Camping food again

Haven't seen or tried any yet but the Sunday paper had a piece about ready meals tesco where selling,these are so well sealed they can be kept at room temperature for 18 months there was curry,chicken something and beef in red wine £1.79 each.

These sound handy but how do you heat them up? I'm definitely not into dragging the microwave along, we take enough gear as it is.

Health benefits

Research conducted by scientists at Bordeaux University in 2007 suggested that Armagnac has health benefits,[3] finding that moderate consumption can help protect against heart disease and obesity. The research seemed to indicate that the benefits derived from its unique distillation process and aging rather than from its alcoholic content. The southwestern area of France, where Armagnac is produced, has some of the lowest cardiovascular disease rates in the world

Yes it does but I generally find I prefer my cardboard a touch soggy!

Must be the affect of age on the chewing process.

We have a jml food sealer, and on seing this post, I thought we could make up some boil in the bag meals at home and airtight seal them to take on hols in Hidehi dandy.
I realise that the food sealer is over £40 to buy but look at the saveings on food bulk buy, and camping meals, and picnic food.
So i am going to think of some recepies to convert to boil in the bag, to heat up lol.
Also the grill may work to heat up some food after takeing it out of the sealed bag that is. cook the chicken and airseal it will keep longer .

Boil in the bag Salman or other fish, serve with rice or new potatoes . Beef in gravy and herbs with new potatoes boil in the bag to heat up.

Make a stew of vege and meat of choice and vac pack it boil in bag to heat up.
