Ideas for good ambient-stable camping meals without relying on tinned food

[millowner]

Good quality ambient stable meal ideas.
Our camping is without refrigeration and usually distant from shops - so our meals have to be either fresh veg, canned or dried.
It has got to the point that we largely have "tinned stuff" - very unpopular.
Are there any canned food solutions that don't taste like "tinned stuff".
Years ago, I recall that M&S used to sell foil trays with pasta meals in them that were ambient stable and reheated in a pan of water (a bit like a budget airline meal) - they were quite nice. M&S don't do them anymore. Does anyone know of similar.
Also, are there any online recipe/meal planners for such a camping diet?

How long are you camping for?

Freeze bacon in advance and keep in a cooler bag - for day 1 or 2. Ditto sausages.

Chorizo rings dont need to be refridgerated and massively up the flavour of things like beans from a tin.

Most cheese can be kept out of the fridge in a cooler bag. x 100 if you just buy ice once a day to keep it cold.

DH always takes jarred sausages to make hot dogs.

Gnocchi can be cooked quickly and easily and served with jarred pesto.

Eggs. DH and the kids take a lot of eggs.

What about those pouches of grains with sauce? M&S, Waitrose, Merchant Gourmet, Pataks, etc all do eg Lentil Dahl, lentils with coconut curry, Moroccan bulghar, etc. Pataks have a nice cauliflower and potato curry in a pouch. They're meant to be heated in a microwave, but could be done on a stove.

There's tinned stuff and tinned stuff.

I think M&S tinned chilli con carne is really good - it is chunks of meat rather than mince. Good with a microwave pouch of rice or tortillas.

(you can heat the microwave rice in a pan with a
dessert spoon of wate in about 2 mins)

When Lidl have Greek Week look out for their tins of aubergines and giant beans - great with cous cous.

Dried red lentils cook very fast - take a little pack of spices and make dahl and eat with microwave rice

Pouch risotto is available - add artichoke hearts from a jar? (Lidl have good ones in Spanish and Italian weeks)
