Boil in bag food, travelling light

[Gad-Westy]

Not sure if this is the right section for this but here goes.

I wonder if anyone has any recommendations for boil in the bag type meals for wild camping? The priority is to be able to pack as light as possible (in terms of cookware and gas) and to not have to faff around cleaning pans afterwards. So I like the idea of just boiling up a pan of water and pouring it into a packet and voila, 5 star dining (erm maybe).

I know go outdoors etc do loads of these type of things but ~£5 a pop is quite steep. Has anybody found any hidden gems along this line in Aldi, Lidl, or ethnic supermarkets or maybe mainstream supermarkets...?

Cheers folks. A few to look into already there thanks. There are actually a few of us on next trip so although there are plenty of people to do washing up, there is also either a few pans required or we'll need to keep washing between servings. Done a few of these trips before and the washing up bit is always a bit of a pain. Hence thinking of splashing out on something a little 'cleaner'. It's only really one/two nights of slumming it so gourmet is not essential.

Packet couscous and Peparami.

Pretty much exactly what I've gone for in the end. Aldi couscous, total bargain.
