Bla Band says
A favourite with some of our guys, this hearty stew is the very thing for the end of a long day. Stuffed with lots of rice and vegetables with beef, reindeer venison and mushrooms. Very nice! 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 Wilderness Stew with Rice is a hearty, savoury dish that combines well-seasoned beef, reindeer, and mushrooms in a creamy base with just the right amount of pepper. The mix of tender meat, rice, and vegetables offers a filling, satisfying meal to look forward to after a long days hiking. Though some might find the meat a touch chewy, the overall flavour is rich and unexpectedly creamy, making it a pleasant surprise for those who don’t usually go for stew.” |
