Raven meals - CHEAP!!!

[bikething]

I've seen Raven meals mentioned a few times in threads recently, with a quoted price of approx £5 per meal?

I've just bought some off ebay (from BCB no less!) 10 meals for £3 !!!!
They do a mixture (i asked for them to NOT include the rice pudding and they obliged ) I got a mixture of main meals, puddings, and breakfasts

The advert says "The Shelf Life on these meals are guaranteed for at least 4 months" - all the packs I got were marked BBE Nov 2007 - but that's a 'best before" date, not a "use by" and I doubt they're going to turn into poison overnight

anyway, here's the link : click me!! - see what you think? (I've just bought 20 )

and now the obligatory: "I've no connection with the seller, just a happy customer", etc. etc. yadda yadda .. whatever

ordered mine wednesday night - food parcel arrived this morning

The rice pudding thing? - when we were kids my dad came home 1 day with 4 trays (32 tins each) of dented tins from the ambrosia factory in devon - after eating it 2 or 3 times a day for weeks, even the thought of the stuff makes me feel ill

Cheers for the link. I'm not too worried about the sell buy date, I reckon it will keep for ages as it's properly sealed. I bought 20 too!

Damn straight! Ambrosia indeed!!! lol

Just bought some of these myself - never tried them so I thought I would see if they make a viable alternative to store bought provisions for a few days camping. At this price, if they are rubbish then I've lost a fiver!

Bargain!

Even if I had, the damage had already been done by then.. I still wouldn't have eaten it!!

Whats wrong with putting rice, sugar and milk in a dish and baking it?

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

Well as I have a couple of trips coming up, I bought 30 meals, they arrived two days later. Guess who got all the rice pudding then?

hahaha well at least 12 were! But to be fair it was split 50:50 desserts and main meals. These seem to be exactly the same as some army arctic/patrol rations I had a few years ago. Anyway, a great buy indeed and I'm sure my good lady will like them too. It certainly makes eating outdoors alot easier with just a kelly kettle, no hassle on wet drizzley mornings firing a stove up and washing pans after!

whats the creamy porridge and hot cereal like in these packs??

 

[Nat]

Got mine this morning and no rice pudding woot!

Shame the date is november 2007! Guess i better get eating or get out.
And the new morrisons has opened up and they have steel cans...........

 

[buckley]

Going to have to buy some of these, are they all Nov 2007???

Its only a 5 minutes drive from me, so I think i'll go and collect.


Cheers.

 

[Nat]

All mine are.

I've got two rice puddings and two hot cereal start if anybody wants to swap them for something more pallatable? i'd swap the four of them for two main meals
