Recommended tinned provisions

[PaulRainbow]

Baked beans for sure.

And with the face mask rules, safe to eat in company

 

[MADRIGAL]

Sardines, beans, and soup. And corned beef, as Poignard says above.

 

[Pye_End]

Sainsbury chicken in white sauce is good, as is M&S lamb casserole (beef is fine as well).

 

[PaulRainbow]

Careful with sweetcorn if you have a bog with joker valves

Lidl chilli.

Lidl stewed steak. Season well with salt and pepper plus a pinch of a few dried herbs. Add some tinned carrots/peas/potatoes and you have a passable stew.

Lidl meatballs in Tomato sauce, add seasoning and a pinch of herbs.

Tinned Tuna (Lidl f course)

Did i mention i shop at Lidl

Fresh veg works well too, a small pressure cooker saves a small fortune on gas.

 

[Channel Sailor]

I would add Anchovies, cannelloni beans, peas, duck confit and the similar tinned cassoulet. You need potatoes to go with the duck.

Vegetarian Lunch on my boat = Tin of beer

Vegetarian Lunch on my boat = Tin of beer

I prefer bottled bitter beer. Tastes better imho.

Lots of John West and similar rice/couscous salad mixtures with fish or lentils in sealed packets. No tin to go rusty, less weight on hikes from boat to hills etc. We also have tons of tinned fish. Good with rice, tatties, sarnies or even crackers when the seas roll.

 

[Uricanejack]

A couple of tins of Haggis.
potato’s keep well. And go well with tinned haggis.
Beans, ect.
Campbells chunky soups. Goes well with basmati rice. The ussual tinned veg. Some tinned fruit,
Rive Pudding.

 

[Adios]

Don't forget tinned veg - potatoes, carrots, peas

One can each of those plus a can of stew steak and add one sachet of this Aleva Goulash seasoning | Gulaš začin 50g makes a reasonable meal for 2 or 3. Otherwise I can't stand the school dinner taste of those canned veg.

Same place does these amazing dried beef hard salamis Gavrilović Sudzuk salami Halal | Sudžuk Halal 400g lives for a long time outside a fridge but it smells strong and needs to be sliced thin, can't just bite if off and eat it.

I like Ryvita as a very long lasting bread substitute, butter which also keeps outside a fridge and this salami or jam etc

I bought a vacuum packer but it never seems to seal well enough to hold the vacuum for more than a few days so I couldn't trust it for 'canning' purposes. Kilner jars are praised by the septics and I have repurposed old jam jars with some success and no little trepidation.

I keep a jar of Patak's curry paste handy. It keeps forever and improves tinned curry immeasurably.

I have a long life bread I bought in 2019 which is way past the sell by date, but the half I did try was still fine edible in 2020.

Sorry to hear about the poor vacuum, might have to adjust my dreams of cordon bleu.... Was it one of the aldi /lidl machines?

Make a flask of hot water and take it with you. A box of chicken cuppa soup is a must
Then just have enough for a couple of meals.
tin of stewed steak, tin of potatoes , tin of mixed veg emptied into a pan and warmed up makes a satisfying meal
Tin of spam sliced and fried with baked beans and bread makes another
Take cheese butter bread and milk with you each trip and that will get you most places
Loads of boats have masses of food which never gets used and gets chucked when the tins rust.

 

[Laysula]

Not forgetting the Scousers Chinese: Pot Noodle.

 

[Daydream believer]

Robin Knox Johnson says that a tin of veg soup ( the big chunky one) mixed with tinned meat & a tin of spuds plus a tin of any spare veg all in a pot will make a stew which can be split into enough for several meals. Just needs hotting up

 

[Clancy Moped]

Ravioli in tom sauce, particularly good if your in France, the Casino supermarket own brand is excellent.

 

[Robin]

Don’t forget the Fray bentos pie that has to live in the bottom

THAT'S PROBABLY WHERE IT CAME FROM...

 

[Daydream believer]

If you only have a 2 burner Get one of these- make sure it is this model ( the XL)- & you can chuck the frying pan. I if you look online there are loads of things you can russel up in them. From simple toasties to a full english. You can make meat pies- which come within the remit of your post- You could do corned beef hash as an example. Can do chips etc OK Toad in the hole in them as well as toast very well
But make sure it is this model if you have only a 2 burner. I started the smaller one for toasties burgers & sausages etc The largest Connect) divisioned one is far less useful on a boat
Ridge monkey XL

For a bit of variety, and not easy to find in UK, but easy if we are ever allowed abroad. ...confit duck legs and up market tinned cassoulet were very popular going transatlantic.
Also, when we had a tiny yacht, we found the omnia oven v good for roast potatoes and such like. The other thing was a cheap camping gas stove so fry ups could be done in the cockpit to prevent getting a smear of grease over the whole saloon

Most of the stuff I have on Jissel - also 24ft, also no fridge - have been mentioned, but we're quite partial to a tin of Ratatouille, Asda does a decent one. Warm it up, grate cheese over it and, if you've got one, bung it under the grill to melt & brown the cheese a bit.
