So after sampling so many varieties of instant noodles over the years, of course there have been some that I didn’t like. There also were some that are so memorable for how awful they were. After people asked what my least favorites were a few times, I thought I should just make a list of them. 多年来我一直试吃不同种类方便面,当然会遇到我不喜欢的类型。有些方便面甚至难吃到让人无法忘记的程度。好几次都有人问我最不喜欢那些方便面,所以我觉得应该列个清单出来。
I should point out that these are on the list because I couldn’t stand them. I’m pretty sure they are all still in production, and the only reason they would be is that people somewhere find them enjoyable. 需要指出的是,这份清单里的产品都是我个人最不喜欢的。我确信这些方便面在市面上都有销售,因为总会其它地方的人喜欢它们的口味。
So who knows – you might have a completely different opinion on these than me, but I found them to be absolutely the worst of the worst. With that, here’s The Bottom Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time, 2013 Edition。谁知道呢,你也许和我有完全不同的观点,但我认为没有哪种方便面能比下面的更难吃。以下就是“史上十大最难吃方便面(2013年版)”。
#10: Wei Lih Instant Noodles With Artificial Beef Flavored Soup Stock – Taiwan第十名:维力香辣牛肉面——台湾
I’ve had issues with broth being too salty before, but the lack of flavor in this one wasn’t tolerable. The flavor had a very ‘fake beef’ taste to it which was not at all enjoyable。我以前总不喜欢太咸的汤,但这种方便面的寡淡无味简直难以忍受。调料包里的牛肉味特别假,一点儿都不好吃。
#9: GreeNoodle Miso Made With Moroheiya – Thailand第九名:绿泡面味噌口味——泰国
The noodles had a flavor I found to be akin to dirt – very strange. In the original review, I comment that the broth was ‘nightmarish.’我发现这种面的味道跟土一样,特别奇怪。在我之前的评论中,曾说它的面汤就是“一场噩梦”。
#8: Fashion Food Oriental Flavor Instant Noodles – Thailand第八名:Fashion Food东方口味泡面——泰国
These noodles came in a nice little plastic bowl with lid, As cool as that is, it didn’t make up for some seriously funky noodles and vile broth and veggies。这种方便面装在带盖子的塑料小盒里,看着很漂亮,却没法弥补里面令人作呕的面条和肮脏浑浊的面汤、蔬菜。
#7: Baijia Hot & Sour Flavor Instant Rice Noodle – China第七名:白家过桥米线酸辣味——中国
The broth was of a deep crimson color. While interesting to look at, the slimy noodles and overly greasy broth with odd bits floating around were a turn-off trifecta. I couldn’t finish this bowl。深红色面汤看起来非常诱人,面条太细、面汤太油,再加上汤里漂浮的奇怪碎片,这三个缺陷立刻让你没有食欲。反正我是吃不下这碗。
#6: Noodle Time Spicy Thai Instant Ramen Noodles With Real Vegetables – Canada第六名:Noodle Time辣味泰式拉面——加拿大
A prime example of noodle I dislike: watery broth, exceedingly mushy and spongy noodles and veggies that were lackluster and of the most minimal quantity and quality。这是我最讨厌方便面里的典型代表:面汤清汤寡水,面条像海绵一样多孔稀松,蔬菜毫无光泽,质量差不说分量还少。
#5: Nan Hsing Vegetarian Rice Noodles – Taiwan第五名:南兴新竹素食米粉——台湾
The noodles were akin to cobwebs – not the ones spiders make, but the fake ones you get for Halloween. The veggies didn’t hydrate well at all, and the broth wasn’t much. Couldn’t eat it。吃这种面条就像是在吃蜘蛛网一样,还不是蜘蛛织出来的那种,而是布置万圣节用的假蜘蛛网。蔬菜太过干瘪,也没有多少面汤,总之难以下咽。
#4: Paldo Green Tea Chlorella Noodles – South Korea第四名:八道御膳海藻鲜味——韩国
While this company makes some noodles I really enjoy, they also make this one which I deplore. It’s just got such a funky flavor to it and a smell I can’t take。这家公司出产过几种我喜欢的面条,但也有我讨厌的。这种面条总有一种恶臭味,闻起来真让我受不了。
#3: Fu Chang Chinese Noodle Company Pork, Seafood & Noodles Combo – United States第三名:Fu Chang海鲜泡面——美国
The noodles in this one were really mushy, and while it had a retort pouch with meat and seafood, it was really nasty。这种面条一点都不劲道,虽然它还带着装有肉类和海鲜的蒸煮袋,但实在是太难吃了。
#2: Baijia Instant Sweet Potato Noodle Spicy Fei-Chang Flavor – China第二名:白家辣味肥肠味方便粉丝——中国
A strong ‘dirt and urine’ scent accompanied by slimy sweet potato noodles. As it turns out, Fei Chang relates to fried pork intestines。细细的粉丝里带着很重的“土味尿味”。“Fei Chang” 指的是油炸过的猪大肠。
#1: Baijia Single Noble Black Bone Chicken Flavor Instant Sweet Potato Noodles – China第一名:单身贵族黑骨鸡粉丝——中国
Here is my least favorite variety of all. Slimy sweet potato noodles, thick, greasy broth and horrid veggies that didn’t hydrate well。这是所有方便面中我最讨厌的。粉丝过细,汤汁浓而油腻,还有恐怖的风干蔬菜。
