And thatās why people have to do those bullshit jobs you mentioned above. Not everyone owns Huel and can swan about in a private jet. Youāve got people down the warehouse shoving bags of powder into boxes and getting it shipped all over the place. Thatās probably pretty boring too. Not much different to shoving boxes of cereal round a supermarket.
Most jobs are boring. Thatās the way our economy works
Boiling water is a dangerous activity known to even result in death! No thanks.
I work in retail, and I think your generalisation is ill-considered. All work has purpose, and any job well-done is worthy and valuable, especially when it involves providing a service to the community. Automation isnāt always beneficial
Not mutually exclusive.
Such a lovely person arenāt you.
I could actually smell the spices as the DPD guy opened the door and now my office smells like a Sri Lankan spice mart.
Wonāt be trying them today thoā¦already got my lunch sorted.
Personally very happy with this product. Hopefully we will get other flavors available in this format as well. Canāt stand too spicy foods so I will only try the Katsu option. I like to always keep some Huel at my office in my locker in case I donāt have time for proper lunch or if thereās no good company for lunch available. This saves me having to pre-measure the Huel into the plastic containers, even though its not super time consuming I still value not having to do it.
any news on recyclable bags for the powder?
I thought they were recyclable now? Iāve been putting mine in the soft plastics recycling trolley at Tesco for ages. It says it accepts pet food pouches and they are foil lined as well.
The plastic film lids of the new pots say recycle with plastic bags at supermarkets; most people wonāt bother to do that thoughā¦itās all very well having products that can be recycled, but so many people still donāt bother with it.
Should that be happening? Doesnāt that mean that the pots are leaking, or are damaged, or thereās something wrong in the factory?
It means the delivery dude was Sri Lankan and just had lunch
Itās the recyclable pots. Made of rice paper.
They donāt appear damaged or leaky.
Probably just another substandard Huel product for us to complain about.
Easy there. If the pots are made of cardboard with a thin plastic liner designed for solids and liquids then the flavour smell will be gasses escaping through the pot.
Apparently they arenāt recyclable, despite what it says on the packaging.
You canāt believe anything you read these days.
Damn those packaging artworkers (blame the printers 
):
The lid on our pots isnāt currently recyclable, but this is something weāre working on. However, due to a printing error the pots say the lids are recyclable, which sadly is not the case. This mistake has been resolved for future print runs. Please put the lid in your regular waste bin.
BTW - whats the BBE on these? the liners are usually just for short term water and oil resistance and not usually gas barriers - is it 12 months still or less?
July 2024 is BBE
ok not a year then but still good for a paper pot.
Just had my first pot of fiery chickān. Iām basing my comments around my usual Pot Noodle Fusion Chili Chicken.
After the initial fill and stir I added more water to get back to the fill line. After 6 minutes the consistency was a reasonably thick creamy sauce instead of a watery soup like the Pot Noodle. The texture of the noodles was more firm/dense than I expected, whether I need to add more water Iām not sure, I may try that next time. Looking at the picture on the Huel page, the picture looks more watery so could be why.
You can tell the flavour is Thai based, I havenāt had much Thai so canāt compare to any specific dishes. Heat wise, it is spicy, probably on par with the Fusion Chili Chicken, made my nose run but no forehead sweats!
Overall I liked it. I think I prefer the flavour of the Fusion (more savoury?) and the consistency of the noodles. Will see how it is with more water next time.
I used recommend amount of water and as you can see itās quite thickā¦would probably add a little more next time.
Needs a bit longer than 5 minutes to soften up and even then the chickān pieces arenāt totally soft. The taste is definitely firey. Its more of a hot taste than a good depth of flavour and itās a bit like when I was first experimenting with spicy foods and didnāt know how to makes the most of the various spices and would just add extra hot curry powder thinking that was all it needed.
It also feels like could use more salt and I never add salt to any food apart from chips, yet it contains ample salt.
Not my favourite Huel product I must say, but will try with more water next time.
I can also confirm there is a bit of burn on the way out also, not too bad though.
