Rumour has it this guy lost 4 men on his most recent trip to get ice. And one of the bags had a head in it. If you can think of a better way to get ice, I'd like to hear it.

Quark Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Made a batch of chickpea dhal for work lunches this week. It's got me all excited for Gandhi's Flip Flop. Let the great food dreams of 2017 begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk of the local campsites it was. Brother works in a lab, sorted me some dry ice. Kept that in the one box, used another one as a 'fridge'. Had those gel packs which freeze then slowly melt in there, when they'd totally melted, back in the freezer for half hour - solid again. Took those ice cube bags too so I could fill then with water then whack that in the dry ice too. I cannot tell you how incredible it was having ice to put in my bourbon on the Sunday, plus cold ciders. I am 1000000% doing it again. Much to the delight of my mates I'm going with.

Tartan_Glasto Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Anyone noticed a place that does porridge? It's the constant run of bacon rolls in the mornings that kills me. A nice bowl of porridge would go down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chawk Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I don't understand how or why instant porridge exists. Not only are you getting ripped off, it's bad for the environment with all the unnecessary packaging. If you add hot water to normal oats you basically get the same affect. I just bring my own oats and have them with cold water and fruit at festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceetee Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Because the packet also contains powdered milk, which some people prefer to make their porridge with. All the packaging is recyclable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Most of them are also full of sugar, which may be a positive or a negative depending on your point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I just say, cold porridge does not sound appealing in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I need a new breakfast option for this year now that I can't get my three cheese/three egg omelette from WV. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Where do you camp? I usually get some fruit and yoghurt from the stall at the top of The Park and chug a couple of pints of milk from the van. The fruit's not cheap though and is really just a token gesture towards something healthy before I'm the first customer at whatever bar I'm near come 11am. Lack of decent non breakfast breakfast options is a bugbear. Can't be doing with doughy 1 rasher bacon rolls for £4 or lukewarm attempts at a "Full English." Would rather get a plate of curry or something, but almost everywhere switches to breakfast in the early hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm usually a 3-4 course brekkie guy. Yeo Valley yoghurt for £1, maybe a bit of fruit, a coffee, a pint of milk, and then maybe a crepe or something with a bit of pastry and chocolate. 45 minute to 1 hour routine. I love Glasto mornings. Followed by a shit and a shower. Starting off with a load of low quality fried food isn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Breakfast is always the one I struggle with a bit. A spinach & mushroom crepe can be a worthwhile option, but it's a little bit...meh. Will be on the prowl for better options this year. With Nal - low quality fry ups not for me. Damned if I can remember where, but I did find a banging veggie breakfast last year. None of your pretend sausages or bacon, this was avocado, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast. Lovely stuff.
