Tinned food

FatVonD

DH is a very fussy eater but he likes the Mr T chilli in a can

I'd chance the curries too, it's probably the same stuff that's in ready meals just in a can.

When you say you're going away are you going to have to take food with you ?
What about taking packets it's much lighter to carry.Asda do a range of Vegetarian meals, nut roast;meat free burgers; meat free sausage etc. although you'd need a microwave.

The Stagg chilli is nice.

Me and OH go to a festival every year so stock pile on tinned food. So we have quite a few favs now

The Heniz big breakfast in a tin is nice. Along with Tescos Ravioli and Mac Cheese.

Asda do the most amazing spag bol in a tin and there currys in a tin are nice too.

Hope this helps

Aldi chili is lovely... and a massive tin!

Tinned soups are good, tinned fruit is convenient and tastes nice if a little sweet.

The Fray Bentos pies are quite good in a pinch, if you have access to an oven.

Hi

Thanks for all your replies. Yes I just want to know whar tinned food people rate / don't rate. One ring stove, no fridge (not that its needed in this weather), no nearby shops. Just need some hot emergency meal ideas that can be thrown together in about 30 seconds.

Thanks for the replies

For breakfast I like the porridge pots that just need hot water adding to the pot.

For a more substantial meal pasta with stir in sauce, doesn't take much longer than warming up a tin of pasta .

And inpersonally love spam.

Make sure you check that whatever you buy can be cooked on a stove though, we've had a few disappointments where after a long day at a festival we've gone to make the meal we were looking forward to and found it's microwave only.

And don't forget the tin opener!

my boyfriend really likes those currys in a tin from Asda, they also do a tin of I think it's called Cajun chicken which he really rates too

I really fancy beans and sausages on toast now

I hope you are going wherever it is by car, it'd be a right pain lugging all those tins on the bus or train
