Latest revision as of 13:31, 18 July 2012
Here is a list of food (plus a few other) things that need buying/making/sorting in the UK, in preparation for expo 2012.
The numbers assume roughly 508 expo days (from http://www.srcf.ucam.org/caving/wiki/Expo_2012/Who_and_When on 13th July). There is more info on http://www.srcf.ucam.org/caving/wiki/Expo_2008/Food, and probably other places too.
The numbers of things to buy take into account what is at basecamp and now top camp.
OllyB has his number for the Booker cash & Carry if it is needed (eg for custard, catering sized containers). For some things Asda/Tescos/Lidl/Aldi are cheaper anyway.
Purchased Food
- 190 curry meals: I decided to discount the 31 meals left at Top Camp, as they might be inedible (they contain liquid, might have frozen & burst), and be more generous with curries. They are by far the tastiest option and in all previous year apart from last one they did run out before the end of Expo. (Serena)
Planned Food
- 30 trays of flapjack to be made by Emma
- 10 trays of flapjack to be made by Serena
Top Camp Food
- 270 x flavoured oatso (or other brand) (0 at basecamp, 0 top camp)
- 80 x plain oatso (or other brand) (39 plain basecamp, 0 top camp)
- 220 x sachets instant soup (tomato always popular, get several flavour) (9 top camp, 0 basecamp)
- 240 x instant noodles (get several flavours) Asian place on Mill Rd used to be good, Aldi often good too
- make 36 trays of flapjack (1 slab top camp, 0 basecamp)
- 600 snack sized chocolate bars, supermarket own brand best (buy more if less flapjack is made)
- 8kg x instant (just add hot water) hot chocolate
- 3kg x instant custard (just add hot water) (3.5kg at basecamp)
- 130 x curry meals (17 at basecamp, 31 top camp, plus 13 TC meals, plus 24 x 3 people packets)
- 20kg couscous? (is this what you eat with the curries, is it bought in the UK?)
- ?some jars of pesto, especially if on special in Lidl - we have 30 jars from Sacla as sponsorship - Emma
- milk powder
Base Camp Food
- 2 x giant jars of Patak's curry paste (different flavours, eg balti and madras)
- peanut butter (2 large tubs from The Daily Bread, or small jars from supermarket if that is cheaper)
- tea bags (are these still bought in the UK?)
- giant size jar of mango chutney (from cash and carry)
Other Things
