Be-Well Meals
Be-Well supply freeze-dried meals and other foodstuffs to a number of major expeditions. Their products are used and endorsed by the explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, perhaps most famous for his incredible journeys in Antarctica.
Be-Well Pack 'n' Go meals are all of the "cook in the pouch" type: simply add boiling water up to the indicated fill line, close the pouch and wait for 8 minutes. The prices are very competitive: ideal if your budget is stretched!
In our taste-testing, the Thai Vegetables with Rice went down well as a vegetarian option (oriental-flavoured mildly spicy rice with peas, red pepper, mushroom, onion and vegetable protein) and Chicken Vegetable Pasta (pasta tubes with chicken, peas, red pepper and mushroom in a mild creamy sauce) has good flavours.
Porridge with Sultanas (a traditional oat porridge with sultanas added) and Hot Cereal Start with Sultanas (which includes wheat and is a bit sweeter than the porridge) provide tasty and economical hot breakfasts.
