Chicken Tikka & Rice 300g Ready to Eat, Hot or Cold, Meal Pouch Recommended for Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expeditions, Camping, Hiking, Fishing and Outdoor Adventures

Used for Duke of Edinburgh challenge! Will be buying for the next ones! They tasted better than expected even cold according to my fussy son.

These are ideal for winter hikes to get a bit of warmth into you. They taste ok but can get a bit messy. Also for what they cost the portion size is quiet small. The only advantage I can see to using the boil in the bag is you get some hot water left over to make either a tea or coffee with.

Ideal for camping trips and really good quality

I have eaten military MRE and to be honest had mixed opinions, so I was sceptical at these relatively cheap meals compared to the other mre prices. I had sausage and beans cold and was fine with them, but for this I simulated camp cooking and boiled this for 8 minutes, using the boiled water for tea . i sat to eat. the portion size is just right to fill me witout the usual post meal heavy feeling. I was dubious about the taste as most pre prepared tikka masala tend to over do the heat, but this had enough flavour to be interesting without creating acid burn. some have mentioned these are expensive, well yes they are if your eating at home, BUT if your backpacking for say a week, the weight difference between 7 of these and 7 lots of ingredients for the same meals, the limited trash to carry, the lack of pan and plate cleaning, if the worst happens then the ability to eat cold and the fact they cost at least half the price of others and a third of similar military meals makes them value for money. i have ordered more and with a shelf life of 3 years or more I Intend stocking up. update: sadly it seems these meals have spawned a monster, LOL, i decided to let my mother try them, at 86 she has a small appetite, BUT , she now sees the whole range as alternative meals for when she is peckish hungry, i was alarmed at the cost until I compared them to certain tub meals, a 7 day set of these could cost as little as £42 able to be eaten cold or heated, even microwaved at a push. ALL tasty compared to a well known pot meal to your door, where 7 days cost £40, heated eat microwave only and from personal experience tasted from bland to edible and contained similar or less. oh and have a 12 month shelf life, these have hit her spot and due to 3yr shelf life and compact size, I am going to have to bulk buy, wonder if wayfarer do bulk offers lol.

I brought this at the time of current lockdown during the Corvid pandemic, due to idiots panic buying. Extremely prompt delivery. The product is edible and would be adequate for emergencies. However, the portions r extremely small. Very bland flavour. I wouldn't say it's value for money. I'd rather shop Amazon Fresh I suppose, except currently I can't -thats a different story. Would I buy this again? Or from the Wayfayrer range? Maybe, as it's relatively cheap. Easy to cook. Apparently can b eaten cold, but I wouldn't try it.

Great for outdoor activities/ DofE

Very good to eat. I like to add a small amount of water to make the sauce thinner - I love to take these out as an emergency meal or DofE.

Happy with the purchase. Taste for 5 points. Warming up takes 10 minutes of boiling in water. You can warm up several packages at the same time, which is very convenient and economical in terms of water consumption in the campaign.
