[Moonlight]

but is it really?

[Laura_Babs]

if you can afford it, eat on site!!! The food truly is amazing! I love my Glastonbury food! Anything you could possibly want is there - Jamaican, Indian, Spanish, Mexican, Italian, tea and toast, beans on toast (actually don't recall seeing beans on toast but I am sure there probably is a stall selling it!!!)

[ampersand]

YES really! You must try the Magic Rolls

Also Flaming Cactus for a fab mexican wrap.

Yummy food to be had!!

[jameshunt]

the exmoor smoked venison place (pretty much opposite to the curry place). The latter do the most incredible smoked venison wraps, very filling, incredibly tasty and surprisingly cheap.

I always find taking a big bag of green apples is a good idea, keeps your vitamin c topped up so you feel less crappy towards the end, and also keeps your teeth from feeling scummy too. Tins of mackerel in sauce can be a good idea too.

There's a lotsof great food at reasonable prices but you may want to think about a coffee first thing in the morning or even breakfast if you want to eat before you set out for the day. I find tinned 'all day breakfasts' - sausages, baked beans etc - that you can heat up in a single saucepan are really useful.

You may also want to cater for the 'midnight munchies.'

where and what?

Mac and Cheese out of a tin is great comfort food or perhaps this.....

Tasty Meal (in a tin)

Yep I think it's the same Magic Roll, and to be honest I can't remember whereabout on site it is, we only found it once and then could not locate it again for love nor money!

I had one of these little beauties on the Saturday night last year. I'm pretty sure they were in the market place that runs from the Pyramid to the Other stage (the one to the left of the Other stage as you look toward it).

I'll definately be keeping my eye out for them this year too.

I've done all options at the festival, one time just eating from the site with just snacks and cup a soups in the tent and while it was an amazing taste sensation it was expensive

The time I went and ate mainly things I'd brought I only took £40 and it fast dwindled on water and drinks ifound I ate less as I only ate if I was at the tent but I did feel bad watching people eat around me knowing I couldn't, breakfast wasn't hard though as most people around us ate at the tents on the mornings, I did go to the Hari krishna tent and had an amazing meal and a nice place to sit and if memory serves Me right it was free

This year I'm taking breakfast foods snacks and some simple foods and the stove so I can combine them all .

Some good foods I'll suggest are cup a soups - lovely to go to bed with if it's chilly

Beanfeast meals - the vegetarian packet mixes make mince and onions or bolognaise -fab with a chunk of bread

cous cous- flavoured

Pasta and sauce -- in packets

Smash -put with mince beanfeast fora hearty meal

Any sort of packet dried food is goodas it weighs less than tins

For hot drinks I usually get those packs of 10 cup drinks that you put in vending machines, you can usually get them in the pound shop. I get bovril and hot chocolate ones because I don't drink tea or coffee, they're lovely for chilly nights, and it's all measured out ready to add hot water to. Cup a soups are also lush, definately recommend them.

sexy although i won't be bringing any. i prefer to blow lots of hard earned cash on booze, food and drugs

Ooh dear no.

What you have to know is that any brand of noodles with English as its main labeling is probably substandard. Get to your local thai/japanese/korean supermarket and buy their three minute noodles. Much cheaper. Much, much, much nicer. Cup/bowl noodles are also very good.

(At home you can actually make these into a reasonably healthy dinner - grill some chicken breast, cook the noodles, chop some baby sweetcorn, spring onions, whatever you fancy. Slice chicken. Top noodles with veg and chicken. Congratulations: cheap wagamama.)

Many ideas here. The missus and I are taking a camping stove (actually the rather wonderful Kelly Kettle) as we found it hard to function without coffee. Or, as she's sat next to me as I type this and isn't above hitting me, I found it hard to function without coffee. In fact I'd be up in time for the first act of the day but would have the social skills of Captain Caveman until I'd woken up enough to be able to utter "Me like black coffee. Here money." at random stall holders.

This year we though we might have breakfast whilst waiting for me to rejoin the human race .

[chuckley]

i was thinking of the tinned food (curry/stew/beans n sausages, e.t.c) but I dont eat this stuff at home and HATE HATE HATE ready made shop meals, so im now at a loss. last year i had pancakes for brekkie with maple syrup which i found good, but wanna make some stuff, just not that tinned stuff.

on another note... will tofu keep with water changed daily?!

[bemusedpear]

I'm thinking of taking a little jar of pesto/other kinds of sauces and some pasta to make some cheap meals. I also get those asda pasta pot things and put a bit too much water in them, then dip in some bread

Stoves only really take a long time to heat up if its windy, if you try and have it in sheltered place and cover it up it shouldn't take too long. Freezing things is a good way to make them last longer, i do it with milk for my tea, makes it last a bit longer and theres always a bit defrosted to use, or if you can get them some of those little milk tubs.

A few years ago at a festival my friend brought carrots and other veg with him for a health snack, it would be quite easy to make stir frys and other things if you have the patience!

[chillax]

Thank you for ur great ideas folks!
