Posh Pot Noodles - suggestions please

I expect so but I'm still not interested in eating plastic food. I'm probably not macho enough.

I'm sure you are macho enough. But the "plastic food" comment doesn't reflect some of the food that is available. You might change your mind (or not) if you tried some coq au vin avec riz:

Ah, that looks appetising!

Doubtless fresh from Neil Armstrong's backpack.

It looks appetising to me:

Ah, that's the pic I meant to put up.

How do they fit the pan in the pouch?

At that price they must be good or they wouldn't sell

I'd normally be slightly ashamed to contribute here...except I just remembered a variety of dehydrated stuffed-pasta meal I found in France in the last ten years. Astonishingly good. Not sophisticated or exotic, but really tasty and filling. It'd be perfect if I could only remember what they were called...

...little pellets about 15mm long, stuffed with some sort of rich savoury mulch in different flavours, something beefy, something else like spinach & ricotta. They were so good, I'd sometimes snack on them from the bag, driving home from the supermarket. So I doubt they needed long in a pan - a mug of boiling water would do it if you sieved them before eating.

I'll search online for the name.

So you like freeze dried food. Why the comment about Neil Armstrong?

It isn't all plastic, as you and I both point out. Some people don't like it, but there is a place for it and it would fit the OP's original criteria.

At that price they must be good or they wouldn't sell

That is why I limited them to about 15% of my freeze-dried inventory. They are good but pricey, so I had one every couple of days as a treat. Apparently one of the guys I raced against took a couple of bags of tagine d'agneau home and cooked some up for his wife, to rave reviews. She is French and loved it and still has no idea it came out of a bag.

I'm not certain like is the word...I admit I was regrettably addicted for one debased, drunken season. The ingredients did not make easy or happy reading.

Cripes! What was your usual nourriture?

I lost my appetite when I saw the price. Fine if freshly prepared in a small restaurant, but instant DIY? Non merci

Other freeze-dried brands! Lunch and dinner of freeze-dried food for a month. YUMM!

Is that why you were alone on board?

Seriously, I realise certain FD foods would fill a space in appalling weather when there's no time or steady space to cook in a way that would suggest I care about what I eat.

And as you say, the OP was asking about such occasions.

Makes me glad I never worry about weight-saving on board.

Uncle Ben's Risotto - Tomato and Herbs is a good quick meal. Surprisingly very good too.
