Well that time has come again, to pack my packs and force myself to go and ski....its a hard life.

But this time we are going self catering as we just love having our own space to chill out in the eve with a bottle of wine rather than sharing a hotel lounge if you are not in the mood. Hotels are great for the food and stuff but some of the rooms are small and we like a home from home with a sofa and kitchen.
So we are taking a little bit of food with us to try and keep costs down and would like some ideas for "light" meals due to our luggage limits.
We will be taking pasta, a few packets of cold meats for sarnies, cheese etc...
Got any ideas for lightweight decent meals...

And don't say Smash :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

ReadyBrek with a good dollop of Baileys and a generous helping of suitable spirit soaked raisens. Good in the morning or for an evening snack, yum.

Bacon !!
A couple of vacuum packs of decent dry cured smoked back to make up some lovely bacon baguettes, perhaps with a few fried mushroom and a dollop of brown sauce (other colours of sauce are available) - yum yum.

And at a very prosaic level a small jar/pot/bag of salt and pepper. Silly to buy big containers of these in resort, probably be some left by a previous occupant but you never know.

T bags is the other one that may be worth considering - if you drink T of course.

Enjoy Snapzzz :thumbup:

Mind you if you take everything suggested here you'll have to leave your ski gear behind and probably little Snapzzz as well :lol:

And where would the world be without bacon Andy?
