Boil in the bag for fishing

Post by Andrew »

Talking to my wee mum and we ended up in a wee trip down memory lane. Conversation got on to those boil in the bag curries we used to get when I was little.

We used to get them a lot. Very cheap and cheerful in late 80's. didnt even know what a microwave was then, it was a big thing when one the neighbor got one.

I remember loving them though. Had chicken or beef curry, kormas, chili con carne, etc

I've not had one in so long I probably misremember and they are absolute s***e. used to love potted meat, cant pay me to eat it now 🤣

Do they even do they boil in bag curries now, seems they could be handy for extended fishing trips

I remember those frozen curry in a bag things. We used to microwave them. Think they may have come from Tesco?

Did they come with rice in a perforated bag with a 'handle' slot for fishing it out of the pan?

I cant remember a handle slot, all I remember was it being a c**t to cut them open... like a cat on a hot tin roof 😅

Self heating. I'm both intrigued by it and horrified of what's in it

Wasn’t there a guy featured in Hutchy’s Carp Strikes Back called “Boil in the Bag” because that’s what he lived on by the water?
