I think the spaghetti squash and courgette are the same thing. Iv got some spaghetti squash seeds from last year which i never planted. We had loads of other pumpkins and squash varieties though and not enough space for everything. Will need to grow them this year as the seeds are getting old. Not tried it yet, hoping it's a success, in taste and for growing.

Not tried the zero noodles/rice. Can't get them here. But im looking for a low cal recipe for noodles as i miss eating them. Yesterday i made a chicken and veg stir fry with salad for my fast day meal. Was very tasty. Low cal noodles would of been really good with it.

I found three threads on these noodles so I've merged them all into one! Hope that's OK!

Ah! I wondered why in 'My posts' the shiritake noodle thread came up

I went and bought some Slim noodles from H&B this morning, they are the same as the Zero noodles (more expensive though!) and I have to say I LOVE them. I love rice noodles and these don't seem any different to me so I will definitely be stocking up on them. I love Asian (Oriental) style soups and these are perfect for them. Thanks Monty for letting me know about them

If anyone is interested, the chain Crussh is doing three types of zero noodle soups. I'm eating the Ginger Chicken at the moment which is 212 and there is a Lemongrass Prawn for 167. The Chicken is delicious and pretty big - great value for 212 cals!

Just bought some of these from H&B at lunchtime - there definitely seems a division on love/hate them - I'm hoping that I like them as it'll provide a nice change on a fast day - won't try them today as freshly made leek & potato soup waiting for me at home - but will definitely give them a go next week

Monty you must have got to H&B and cleaned them out before I got there, new delivery arrived today though so heading there before school pick up

Ha Ha SianS - looks like I've been busted! For anyone who can't get the noodles at Holland and Barratt they are available online. Hope you enjoy them Suchard

H&B online have a buy one get one half price on EVERYTHING :O

I tried the Slim Rice and the Zero noodles today (16 kcals and 8 kcals respectively for 200g) and I was pleasantly surprised. They take on the flavours of the sauce you use and so can be quite tasty. The noodles are al dente and the rice is a bit gelatinous but they are very filling so I'll definitely be buying them again. The only negative is that they are quite pricy. Fortunately Holland and Barrett are doing a buy one get one half price offer on online orders at the moment so I've stocked up.

Ooops, sorry didn't see your post!

Ive tried these twice and I like them. Great for fast days but they do need da bit of spice. First time I cooked them too long and they were a slightly odd texture. Used them last night in a spicy stir fry and they were much better. They fill you up for longer too. Definately worth a try.

I have Ko Lee low fat curry flavoured noodles which are delicious - they claim to have only 79 cals per packet which I am slightly dubious about. I bought them off Amazon and am wondering whether to have them on Feast days just in case their calorie info is wrong...? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ko-lee-Instant- ... 803&sr=8-2

I tried the zero noodles from H&B last week - I used them in a spicy Tom Yum soup, and they were totally edible, a bit like rice noodles. I made double the quantity and froze half, which I had last night. But the noodles didn't seem to like being frozen and reheated - they were very wrinkly and chewy. I'd definitely buy and use them again, but I would avoid putting them in something that will be going in the freezer.

Hi, my local H&B were selling the Zero Noodles. Sold out in hours, so I bought them online. Hope I like them. Bought 14 packs !
Try them out tomorrow on my Thursday fast day (6th) not sure how much I have lost but my trousers feel baggier today weigh-in on Friday.

me too, just bought 14 packsts to avoid postage, hope theyre not awful
