I picked up this company profile and link from the BBC website. They are a UK producer of high quality locally sourced meals that are in sealed pouches, with no need to refrigerate. Now that could make camping so much easier!
From the BBC story they are supplying some airlines now, and on their website they have a voucher for 75p off their meals from Sainsburys in November and December.
i dont mind camping in fact i love it but i draw the line at emergency food
if the butler does not bring my tea and toast in the morning he would be sacked !!
We use the 'look what we found' food. The Chilli is delicious . Don't see it as emergency food at all and great if just away for one night. But each to their own!
I'm wondering whether the negative comments above are from people generalising about pouch foods (i.e. the traditional ones from other suppliers), or are you (above) talking from experience of these 'Lookwhatwefound' meals specifically?
From the reviews, the BBC content, and from the literature on their website, these are being made with quality in mind, sourced from local specialists. I'm going to give them a whirl. At about £3 a meal they're not cheap but could be good for one or two nights.

Depends what your food budget is I suspect. Ours doesn't stretch to buying packet food on a regular basis. Plus OH likes to cook so processed food only really features as emergency (and last night after a long trip) food.
I think it was the chilli we had and it was very nice - the pouch is a good size for two.
They're OK and I have tried several (I like some of the Look What We Found soups) but find that they all seem to have a slightly synthetic taste. I find them most useful when we go out for the day and the kids want something warm to eat at lunchtime.
I always keep a couple in the camping box, and we take a few for those days when we may not be able to source fresh supplies.
For what you're getting, they're not that expensive (how much is a soggy sandwich from the services?) and they're not full of the rubbish that's in a lot of ready meals - they also do a gluten free range.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
