Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.

Expedition Foods says

Mixed vegetables with rice in a lightly spicy tikka masala curry sauce.

Preparation: Remove the Oxygen Absorber (Sachet) from inside the pouch. (The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic). Add boiling water to just above line 5 (480ml), stir the contents and then close the bag and wait 5-8 minutes for the food to re-hydrate.

Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer.

Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

6/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - It says wait 8 minutes for rehydration, some of the peas were still hard after 10 minutes. Very spicy, I like spicy food but this was hot. Although it was very spicy it didn't have much depth of flavour.
