Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.

Expedition Foods says

What could be more traditional and hearty than cottage pie, a term first used in 1791. Our Beef Cottage Pie combines potato, minced beef, carrots, onions and thyme. Use in the beautiful countryside for the perfect meal anytime of the year.

Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5 minutes for the food to rehydrate. Cold water will suffice, however the re-hydration time is much longer.

* The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. DO NOT EAT.

Our Verdict

Expedition Foods offers a good variety of main meals and desserts and a choice of serving sizes with their Regular Serving (450 kcal), High Energy Serving (800+ kcal) and Extreme Energy or Double Serving for Two (1000 kcal) ranges.

Expedition Foods provides the perfect meal for everyone from extreme athletes to campers and hikers – in fact, anyone who desires great-tasting food on the go.

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - We found the consistency of this dish to be odd. It was more like a stew than a pie with a mash topping. Of course, it is difficult to recreate a pie in dehydrated form, but we thought the small chunks of potato, which did not hydrate well, detracted from the overall experience. The flavours were nice, it was well seasoned, and the beef was tasty, though we would have liked to have seen bigger chunks of it. We recommend adding more liquid to the dish before rehydrating it, as this may help improve the consistency.
