2005 British Menu G Pasta and Meatballs meal

Post by Garron » Thu Jun 23, 2016 6:20 am

From one of the old style packs dated 2005, this was always a favourite of mine and always looked out for Menu G packets to take on camping trips.

These have been stored in decent conditions since, the temp hasn't varied much and I from what I remember there is roughly 10 year life expectancy on the meals but it was as good as the day it was made.

After 15 minutes in boiling water

Its mostly meatballs, ratio seems a little off, probably 1 meatball for 2 little pasta shells,
The sauce has a nice tomato and basil flavour, meatballs are firm, pasta is soft and mushy which is what you expect.
Overall its still good and just as good as remember on camping trips.
