Going for a long weekender and was curious what food people take to cook?

I have a camping grill and all the normal cooking equipment.

I usually take Super Noodles or a Pot Noodle but fancy something different and thought I get your ideas 😋

I often take a jalfrezi or.madras with rice from sainsburys
If you heat it real slow in the non stick saucepan it's come out lovely. Often only 3 quid.

I also take bananas and bio youghurysnfor breakfast. I generally can't be arsed with a fry up as mostly 24 hours. But bit will take bacon or sausages and some rolls if going longer.

Also a heinz veg soup and ready made Huel live in the van in case I stay longer or have a disaster

The tins of curry/chilli are handy and taste OK. With boil in the bag rice.

Anything you'd eat at home. No need to go down the nasty pot noodle route just because you go fishing. Batch cook and freeze if you can't be bothered with prep on the bank. Curry, chilli, stew. Anything you like.

Use the food in the order it will go off
Fish will go off quicker than chicken
Chicken will go off quicker than a steak
Etc

bacon & eggs in a roll for breakfast (usually have a late breakfast so it half counts as lunch, then a steak and salad for dinner.

usually take a pack of of nut bars or nature valley bars or something and have one with a cup of tea here and there.

or reel in and nip up tesco if ive been lucky to have one and buy myself some croissants haha

I cook in bulk and chuck extra portions in the freezer. Usually sausage or bacon baps for brekkies, some sort of pastry for lunch, chicken and mushroom usually. Next weekends dinners will be Butter chicken Curry and Beef Mechado. Unless i take my Cadac and then it will be BBQ food.
