Hi All
The weather being as it is, theres not much to do with my N20 other than potter around with it doing things like restocking the larder - or small cupboard under the sink to be more precise.
Although food is twice as good on water than on land and the 2 rings and a grille always seems disproportionately good on a boat you can't stand up in, i am getting a bit bored of tinned curry/ chille and rice.
I like to have a stock of stuff onboard as i sometimes get impromptu opportunities to visit depending on where i am working.
Anyone got good/ innovative ideas or products for foods that can live on a shelf for a season?
My starter tip is nicking sachets of salt and pepper from McDs to keep in a sealed container.
Clive

Chez can cook the most marvelous meals on our boat , but usually with fresh ingredients.
But for standbys - Fray Bentos Pies , Tinned spuds , tinned peas , Bake at home bread (Good for 2 months normally) tinned fish , Tomato puree- Great for home made pizza snax with the bake at home rolls with cheese!
Microwave rice is good heated in a frying pan. Tinned Stewing steak type stuff is ok with mash (At a push  )
We keep a stock of emergency rations , but tend to buy fresh on our trips

Mattesons smoked sausage will store without a fridge for months. Heated in water, sliced into a packet of golden vegetable rice makes a good emergency filling supper.
Dried pasta and stir in sauce - the Dolmio one in the shallow pot with the foil lid keeps well.
Super Noodles will also keep indefinitely, but some people may not consider them actually food!!!!
Army ration packs have some good stuff in these days and can be picked up for next to nothing on ebay. Just watch the biscuits though, they are designed to bung you up!!!

We always have a few tins of beef stew/spuds/veg for those emergency moments when you just can't get to the pub in time for food, always make it for beer though....

Thanks for the replys - seems to me Adi's very kind offer for Chez to do the catering for website members is the way forward.
I might just be tough enough for army rations but definatly not up to super noodles.
Cheers

the army packs are good, there pretty high in calories, as you burn loads off on exercise,operations.so may not be good for the belly. are tasty though,
