Cooking with only a kettle?

[bristolracer]

I am having to do a bit of working away right now, and all the Hotel restaurants are shut.
I can go take away kebab/pizza/maccys etc but it gets tiresome after a couple of days

Ordinarily I would go to a Sainsburys or Morrisons and use their cafe for a slightly more rounded meal.

The Hotels are being utterly useless, trying to get a bowl and a spoon out of them last time was comical.(because covid)

So given I have access to a kettle, what can i make?
Super noodles with a can of tuna is one I can think of

Anything else I could rustle up?

Similar to a pot noddle you can get pasta in a pot, not very exciting but could liven it up with some ham or ready cooked prawns and use a bread roll for mopping up.

EDIT

Bit outside the box but can you get hold of any of the "army ration pack" kinda things as they are often self heating or boil in the bag?

Camping stove? Although I'm not sure if that would go down with the hotel...

Try and booking Air BnB / self catering places?

Freeze-dired camping meals?

On no account should you buy the Huel dried meal mixes - they are awful.

Cheap toastie machine? Ham and cheese toastie for breakfast is always good. Just watch out for smoke alarms!

13amp portable induction hobs are cheap enough. Couple of stainless camping pans and you're away.

Is there a fridge in the room? You could probably cook a pad tai you can get a meal kit from Aldi the noodles need soaking in boiling water for 10 mins add in pre cooked chicken, grated carrot, mange tout pack of coriander and a handful of cashew nuts.

Was watching some guy on Youtube cooking meals in a hotel room with an iron and kettle. He was using some foil or greaseproof paper and an iron to make toasties and cook bacon. He was also boiling eggs in a kettle.

Reminds me of a funny story about a friend of mine who worked in the new store opening team for poundland across the UK and Europe. In a contract consultation they bought out their right to claim meal allowance and gave them a set annual payment for around half the amount and they would fend for themselves. He would knock up steak dinners using a George Forman and Airfryer he would take with him when he was in the uk!

Many a student has also cooked pasta in a kettle. A concealed element kettle is really a basic self-heating pan...
