Continental pasta and sauce or rice dishes are pretty good if you add to them. Bacon Carbonara, into a jiffy bag, add milk powder, Italian herbs, dehydrated mushrooms and onions (asian shelves at Woolie) dehydrated tomato and capsicum (from the dehydrator). The only thing to carry out is the jiffy bag. Cooks in about 10 minutes, either on the stove or heated and put into a cozy.

G'day guys I really enjoy the month leading up to a trip because I like to dehydrate my own food nothing beats getting into camp at the end of the day whipping out the trangy and 20 minutes later you have tacos or bolognese pretty much anything you can make with mince I can dehydrate that but the best part is watching all of that hard work culminate in other people not preparing like they should have 2-minute noodles are not dinner lol really enjoyed the episode lots of useful information a good yarn for a good morning coffee

Ha ha canned chicken.
I didn't like Aldi one, I think it was in mayo .
I told my dad and he wanted to try it, he found it cheaper at Woolworths.
I said ok try that chicken in a can and smiled 🤣.
Then told him it had a cat on the label 🤣🤣🤣
I repeated yeah dad try the cat one, we both burst out laughing.
Thanks for the memory recall and giggle.
