normally a ribeye from aldi, mushrooms onions and mcainnes microwave fries, they crisp up lovely in a pan.
second night normally is a tinned curry with boil in the bag rice, or ill make a stew with tinned stewwed steak and veg as mentioned below. lovely with some crusty bread.
dont bother with cooking breakfasts, just add water porridge and some fruit sees me through, lunch depends, liking those soba noodle pots, much more flavor than a pot noodle and better on the stomach as well.
ill pack the odd sleeve of biscuits or a large bag of crisps but normally they dont get eaten.

dont forget whatever you can reheat at home you can do on the bank, plus if taking a cool bag the frozen meals act as extra ice blocks.
use your imagination, i dunno about anyone else but i think cooked meals outside taste so much better.

I nearly always do a proper meal every night, along with porridge for breakfast (with water as I'm cows milk intolerant and can't be bothered to buy goats milk as it's so much more expensive).

First night is quite frequently a ready home prepared meal, a ragu (bolognese) or chilli with pasta or rice.
Next night is cooked on the bank, a stir fry with pork or lamb, onions, mushrooms, garlic and peppers, a few Italian herbs, maybe some blue goats cheese stirred into cooked pasta.

Then we go for the rump steak, onions, mushrooms and sauté potatoes.

You can cook all that on a single ring stove.

I get the Mrs to do extra chilly, curry etc and vacuumed seal them I then bung em in a boiling pot with boil In the bag rice for 20 minutes, which is as easy as can be and only a plate and fork to wash up. I have done a full roast in the cobb in the past but normally only when I have someone with me to wash up.
My son in law pre prepares toastys in cling film with all sorts of stuff in them and just does them in his toaster.

Anything but that Fink Food junk that is getting punted out. Feckin beggars belief that blokes pay their hard earned for that muck. 10 minute's in a supermarket doing a spot of shopping for healthy grub, save yourself s fortune. Would be intrigued to find the origin of where the food comes from. Especially the meat..

I could be the last to know lol
HOWEVER
just in case you dont know about it I went in Iceland`s on Tues (OAP get 10% off on tuesdays) mainly to pick up some home shopping Harry Ramsden cod ............and his chips are brilliant you can do them in the ridge monkey type toasters dont need oil

I saw what I thought would be great for my sandwich toaster on the bank Cathedral City just cheese toasties
and they had a multibuy 4 for £10 they do them in Cheese and Onion,BBQ Chicken and Cheese ,Cheese and Ham and Just Cheese
so as they are frozen they well keep well for a long weekend in my coolbag with a frozen bottle of water


PLEASE DONT BE A PLONKER AND BITCH ABOUT THE PRICE IF ITS TO RICH FOR YOU JUST SCROLL BY WE ARE NOT INTERESTED if you think its to expensive
this is just trying to help make suggestions for people that dont mind paying someone else to make them OK ?

for those that want to find out more
