Bla Band says
You can't have an expedition meal range without Bolognese, it's a bit of a classic! Stuffed full of pasta, beef, tomato and lots of herbs and spicies. Bella, gustoto! (as they might say in the Dolomites). Part of the Blå Band Expedition Meal series, this meal not only tastes great but is easily prepared and filling. Can be eaten hot or cold.
Our Verdict
Staff here at UOG have found Bla Band's meals pretty tasty and easy to prepare. All you have to do is simply fill the packet up to the indicated level with hot or cold water, stir, wait a little and your ready to go! Not all food brands feature a water level indicator but we prefer they did as they are incredibly helpful.
The packaging is made from Flextrus Transofoil, which is both fully recyclable as a plastic and is designed in such a way to act as an excellent insulator, helping keep your meal hotter for longer.
There's something for everyone as Bla Band’s meals cater for people with special dietary requirements. Some of the meals are suitable for vegetarians, those with lactose intolerance and people who need their food to be gluten free.

| STAFF'S TASTE TEST - “Blå Band’s Pasta Bolognese is a classic, no-fuss option that reliably delivers the familiar taste of tomato, beef, and herbs. While it could use a touch more salt, the pasta hydrates well, creating a filling and comforting meal that feels just right for a long day outdoors.” |
