Ok hands up how many of you know that SPAM stands for:

Specially
Processed
American
Meat

I'm feeling smug now that I actually know something clever for a change.

Lol

Ade.

Err, maybe not. I always thought it meant 'SPiced hAM' but apparently, no one actually knows the answer.

I have recently found the vesta dry meals.
Light, cheap (available in poundland) and surprisingly tasty!!
The chow mein was excellent, just bing it all in a pot and simmer.

For breakfasts, I got some cinnamon instant porridge packets, emptied 2 in a bag, put in an apple and cinnamon porridge topper, added a couple of tablespoons of powdered milk and again just simmered it and ate it out of the pot, very cheap and delicious.

I also has bagels for lunch on a recent trip, I decanted some peanut butter and chocolate spread and it was fantastic.

But for me my best purchase for trail food has been my dehydrator. It cost me £30 from Westfalia and in 1 trip paid for itself.

Took instant rice and matters ins sausage too.

Don't underestimate the good old snickers bar, great food when your out and about.

Hope that is of some help

Didn't know you could still get vesta meals, wonder if you can get beanfeasts too?

Awesome, cheers for the advice everyone... and of course the entertainment on the diverse and complex subject of spam! I will take everything into account when writing up my shopping list, probably on Wednesday and I will post what I end up with.

In Asda Tesco and poundland mate.
I have never tried them before as I thought they were really bad for you and full of calories, but when I looked they. Are actually ok!!
And more to the point tasted excellent!!
Never heard of bean fest tbh but I'm gonna have a look.
Are they good?
Cheers

I would definitely recommend the "look what we found" meals, I had one for tea the other night with some boiled spuds - I think they are the best easy to cook ready meal type food you can get. It seems that vestas and beanfeasts must have improved a bit since I last had one, that was about 20 years ago. It was so bad I haven't bothered with them since.
