[MillyMoHo]

Does anyone remember a Vesta curry?
It was in a box.
Don’t think they sell it nowadays

Yes, and Chicken Chow Mein and Beef Risotto

They do ... hubby got one a while back which had been reduced to see if they'd changed ... they have ... they're no longer 'just' crap but ;totally and utterly' crap!

Are you hoping to survive until Boxing Day?

It’s been a while since I had an M&S tinned curry so thought I’d try a chicken tikka masala. It was absolute crap! Chicken good quality but the sauce was glutinous and not very curry like. Now, for next Friday we have 2 tins of the original chicken curry to try and I just hope it’s as good as I last remember it.

Heating food in their tins always takes me back to Boy Scout camp, two holes punched into the lid of a can of Heinz chicken soup with the obligatory sheath knife and placed onto the embers of the camp fire. Several of us sitting around wondering why the steam had stopped venting out of the holes, closely followed by a chicken/napalm like explosion !

I love this related painting by Martin van Dukkum, "single bloke living" in a nutshell, well it would be for me !

You do know you are supposed to heat it up don't you?

Couscous (super quick & easy) & bulgar wheat (few minutes cooking time) are our alternatives to rice & essential stock in the motorhome. Have tried a couple of the M&S curries & added grated carrot (couple minutes softened in pan before adding curry) & pulses to make a more substantial tasty meal.

Sent my stoker to put a huge catering tin of tomatoe soup to heat on a steam manifold for the middle watchmen... did it every night.. no problems.. not this time.... yep he did not pierce tin....
Spent next week painting the lagging in the engine room.

…. cooking a chicken (that escaped from the freezer) by sticking it under a steam drain.

And tinned new potatoes?

In Morrisons yesterday and noticed FB pies were £2, I'm sure they only used to be a quid. Not only now meat free but more expensive. Not that I was going to buy, just saw them.

Retrieved some unused Bentos Pies from the boat the other day and thought we would give them a try again. Oh dear! In the bin they went. Used to love them. They were the extra 30% meat ones as well, but 30% of very little is not much! We will now just continue with our Dewdneys pasties in the freezer for each sailing from now on.

Ok… so… on recommendation of the guys n gals here… I tried M&S tinned ‘hot chicken curry’ yesterday with an M&S naan bread
I thought I’ll try before adding to ‘reserve’ in MoHo

OMG!
Why didn’t I know about this before?

Two tins added to the MoHo straight away
Have to try other M&S tins now..

Howdy, y’all

Well, we didn’t want to miss out on all these exciting flavours, so we picked up a couple of packs of Idahoan mash from our local Tesco. We will take them away on our next trip …..

Unfortunately, Tesco had run out of their version of tinned chicken in white sauce. So, it looks like we’ll have to buy the M&S or Sainsburys version (which we prefer anyway). Served with quick-cook rice, this has for many years been one of our favourite quick meals when camping (much to the disgust of our children). We always keep a tin in the emergency box.

Think myself & first husband lived on Vesta meals and anything else that would survive without a fridge in 1971!

 

[Basildog]

Tried a tin of the M&S Beef Madras
If you can get past what it looks like , it was actually quite tasty
The pre cooked rice however has that processed food taste

 

[Verteuil Man]

This is always a tasty meal to have in the cupboard. Lasts for years. Nice with some rice or chips.

 

[Carpmart]

A tin of Cassoulet is all you need for emergencies…










And to be honest, it would need to be a BIG emergency too!!

 

[MadManMardy]

Taking "The Piss" is a bit strong,, but yes I was being facetious..
Thought everyone would have enough nonce to realise that... Oh well maybe not everyone!

Geoff lives in Poland and has done for 11 years so may not be quite so familiar with our 'love' of FB pies!
