Expedition Foods says
Oats which were introduced to Scotland in about 600 AD, is a porridge commonly eaten for breakfast around the world. Porridge is also used in many cultures as a snack and is often eaten by athletes to fuel their performance in a variety of sports. Our Porridge with Blueberries has been cooked with oats, whole milk, cream and blueberries with some added sugar to make for the perfect breakfast. One of the most popular Expedition Foods meals, you'll be hard pressed to find a better porridge. Just add hot water, stir and wait five minutes. Enjoy anywhere in the world.
Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add up to 310ml hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5 minutes for the food to rehydrate.
Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer.
*The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. Do not eat.
Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - The Porridge with Blueberries is an interesting one which split our staff on the taste test. Some loved the thick consistency while it put others off. It is a very sweet meal but people generally liked the flavour with the blueberries tasting genuine too. This certainly has a unique look to it after it's been stirred for a while, leaving you looking into an interesting purple meal. |
