Note to self
Next time you feel the need to get lunch from the Japanese Canteen, do not ask for noodles instead of rice. Reasons be there three.
Reason the first: they cost an extra 50p, which is a Cheek.
Reason the second: they are the weirdest, wormiest noodles man hath ever made, and will scare you. And not taste good.
Reason the third: being mutant noodles, they will be even less chopstick-friendly than you expect, and will result in offensive slurping, splashing and staining of clothes. Also, your keyboard will be sticky thereafter*.
I do hope I remember this.

* Unless you don't eat at your desk. But you need the monitor to hide behind, given the severe unsightliness of noodle consumption. Eating in breakout area would be Most Unwise.

1) Noodles are imported; rice is local. Oh, wait, no it isn't. But wheat is more pricy than rice. Oh, wait, chinese noodles are made from rice. But rice is unprocessed, noodles aren't. There's your 50p.
2) Not Wagamama, then
3) Possibly Wagamama after all; udon noodles veeeery messy
Hey, at least you had time for lunch. My 2h45min tube journey this morning gazzumped my lunch hour.
Not Wagamama, no. Wagamama noodles messy, but not bizarre, and have never left me feeling queasy. As these did. Japanese Canteen is really called exactly that, and while the chicken was tasty enough, the noodles are definitely to be avoided.
