For any confused Americans, a British flapjack is not a pancake, it’s more of a soft granola bar.

    Yeah. You can add Canada to the confused list. Is "pot noodle" ramen or something?

    Dried noodles, a few peas and some flavouring in a plastic pot/tub/cup/container, which you add boiling water to to "cook".

    Generally for eating at work/school etc, where you might want warm food but only have a kettle (electric water boiling device).
