Originally manufactured by Golden Wonder, Pot Rice could be considered a close cousin of Pot Noodle. First available in the early 1980s and discontinued in the early 2000s, Pot Rice was an instant convenience food, made from dehydrated rice, soya protein, vegetables, and flavourings, sold in a plastic pot. Pot Rice was later manufactured by Unilever and Knorr when the Pot Noodle brand went through a series of acquisitions and takeovers in the 1990s. Just three flavours were ever manufactured; "Chicken Risotto", "Chicken Curry", and a "Beef and Tomato" variety. In the 1980s, Golden Wonder experimented further with "Pot Fish" (essentially the same recipe as chicken risotto, but with dried fish pieces and a sachet of dried parsley), and "Pot Chilli", a heavily-spiced variation of chili con carne.
