OMG, I must say I have tried the shiataki noodles and found the fishy smell revolting and the texture disgusting.....But the power of the T.V. I saw the Barenaked noodles on dragons den and found them in Holland and Barrett buy one get one half price. Well I have just made my spag bolls (which was delish) but what made it was the noodles....no smell or having to rinse just drain and add to the pan and the texture very nice. Give them a try if you haven't already, really makes you think you've had carbs xxx
