How generous are the 'Look What We Found' meal portions?

[adriatikfan]

Having come across the 'Look What We Found' site reading through an older thread, I wonder if any of you have experience of their preprepared meals i.e. taste, texture etc.,

Particularly I'm interested in the size of the portion. Some of the meals look very attractive.

TIA

I love all that I have tasted - and that is a fair few - but have to say that I need a bit of rice or spud or pasta to bulk them out a bit....but I am a fat old git with more apitite than is good for me!
The portions seem a little bit smaller than rat pack single pouch meals...but taste a lot better!

I agree with JF, taste great with slightly small portions, and I'm not a fat old git. Well, I'm not fat at least

Ditto what others have said - they are very tasty but need bulking out a bit.

I'd agree with the others. If you're expecting to feel stuffed after one, you probably won't. However, all the ones I've had are tasty.

Maybe if you have a tinned treacle sponge pudding afterwards...

Thanks chaps - very helpful advice. I think I'll get a couple to try out before buying a number before our holiday this summer.

Just as a matter of interest, are there any other similar set-ups which sell good quality, price-reasonable stuff that I wouldn't know about?

One of the best ones I had was a wild rabbit one for the tender meat...wasn't so sure about the Eldeflower sauce! Agreed, just a bit small portion wise.

The main meals taste good, but as stated the portions are small. I particularly like the Chilli
The soups IMHO are not so good. Badly seasoned, not much in the way of flavour, quite watery and the small portion thing again.

Although they are nice I do think they are quite pricey for what you get.

Great for an overnighter but carrying enough for a full trip would add a lot of weight, as they contain lots of water.

But lovely as a treat on the first night in camp

All very yum but need bulking out with spuds or rice

Many thanks again for your reponses.

for similar sorts of things, check out the ethnic food isles in your supermarkets.
I've found curries in pouches that are quite good (and in "two serving" bags)

I was looking at these in Waitrose's last week end, £2.99 for a 300g. pouch.
They are pretty small so will need to be supplemented with noodles, rice etc.
Can they be boiled in the bag like retort ration pouches or do you have to decant them into a pot first?
Happy trails...torc.

cook them in the bag in water on your engine of your vehicle etc etc
