Just tried a packet meal from Asda - 'Spaghetti with Tomato and Mozzarella
Sauce' at 52p. Its was pretty good - not overly salty like many packet foods
(Beanfeasts must be about 50 percent salt and leave me with a raging thirst!
_Why_ do manufacturers put _so_ much salt in these packet foods?). Another
plus with the Asda one is that you just bring the water to the boil, add the
packet and just keep hot for 6 mins - it doesn't need to be simmered.

Because it helps to disguise the fact that the packet contains very
little in the way of natural ingredients (and so natural flavour..)

So that they can sell more bottled water?
