Cup a soups

[Searush]

If it had chunks of cake in it I think that would be great!

A new product I think.... Custard cups!

With different flavours of cakes bits...

Spotted dick.
Jam rolly polly.

....

Good idea!

Jamaican Ginger cake lumps in hot custard - a long time family camping/ boating stalwart. Still can't drink it, you need a spoon, so it's back to using 2 hands again.

Why do they taste like **** at home, but transform themselves to an ambrosial nectar on a boat?

Cold and appetite can make even cardboard taste good !!!!

 

[OGITD]

Well …. I am surprised!

No one mentioned 'Mug Shots'.

Flavours to accommodate most peoples tastes and doesn’t look or taste like ‘vomit’. Also they're easy to stow, have a good shelf-life and are great as a warming snack ... & almost part of my essential kit-list.

I can't cope with Big Soup on rougher passages as it looks too much like vomit.

Funny you should say that. Many years ago a medical colleague carried out an evaluation of portable suction devices, and needed something closely resembling vomitus to use in his study. Heinz Big Soup was selected...

And dont forget the Pot Noodles.......... **** at home but great hot snack on the boat......

I do draw the line at Pot Noodles, vile anywhere.

Stowage

LS …. At a guess we could probably stow six Mug-Shots to one Pot-Noodle.

Those look good, but looking around on the site I'd prefer the Naked Noodles

Beef SuperNoodles with an Oxtail cup-a-soup to thicken it up makes for a quick, hot, tasty and probably non-nutritious meal. You have to get the water quantity right to make sure it is the right viscosity, though.

Pots of instant porrige are the real thing. Wilko's flog'em. The instant soups (and tinned for that matter) but the salt content is horrendous and leaves me with a raging thirst.

You'd might be surprised who appreciates cup-a-soup - here...

Older readers of Yachting Monthly will remember Des Sleightholme. He always sang the praises of something called a 'pig's snout'. I don't have the recipe but it was a pudding cooked in an enamel mug. Anyone know what was in it?

Also Bill Tilman spoke of 'a good duff'. I've always imagined it was something similar.

Isn't that a plum duff? A thing whose main ingredient is lard iirc?

Fat, flour, a bit of sugar, and dried fruit, I think. I'd go for suet over lard but I dare say either would work.

Of course, thanks.

Here's a traditional recipe which seems OK but potentially messy:

Or something a bit more fancy - there are bits you could leave out, though

Mmm, feeling hungry already.

Getting back to soup... we now have the little sachets of Heinz tomato soup as a replacement to powder soups. They are much better but you need a biggish mug or there's too little water to fully dilute it.

Had an oxtail cupa soup with a cheese roll before playing chicken with the harbour light yesterday.

No mentions for the pot noodle, though some have alluded to the home made version. I can consume one of them with one hand, so long as its sufficiently cooled.

Custard Cups on the other hand sound wonderful but the elements already exist. You can buy lovely, delicious Ambrosia Cream Custard in a tin or plastic tub; coupled with some Jamaica Cake, and your away.

That means nothing. Stand in the queue at a supermarket and spot the people with trays of pre-prepared mashed potato or a double baked potato with cheese.
Potatoes and cheese already exist.

Pot Noodles were mentioned. Didn't seem popular.
