Best pre packed food

[gixer]

I know many here dehydrate their own stuff, but for those those of us that don't i thought it'd be a good idea to post up the tastiest packaged dried food we've tried.

Bet dried food i've tried so far is:
Packit Gourmet Shepherd's Cottage Pie

+
Really tasty, good consistency, instructions say 10mins to rehydrate needs at least 15 i recon.

-
It's a bit spicy for those that have a more delicate stomach and there were a couple of pieces of meat was a bit fatty/chewy which i know adds flavour but i'm not a fan of fatty meat.

It they were cheaper i'd happy buy a few to keep in the house for the odd times i can't be arsed to cook properly.

Might also be worth mentioning that by far the worst i've eaten is the Trek'N Eat Chana Masala the sauce wasn't bad but the texture and ingredients used was terrible to eat

Another PG fan here, but then you already knew that

I only use mountain house if i buy premade and ive whittled it down to chicken tikka with rice. Very tasty.

 

[edh]

The best I've had is MH Beef Stroganoff (US version, not the EU one).

Something nice bought from a shop in Lone Pine, Ca (a risotto mix)..

PG is on the 'must try' list.

 

[Shewie]

Oh yeah, the Real Turmat Chicken Tikka was really good too, the only RT meal I've tried but I'd like to sample of few more

 

[edh]

Forgot those - has a fair few and the Wolf fish one was the only thing that I did not care much for.

[EM - paul]

If it's a specific meal then it's going to be PG, and it's 50/50 on Big Easy Gumbo vs Dotties Chicken stew and dumplings

Breakfast - Quaker - oats
Lunch - Batchelors - Super noodles (supermarket brands as good)

Has anyone used Adventure Foods?

Has anyone used Adventure Foods?

Yeah I quite like them, the cashew nut is my favourite so far from the ones I've tried.

I had a dodgy beef one though, not sure which one it was but it had lumps of what looked like dried dog food which never really rehydrated.

 

[racer66]

Thanks, I was just looking at prices of things, and they seem slightly cheaper than most currently on sale at Go_outdoors,,,

 

[WilliamC]

Has anyone used Adventure Foods?

Yes. The ones I've tried have been decent. The curry is rather bland, but I like their spaghetti carbonara. I also really like their hotpot, but I think that might be a very personal thing - it contains mashed potato and comes out as a sort of mushy, tasty comfort food gloop.

Neither of which i ordered

http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/farmers-omelette-breakfast-p216450
http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/goulash-p216460

Were the ones I was thinking of. even with a trip to Go its maybe worth it, compared to the ave of £5 + a pack for MH etc?

 

[edh]

Now if anyone likes the Adventure Foods Goulash (I've three packs) and want's to swap then for something else.....or make a donation to some cause (that's not me )....

Not my favourite - although I have enjoyed lots of their pasta-based dishes; found those good.

 

[WilliamC]

Ah, yes, Goulash. It's pretty similar to the hotpot I mentioned above but with different spices. I like it, but it some might be put off by the texture. The Satay is nice but I find it needs a bit of your own soy sauce and spices adding to it to boost it. I do prefer strong flavours though.

 

[racer66]

Ok thanks, seems to tally with other peoples view of Adventure Foods.

On another not, I kept looking and found these made by Voyager Food, france
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Instant-Out...=1424029178&sr=8-1&keywords=VOYAGER+Nutrition

Seemed a good deal at £55 for x15 mains & x15 muesli

Extreme food, porridge with strawberry disappointing to say the least , Mountain House Eggs and bacon like eating bacon flavored sawdust,
