Re: Where should I get my dried beans, lentils and peas

I dont know of any asian suppermarkets near to me, can anyone recommend a asian suppermarket who might do mail order? I have just found this site 25kg of chickpea for £35 this is equal to morrisons in the uk? https://superfood-market.com/products/pu018-suma-commodities-chickpeas-25-kg?variant=123892...

Where should I get my dried beans, lentils and peas

I was kindly advised to look at dried foods like beans, lentils and peas. But where to go for best value and can I buy in bulk?
I'm also looking at dried egg on amazon 80 eggs / 1kg there are some mixxed opinions on the quality or is this just people eggspecting too much! :P

More of a hack tip

I realy like Fray Bentos pies and it shows! :D but when there is no time for the oven, I can get a similar flavour to the pastry with inexpensive noodles (im stopping using the word cheap, it taints opinion of quality) and the bacon flavouring is much more effective added to the tinned chicken in wh...

Re: Latest product best by dates

I agree better to side with caution, I dont think any of us want the last few moments to be left on a trolly in AE. I have read acidic food are the worst then mixed food cans such as stews? This leaves me questioning some beans I have in my garage that are passed their BBE although most have been re...

Just trying to get to gripps with prepping and probably underestimated quantities. I previously planned around what I ate as a kid, egg, sausage or corned beef with fried chips! looking back this only worked with plenty of bread and butter and a weekly boost of fresh meat and veg in the form of a su...

Latest product best by dates

Just read a post that mentions shopping for products can be slow trying to find items with good dates? Does anyone know a site where people share this information? Obvisly the suppermarkets will not offer this on any shopping site. example milk, having switched to UHT not just for prepping but for t...

Re: Im new & I cant think of anything to say but Hello

Noted, apart from a few packets of dried mushy peas, potato flakes and a little rice, I had not bothered with dried food. I think my first haul can be categorised as retail therapy while trying not to upset myself and my GF too much with fear mongering and mess, but now the writing is on the wall. W...
