfactants (usually 5-15%) and no amphoteric surfactants (few %), so you need to use probably 4x as much, if not more, to get the same cleaning power, and using 4x as much means 4x as much residue in the dishwater which isn't good for anyone.
I used to live on them for lunches (2 packs at a time, a whole week for 80p + little electric) and as an occbuttional thing they're fine, but they are quite gloopy compared to 'real noodles' and I dread to think what's in the sachets. Not that you expect anything else at 8p and I'd recommend them if you can stand them, but some people find them vile.
Lidl food is it REALLY this bad! 534I am quite disparaging of supermarkets, the tricks they use and the impact they have but I have to eat Value humble pie at the moment as funds simply mean we have to...
I singled them out more as being obviously value rather than being plain bad.
Lidl food is it REALLY this bad! 535Yes. That's the crux ATM. But not quite the whole story. Let's think about what happens if farmers here stop producing and UK food production drops...
It's trial and error, really. For every quiche that's horrible (aren't they all?) there's a bag of porridge oats. I don't think there's a sure fire way of knowing beforehand, although I'd probably stear clear of anything with meat in it.
