Worst ready meal you've had.

Just tried a 'no dough' pizza - truly one of the most disgusting things I've ever tried. Has a cauliflower pizza base which I find it hard to describe....

Vesta curry, close the thread now.

Cheese in before or after microwaving

With a Rustlers, you have to toast the bun, rather than microwave.  Best to use your own condiments than rely on the meagre sachet they provide.  Hell, why not add a bit of lettuce and tomato too, and you'll have yourself a winner.  

Baldybonce

Rustler the magazine would probably taste better.

I found one in a bush in the 80s. A prophecy of sorts.

Serves you right for going to Scotland.

Andouiette in Paris.  Unknown or unmentionable animal parts in a sausage skin, and it wasn't a nice sausage skin.

If they were lumps of gristle then they were probably hardons.

My brother-in-law, who is pretty well off and has a taste for the finer things in life, loves Vesta Curry once in a while. I think it must be a childhood comfort thing?    

Anyway, 1970's school dinner curry knocks Vesta into a cocked hat...

Is there such a thing as a good ready meal? 

DamoNorthStand

Co Op ready meals tend to be the best imo.

As for the camping food, that re-enforces my view on camping in general. How is it a holiday if you are experiencing such discomfort? A holiday for me is sitting in the sun, and enjoying great food and wine, in a beautiful setting. Something you dont want to come back from..... not chewing on a dried up spag bol dreaming of the food waiting at home....
