What is your Emergency Motorhome meal?

[Vanman]

We were unexpectedly 'stuck' in the van the other night and I managed to make up a meal from leftovers in the fridge and I got to wondering if it was sensible to have an emergency meal in the Van for such time. My mind wandered to a tin of beans with sausages in and a tin of new potatoes as they would last for years in a cupboard somewhere. Pretty boring, but we only have x2 gas rings - no Oven or Microwave. So I'm asking what others have if anything and if you can think of anything a little less boring!

Thanks.

Oki Doki... I will say it...
Fray Bentos Pies

I would agree if he had an oven...but he doesn't and you can't cook 'rat pie on' a gas ring....

Smoked sausage, tin of mackerel in tomato sauce, tin of beans.

But definitely get some alternatives after reading all the entries, ie: M+S curry, M+S chicken and also some corned beef with tined tatties. Not many shouts for brekkie cereal, that a proper emergency !

Nothing wrong with a pack of Aldi 3 minute noodles.

Not sure why so many focus on tinned potatoes. We always have real ones in the cupboard, plus carrots in the fridge, which can be cooked together in a single pan. Onions also keep for weeks in the cupboard. Just like at home. Or is cooking in the van such a rare event that maintaining food stocks is unrealistic? Tuna added to macaroni cheese is a staple fallback meal for me. Tinned meat - ham? corned beef? But the real solution is having a fridge with a freezer compartment which always has mince and chicken thighs in it plus some frozen veg.

Not sure if this could qualify as an emergency meal but it’s certainly an easy meal-
Fry some bacon lardons or chopped bacon add Baked beans to pan heat thru.
Plate up and add two fried eggs, with bread it’s a good solid meal, quick & easy.
