  • 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
