Think you will find they are, a lot of carpers buy ready made rigs, probably the same ones posting on social media along the lines of, I'm going to be fishing blah blah blah any tips, what swim, what bait, how many wraps.

Seems like they've got a few names behind them. Only time will tell whether theres a demand.
Anyone remember "Hooked on food" You no the one with all the scantily clad birds in there advertising. Think it was some sort of Ready meal company. Didnt seem to hang around to long..

Bejesus!
Are anglers able to think for themselves?
Is coming up with healthy food that hard?
I shop for myself, it is absolutely no problem to put food in the basket for a fishing trip. In fact I did my shopping today with that very intention.
Dried pasta, some onions, garlic, bell peppers, take your pick of colour, red, yellow green. Mushrooms, baby sweetcorn.
Dried herbs, either mixed herbs or basil, oregano and marjoram.
The hard part is the meat, a couple of pork bellies, maybe some diced beef or lamb fillet.
Boil the pasta, leave covered while stir frying the meat, add chopped onion, baby corn, mushrooms, garlic and chopped pepper and some herbs. Drain pasta, pour into pan with the rest, stir through and eat, either from the pan or onto a real plate.
One dinner, real simple, real easy, healthy. Can be perked up with a couple of slices of goats milk cheese, or even shaved parmiggiano. Or even try a country swap and go for a French roule soft cheese on the side
As for breakfast, I currently have a love of Chocolate chip brioche dunked in coffee.
Lunch, a sausage, bacon or egg roll.
I have even cooked steak, saute potatoes and mushrooms, fried obviously, but with a small amount of smoked paprika and ground black pepper added to the pan as I fry the steak.

I think that's an unfair statement and not really comparable, everyone has differing skill sets, experience and time to dedicate to the hobby. In today's world of social media, it's the easiest way of asking a question and gaining knowledge. I can tie a chod rig with my eyes closed but I hate tying rigs at home and often don't carry a kettle, as I don't use them often, I have a pack of pre tied in the bottom of the bag, it's laziness and convenience combined.
This food thing is completely different, they supply raw ingredients at a premium. You still have to cook under the guise of you wouldn't do it otherwise, it's total ********, we all go shopping, we all eat and we all cook when we go fishing for a prolonged period.
If they were supplying great fresh food in vac packed sachets that you only threw in a kettle to warm through, that would be a convenience in many ways but they're not doing anything we can't and don't already do so the idea hasn't got kegs for me.

Having someone telling you what swim, what bait and range is hardly gaining experience, finding spots and working things out for yourself and learning from your mistakes will help far more in the long run.

no one can be bothered to "learn" these days, everything has to be instant.
there are far too many carpers these and days and VERY few anglers

I don't even bother with any food in general. I'll have dinner, go out late ish, and back for the school run

Absolute joke this whole Fink Food nonsense IMO. Embarrassing that so many 'names' have been roped in to it. Everything that is wrong with carp angling right now. £45 a pot pop-ups, carp raffles ripping people off, personalised spoons (??!!) and now companies like this.
Its a no from me, I'm out

But this already exsists in the way of gusto and hello fresh, exactly the same thing. It's nothing new, it's just marketing itself towards carp anglers.

Only time I would ever get a takeaway is if a friend wants to but rarely see anyone, besides I can do a full roast on the bank with ingredients bought when shopping.
