They carry the whole range at Tebay Service Station's farm shops.

If you are ever heading north on the M6 that is a definite place to stop. It has a cult following amongst us lot up here.

My car broke down there a couple of years ago, brand new too! AA man came, fixed it but it took me another hour to get my wife out of the shop! Fantastic place, a must on the M6.

Thanks Andy. That link works. The food looks great.

Last night I indulged in a boil-in-the-bag curry branded as "Ye Olde Oak", and I have to say it was fantastic. I got it from Asda, about £2.50, claimed to serve 2, but I managed to wolf the lot (with just a little rice). The one I tried was a vindaloo - quite hot but very tasty. There are others in the same range, I will be trying more.

Surely is a fine place to shop,but sometimes a bit far to travel for me.
What I did was to buy one of those vacuum sealers that use the 3 layer bags and do my own boil in the bags.
Now whenever I've had a successful time the surplus goes in them and gets frozen,in the freezer right now are smoked brownies with garlic butter,venison with wild mushrooms (various species)casseroled in port with a hint of bitter chocolate,pigeon with bramleys and parasol mushrooms casseroled in cider,various currys,and a whole load of other stuff.
I think it was one of my better purchases.

I also like the Indian boxed foil packs you get for a quid in Indian shops. Things like Chole, Tahka Dhal and my favourite, Chana Masala. Quick, easy, tasty and nutritionally sound. Yum.

Only downside is sharing a tent later... ;-)

Here's a pic. It's not the make I buy, but it's similar.

Did you ever get the norgie Rats?

Did you ever get the norgie Rats?

Third week in August

I notice Tesco are selling Tuna in retort pouches now; this type of packing is popular in the States, looks like its catching on here

 

[scanker]

Are the tuna the little weightwatchers type ones? I noticed I think 3 different varieties of curry in pouches yesterday - each 2 person (or 1 bushcrafter) portion.

bear in mind he's in catford and they cant even manage a decent kebab in london going by my recent excursions.

how in the heck did you manage to get norgy rations I've been trying for 10 years plus?

 

[rik_uk3]

A guy I talk to in Norway is coming over in August and bringing the norgie packs for me to try. They are hard to find over there and near impossible in the UK

These people make them I believe

Tamarack sell these - pricey but very good to have at the bottom of your bergan! I've had a few but prefer the bolognese. IMHO you should avoid the beef stew though!
