Review:

We've actually reviewed two other self-heating meals from different manufacturers so pretty much know what to expect from these sort of convenience foods. So how would Be-Well Expedition Foods Self-Heating Meals stack up against the competition?

Be-Well Expedition Foods sent UK Fisherman three varieties - chicken casserole, all-day breakfast and curry. The meals are simple to heat up - activate the heater by pouring the sachet of water onto the heating pad then seal the plastic bag with the heater and the meal inside. Wait 7-8 minutes, open the bag and enjoy a perfectly hot meal!

Firstly, the process is simplicity itself. These meals are ideal when you have no access to cooking facilities, such as when fishing. The first meal I tried wasn't quite as hot as I had expected, although this was probably more due to my haste to try the food which meant I hadn't really left it long enough to heat up. The second and third times I tried these self-heating meals, I left each a few minutes longer and the food was a good deal hotter.

So how were the meals in terms of taste. Well these are convenience foods and as such you cannot expect fine dining a la Gordon Ramsey. However, these meals are really very tasty. The curry had a really good flavour and hit just the right mark for my personal taste in terms of spice - not too hot, not too mild. The chicken casserole and all-day breakfast were eqully as palatable. I would much rather tuck into a proper, tasty meal when fishing, rather than relying on a couple of manky sandwiches I might have made that morning or a "heart attack on a plate" burger from the fishery burger van.

My only criticism (and this is being a bit picky) was there was no fork included in the pack, so if you have forgotten to take one with you, you may have to eat with your hands!

Self heating meals from Be-Well Expedition FoodsTo sum up, I would highly recommend Be-Well Expedition Foods Self-Heating Meals to anyone who wants a convenient, tasty hot meal in any situation where there is no access to cooking facilities.
