We have decided that the 3-5 year old stock of tins needed culling, so we are taking this opportunity to eat some combinations of delicious nutricious tins and packets......
We began on Friday night with Tinned Cassoulet, Tinned Carrots, Tinned Sweetcorn, Tinned Dauphinoise Potatoes and for dessert a packet of Butterscotch Angel Delight. Hmm, yum.
Saturday saw us heading for Dover, but I got lazy, and Mrs FC was not feeling great, so we entered the Port of Pernicious Perfidy, also known as Ramsgate. Imagine our surprise when we found the place stuffed full of forumites - OR4751, Cantata and Tomahawk.
They all toddled off to town for some average fayre, but we stayed onboard and cooked up some tins......
So Saturday saw us with Tinned Haggis, Tinned New potatoes, Tinned Peas. We opened the Tinned Rice Pudding, but were too full to eat it, so we decanted it into a sealed placky container.
Following our failure to hit Dover, we managed to not hit Gravelines, but motored up the coast in sunshine to Nieupoort, where we are today, in the Air Force YC. We supplemented ration with a jar of Sardine and Tomato fish paste for lunch.
Despite having arguably the best restaurant on the North Sea, we only had a beer in the bar, and returned for yet another feast, but having to use up the last of the fresh veg.
We had Tinned Fray Bentos Steak & Ale Pie, with new potatoes and broccoli, followed by the last of the peaches and the remains of the whipping cream that was bordering on out of date.
Today is a boat fixing day, and we need more milk and bread, although we have the thermal cooker for bread, and a tin of Marvel that needs using up. Marvel is not great on Cornflakes though.
Tonight is our night off from tins, so you will see us in the Vierboote restaurant in Air Force YC. But lunch will be based around fresh bread, left over cheese from home, and the Rice Pudding.
Tomorrow, we might not arrive at Breskens, Vlissingen or Roompotsluis. We shall see.
