 The Tesco's make one is ok, but i reckon it's got some additives as it upsets my tum (i've an allergy to something i cant suss, and its not bad enough to do a test and all that).
I'll try that sammy's make one next, as i dont want to risk a poor tum at a wild camp.
Unfortunately, i dont know of anywhere that does nutritious, additive free dried food, does someone else? Oh, and it's gotta be tasty.

 I usually buy my Sammys cous couse from Morrisons in Workington, or Booths in Keswick. So, if they sell it up, then you're bound to be able to find it elsewhere. Don't know about Tesco's as I don't shop there. However I have seen it in lots of health food stores.

 tdave: It may be MSG (aka flavour enhancer or e621) - I have an intolerance to it and it send my stomach loopy! I can eat some processed food but too much and thats it! If you get stomach ache after chinese food then MSG is likely to be the culprit - when MSG intolerance was first identified it was called 'chinese restaurant syndrome'. Last time I had chinese (unbeknown that I was MSG intolerant) I was on a school trip (quite a number of years ago now!) and the school took me to hospital thinking I had food poisoning!

 Had a look at the contents of the Safeways ones in my cupboard, and saw no 'horrible ingredients'. The most synthetic appeared to be hydrogenated vegetable oil, i.e. margarine. Granted, there were 'flavourings', but MSG and the like would normally be specified as 'flavour enhancer'. Other than that, it was dried vegetables and herbs.

 How about a cous cous cook up at the supermeet then Looby can try many varieties and get over her phobier :-)
Personally I make from scratch if time with garlic, sundried toms, dried chillies (rehydrated during cooking) black olives and onions.
If I'm short on time then the emergency tescos packet comes out (olive and tomato) and is enhanced.
Does anyone else remember Couc Cous the Algerian detective from Richard Scarry's busy, busy world?

 Bulghar Wheat is a very good ingredient for adding to a veggie Chilli. Adds bulk, crunch, and goodness.

A cous cous cook up sounds like a good plan to me! spent today on weston beach and popped into tesco to get dinner stuff so i braved a pot of tomato and basil cous cous and it was bearable! Still not great but processed stuff never is! I def need to try the homemade 'proper' stuff to fully convince me!

I like it with roast sweet potatoes/toms/peppers/ whatever else is lying about and a squeeze of lemon. Not ion the hills though, i can pretty much eat anything on tour but tryit with tinned toms if you can bear the weight or with sundried ones. I can see dried 'shrooms being quite good or go crazy and mix some raisins in there. I had it in morocco as well when climbing high atlas huge piles of couscous with goat mmmm....
Anyone got any indeas for quinoa? i am eating some quinoa popcorn at the mo thats quite nice.
NAtural grocery store in cheltenham is good try looking in the ecologist for good natural food shops

 Wifey cooks it and bungs it all over salads ..she's got a fixation on at the moment.
I like Aldi's Lime and Coriander version best compared to the multitude of other ones I have had to endure...

Looby, i doubt it's that, i love chinese food and feel ok after them. I get an MSG hangover off them though.
It's something like flavouring or similar that gives me nasty indigestion, nowt more serious than that.
Still, i know the chinese food aint much good for me, but they deliver, and hey, that;s too tempting.
I wonder if they'd deliver when i'm wild camping? Problem solved.
