Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

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

Created in the kitchen with tender chicken breast pieces and cooked in a traditional sauce, this recipe contains the perfect combination of spices, chilli, onions and tomatoes, served alongside white rice. The Chicken Tikka with Rice dish serves as a hearty meal away from home.

Preparation: Remove the oxygen absorber (sachet) from inside the pouch. Add 250ml of boiling water, stir the contents, and then close the bag and wait 5-8 minutes for the food to re-hydrate.

Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer. The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. Do not eat.

Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.

6/10

STAFF'S TASTE TEST - It says wait 8minutes for rehydration, some of the peas were still hard after 10 minutes. Very spicy, I like spicy food but this was hot. Although it was very spicy it didn't have much depth of flavour.
