'Spicy Green peas and peanuts' May I commend?

[themoudie]

Good evening to you All,

May I commend the following snack, 'Spicy Green peas and peanuts', authentic Indian snacks, manufactured by Cofresh and available from Tesco on their 'World Foods' shelves.

Fried green peas and peanuts, with salt and chilli powder! Plenty of heat,    without the fat of peanuts alone and great if you throw a handfull into boring packet soup/meals lashed up over a Primus or at home. Boiled rice and these with a lightly boiled egg is also good. Tasty with the beer etc! 

Cofresh Snack Foods, Eastfield Enterprise Park, Lewisher Road, Leicester. LE4 9LR.

Can we have a recipe page on the 'Forum'? 

My regards, Bill.

Does Haggis and 'Neeps count as "World Foods", Bill? 

All the best,

t'other Bill.

Erm... I shall I have to enter the evil empire (Tesco) and purchase said item for an exhaustive test.

Anyone else got any good campsnack ideas/suggestions/warnings (Sainsbury's Hot curry in a can is apparently incompatible with small tents).

At rallies I often cook one of those little packet noodle meals, but first I fry up onions, carrots, etc. to bulk it out. However, following Bruce's fine example, I have recently bought a neat small pressure cooker which can produce a fully cooked stew for one in next to no time.

Not until I find a way of doing Yorkshire pudding on the petrol stove.

And before anyone mentions "Aunt Bessie" I'd remind you all that a Yorkshire pudding should neither resemble a paper hat made out of a pancake, taste like a paper hat nor explode into a thousand bits of shrapnel when prodded with a fork.

Now Haggis and Neeps sounds good and could well be possible in a pressure cooker?

Must say peanuts in food does nothing for me. Can't think of anything much worse than finding a lump of wood (usually walnut) in your salad.

Could I reccomend 'straight to wok' noodles. Fry any veg you can get your hands on, chuck in a tin of mackrel on tomato sauce, some 'straight to wok' noodles and a sachet of spicy sauce and wayhey! Chinese take out!

one of my favourite quickies is Souvlaki

get a round of Lebanese bread or any flat bread, a tin of "Stagg" * Heat the Stagg, and put it on flatbread with grated cheese and salad top off with sour cream and a garlic sauce.
Roll it up and put it in a plastic bag as it has a tendancy to drip out. If you have the time you could fry up some diced steak and skip the tinned stuff.

* Stagg is an American tinned chilli beans, meat and comes in a variety of hot ranges.

Another is a crispy bread roll with a nuked egg and bacon with BBQ sauce.
to nuke the egg, put it in a cup and a few DROPS of water. pierce yolk but dont disturb it. Add seasoning to taste, place in microwave and cover loosely with a plastic sandwich bag (or SWMBO will get narky) give it about i minute on 1/2 power, check to see if it is runny, and then add the bacon, give it full power in 10 second increments. the time changes with the egg weight and initial temp. remove a perfectly round egg and put it on roll, add hot bacon and some salad. It sounds complicated but it isn't all up it takes 2 minutes
