You can probably buy them cheaper elsewhere
a bit pricey for what you get
very pricey in local shops with hardly no variety
When I dont feel like cooking properly or just want something fast
to leave it for three minutes and put the sauce on after and mix it and then put the vegetables in after particularly I dont like the vegetables in so I dont put them in
So it's just a very bland taste with no discernable duck taste
Not gluten free
Noodles all stuck together
