    I remember those ... especially the little crunchy bits left when it didn't quite soak up enough water. Disgusting things :) I didn't realise they survived into the 80's though, the last time I had one was probably mid to late 70's I think.

    Fray Bentos steak and kidney pies, on the other hand, well ....

    OP I think you're looking back with rose tinted glasses- Vesta was beyond yuck-

    However, if you still really want one, some UK supermarkets stock some

    I used to get those in the early 90s, the dehydrated meat was gank now that I remember it!

    I used to also eat those "just add water" Little Dinners.

    I ate some amount of crap before I learned to cook properly! :D

    Jesus,

    Vesta Beef Curry, the height of sophistication back then. I thought they were the business, I would probably barf if I ate one now.....I would try it though.

    I imagine it is what they use on space missions.

    You're glamourising Vista Curry- I think you've just provided them with their next marketing campaign :P
