PG, does the milk taste any different if you freeze it?

---

No! But it can be slightly more yellow in colour whilst frozen.

Half frozen bottle of milk, take a little out, add some milk shake syrup or powder and shake like crazy. (Put top on again, yeeessss...) and have instant milk shake slushes. We do this at home too.

As to pancakes I bought some of these bottles of instant pancake mix that you just add milk to...they were 10p a bottle in my local Tesco after Pancake Day. Bit of a cheat but they make a good pud.

I do fancy pancakes - a non stick frying pan has been on my list for the last few years and just never got round to it.. Its bad enough cooking bacon in my 'stick' frying pan and then trying to clean it!  Might go get one this weekend then I too can have lovely pancakes!!! .. might try the milkshake slush too - the kids would love that!

Hi wenpip,

I don't find the freezing process alters the taste of anything we take camping. Obviously fresh veg alters in texture, so if you are going to take frozen veg, make sure you blanch it or sautee it lightly before freezing. There's no reason why your onions, garlic, peppers etc couldn't be sauteed first, frozen, and then tipped into your pan to start your stew etc on site :)

The condensation caused inside the cold box/bag can be an issue for some items, for instance, I wouldn't keep bread or cakes in there. (but then, I wouldn't at home either)

Don't be too afraid of the lack of refridgeration. We lived for centuries without it. Most fruit and veg can take a few days of not being in the fridge.

I lose weight on holidays too but I don't think it's related to my food intake but more the extra activity and all that fresh air.

I lose weight on holiday too. I think it's because we don't take the bisuit tin or chocolate bars.

Our eating habits are totally different while we're away. I cook a full English at around 9, and then we don't usually eat till the evening. If we have anything during the day, it'll only be a small snack, unless I get a cream tea craving.

With a little bit of thought you can eat as normally as you would at home.

But why would you want to? You're on holiday, after all.

*Cough*, I have been known to have Tesco deliver to a campsite. You need to make sure you get a slot when you will be there and all set-up but hey ho beats shopping in person.

I've never bothered, because we generally eat out, but I think it's a great idea. When we were at Three Cliffs Bay, we saw a Tesco van drive on site and head for a camper van. We think he'd delivered there before, as he knew exactly where to go and there were 3 rows of them!
