As a Boy Scout 40 years ago I remember the Vesta range of meals which were great In particular there was one called Chicken Supreme Does anyone know if they are still around
Arrr yes - Vesta dehydrated meals - was a staple for me as a bushwalking food/meal. I loved the Paella - that didn't actually taste anything remotely like Paella.
I remember the first time I did the OT with my father, we alternated between the Chicken Supreme and the Prawn Paella every night. They both tasted great for the first few nights. But after a while, I found that they both started tasting more and more the same, until eventually I could hardly tell which I was eating.
I remember one called Pork Italienne. The Vestas were staples in the mid to late 70s for me, along with savoury rice with the sachet of mainly MSG I think. I don't think I want to go back.
