In "House of the Tiger King: The Quest for a Lost City," author Tahir Shah describes how the porters accompanying him were motivated by the promise of a Pot Noodle after tough treks in harsh weather conditions. The simple mention of this food made them more willing to endure the challenges of driving rain and difficult terrain.

This illustrates the power of basic comforts and the psychological impact of incentives. Shah's narrative sheds light on the relationship between the explorers and their porters, highlighting how small rewards can inspire resilience and perseverance during arduous journeys.
