Boil In The Bag - Vestey Foods/Beyond The Beaten Track

[boney gumbo mcgee]

Hi All

Just ordered some boil in the bag food from www.beyondthebeatentrack.co.uk, as a veggie backpacker I was getting a bit bored of wayfarers poor selection of veggie foods, I know if I wasn't so lazy that I could cook up some nice treats, but I like the concept of boil in the bag, no washing up etc, it seems that they supply british and new zealand army too.

Will be testing them out next week, am really looking forward to pesto/pasta.

Downside: P&P keep the pouches down to there postal limit.

11.63 for a lamb hotpot ,,, no bad ,,, cheaper in a restraunt ...

I see the lamb hotpot as £3.61 not £11.63. Where did you get your price?

Cheers!

Still steep for the 24hr hr rations can get them less than half the price on other site.

That is useful to know. What other site? Are they selling the same product?

Cheers!

Thanks. I think I've seen that one. I must admit I tend to roll my own so most of this is academic interest sparked by the fact that I know someone who works for Vestey Foods. I hadn't realised that they did this sort of stuff. I may see if I can get some 'samples'.

If you have eggs but no skillet or oil and do have a small clean zipp-lock bag pull broken egg in the bag and scramble it up and close bag removing as much air as you can put in boiling water till done if you have cheese it maks it a lot better
