Wayfayrer Gets Hot And Spicy

The guys at Wayfayrer Foods have taken consumer opinion on board with the launch of their latest main meal, Chicken Tikka Masala.

The company conducted both consumer and retailer research to decide on the recipe and even tested it on journalist, yep, we were collared and force fed at one of last year's trade shows, and the result was a resounding vote in favour of Britain's favourite curry.

Like other Wayfayrer meals, the latest recipe comes in a sealed foil sachet and can either be boiled in the bag or opened and heated direct in a pan. You can also, should you be that way inclined, eat it cold.

Alongside the curry, there's also a new Pilau rice accompaniment which goes some way to addressing crticisms that previous Wayfayrer meals have been short on carbohydrate.

As usual the Wayfayer meal is relatively weighty - 540 grammes is the combined total for rice and curry - compared to dehydrated options, so it's never likely to make it onto an ultra-lightweight backpacking menu. On the plus side though, it's reasonably tasty and very quick and easy to prepare - you can eat it direct from the sachet if that's your thing.

We have some for test, but we haven't eaten it yet. Update to follow once we have.
