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

Oats which were introduced to Scotland in about 600 AD, is a porridge commonly eaten for breakfast around the world. Porridge is also used in many cultures as a snack and is often eaten by athletes to fuel their performance in a variety of sports. Our Porridge with Strawberries has been cooked with oats, whole milk, cream and strawberries with some added sugar to make for the perfect breakfast. One of the most popular Expedition Foods meals, you'll be hard pressed to find a better porridge. Just add hot water, stir and wait five minutes. Enjoy anywhere in the world.

Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add up to 600ml hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5-8 minutes for the food to rehydrate.

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.

UOG Taste Test Logo  9/10
 
STAFF'S TASTE TEST - This is a 1000 calorie meal, I carried 2 packets with me as an emergency food for when I think I'm not eating enough and need to add some bulk calories. The packet says to make up with 600ml – but seemed a lot of water when I was adding it so I re-read the packet and it actually says UPTO 600ml water. So I stopped, I had added about 500ml – which was plenty – it was still quite runny. Gave it a good stir and let stand for 8min+ - absolutely lovely – great taste, all the strawberry bits float to the top so you end up eating them first, which is great but later there's none left. I had this mid afternoon but also had my usual meal the same evening. It did the trick, I felt much stronger the next day. As regards to a review I would say 9/10 for taste - but don't put all the water in, also I couldn't eat it all, I ate about 85% of it, so 850 calories for me.
