Outdoor camping food taste test: our favourites!
After carrying out a taste test on Adventure Food, Firepot and Wayfayrer outdoor camping meals, we had to let you know our absolute favourites! We were impressed by all the meals we tasted, we didn’t have the highest expectations of these pre-cooked packaged meals, but all of them tasted pretty good! Some were understandably better than others, everyone’s taste is different. But we didn’t find one that we thought was bad! So, here’s our verdict…
Adventure Food Fungi Pasta – 4/5
Don’t let the name deter you! This is Pasta with Cheese and Mushroom, and was actually delicious. It’s a vegetarian pasta dish with mushroom, leek, bell pepper and onion in a creamy Emmental cheese sauce. Tasting almost as good as home cooked pasta, this is a perfect comfort meal for on the go. We rated it another 4/5!
Firepot Porcini Mushroom Risotto – 5/5
The creamy arborio rice, pan-fried porcini and chestnut mushrooms in this dish offer the perfect comfort meal for your trip. Suitable for coeliacs, lactose-free diets, and vegans, this risotto is a firm favourite. This meal will warm you from the inside out, and offer the perfect end to your day. We loved it! We rate it a 5/5.
Firepot Chilli Non-Carne and Rice – 5/5
This healthy soya, chillies, kidney beans and rice combination create a classic, hearty favourite. Suitable for coeliacs, lactose-free diets and vegans, the vegan Chilli Non-Carne and rice tastes just as good, if not better, than the real thing! The spice combined with the veggies offers you a healthy, warming end to your day. We are big fans! We gave it a 5/5.
Wayfayrer Sticky Toffee Pudding – 5/5
The sticky toffee sponge pudding in a rich toffee sauce was our favourite! Tasting like its just come out of the kitchen, not a plastic pouch in a Trangia, this sticky toffee pudding gets 5 stars from us. The perfect indulgent desert to reward your hard days work! We rated it 5/5.
Whatever you try, we can guarantee you won’t be disappointed! Hopefully you get to try at least one on your outdoor adventures.
