OT but relevant.

A large wholesale type place.

You need to be a member, I think about £50 a year.

You see them here and there but not a lot around.

pure con they list professions then "member of the AA" total pish...never seen such a scabby bunch of weegies in there...

the more you buy the more you use brian....I joined the Glasgow one for a few years about '95 and have rejoined for a few years since then .....buy in bulk use in bulk...anyway Costco stuff is not much cheaper and their tyres are overpriced...used to be cheap until Michelin took over.......and why pay money to save money?.......have to say as a non member you can still go to the restaurant and buy the cheap disgusting not good for you food...AND the HUGE cakes with the delicious frosting has cooking lard in the icing......that is why it is so white.....wife is a sugar craft expert

Kitchen tackle was purchased by the responsible authority although I think ours is a very basic hot only model.

Our kettle now lives on a shelf in the larder.

Porridge oats are supposed to be cooked. I find pouring boiling water on them and waiting a bit works just fine. I suspect the same would be true of powder soup.

Probably although there is little to criticise about packet soups. I am looking at the low labour/time angle.

Or two slices of Warburtons seeded bread, toasted and dunked:-)

Dirty mug just goes in the dishwasher.

I prefer my porridge with milk and use one of those cups with *porridge* to here/milk to here marks. One minute at 900watts microwave, quick stir and a second minute does the job.

Flahavans Oats best as they take out the fines. Other brands settle in the packs and lead to *boil over* issues when too many fines are in the mix:-(

So does microwaving some frozen or at least chilled soup

Ebay/Amazon have the in-cup instant soup drinks used by vending machines, usually work out about 20p each, but the portion size is quite small.

Owain

Yes but I would then be taking up fridge space controlled by others:-)

Also, with a range of packs, I can have a different soup every day.

Whoosh.

What part of Tim's "Time is what I don't have and, apart from the shopping, my lunch does not involve anyone else" didn't you get Brain Ray?

And how even is he going to heat the water for the packet soup, magic?

Is the packet soup going to be as healthy as one made from fresh veg (and the point).

Get back under yer bridge you stupid, pointless , nymshifting troll.

He bought it off T r o l l .

Hey, Squeaker Goblin, that was actually quite funny for a change!

Still, chance would suggest it had to happen sooner or later.

And the good fortune worked for both me and Brain Ray very well. He got an unused bridge and a home like yours!
