any recommendations for canned food?

How about using 2 packets of chicken noodles. Add some cooked ham half way through. I use Bernard Mathews wafer thin turkey ham cut up. When noodles are cooked i then add some tinned sweetcorn. Tastes great and very simple to do. Also very filling.

never thought there could be so much choice in terms of canned foods.

Addiscomber, i like the comment baou it not being a prison sentence... we do intend to get the occasional treat. I am going into town at lunchtime to grab some books for entertainment. OH does not read so might be a complete bore for him without a telly nor a computer.

1 Can tuna (drained)
1 can Cambells condensed mushroom soup.
1 can sweetcorn drained

Mix all together, only add a little water (re:-the condensed soup) warm.

*can add a drained can of mushrooms,
*can fry off an onion first in the oil drained from the tuna, before adding all of the other ingredients.
*can serve the sweetcorn separately, warmed in its own liquid from the can

MFG - try checking out this website - it's aimed at people who camp/caravan etc. but if you have a browse through the forums you should find plenty of ideas - they're really friendly over there (just like this place.... ) and if you explain your predicament, I'm sure you'll get loads of pratical ideas. This is a link straight to the forums over there.

One idea I know of, is to freeze some of your milk just before you go, and put it in your freezer box (hoping you have one!?) along with the food/drinks you want to keep chilled. It helps keeps the contents of the freezer box cold, and eventually defrosts to be used.

Oh, and the disposable BBQs that eveyone's trying to get rid of at the moment would be really handy if you have somewhere to put them !!

One BIG thing - NEVER, EVER be tempted to cook inside your tent - it takes seconds for them to go up in flames, and the chances of getting anything (or anyone !!) out before it takes hold does not bear thinking about !!! :eek: :eek:
