Suggestions from last year, for what to get this year:

  • warm-up Kohinoor curries (about 120?)

-> Sorted! We are getting 120 of them for half price (75p per packet). --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


  • couscous to go with curries - it's so much easier to cook than rice

-> Do people suggest to buy this in Austria? --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

-> I guess if we can. I wonder if Austrians like cous cous.... Kathryn

->How about we take a bit out with us in the first week. If we find some in Austria that's cheap we can get it and if not we can let Serena know and then bring a load more out at the start of week 2? Edvin


  • tortellini (need say 25-50% more than last year - how many did we get last year? 40? Did we get them in Austria?)

-> I personally don't know. Does anybody know? Where they from the local Aldi? --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

-> I've got a feeling last year we brought some over from the UK but also found more in Austria.--Edvin

-> Yes, we did get some in the UK (but I can't remember how many either!) but they had some in the Aldi at Bad Ischl, which is a fair drive away, but probably worth it at the beginning of expo to stock up. Kathryn


  • pesto (about 20 jars? Can we decant them into non-glass containers so don't need to carry glass up and down hill? Or buy in big plastic jars?)

-> I couldn't find any kind of pesto in plastic jars or big jars, so buying pesto in Austria and decanting it in big jars probably the best option. --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


  • NON-tomato instant soups (say 50 packets)
  • chocolate bars (but NOT too many - around 125 at base and 100 at top camp still)

-> These two from tesco/bookers? --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

-> Think we concluded that the supermarket own brand ones were actually cheaper than the bookers ones. Kathryn


  • bread making ingredients - get this in Austria?

-> Yes! Last year we did it and there was no problem with that. --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


  • nuts/sunflower seeds for adding to breakfast stuff
  • flavoured Oatsos (to go with the hundreds of plain ones we already have ... or at least raisins etc to add to plain ones)

-> These last two are AFAIK being substituted by the Dorset cereal. --Zucca 11:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
