<p>For dried noodles, we generally get "<a href="http://indomie.co.uk/">Indomie</a>" brand, see <a href="../years/2017/p1040306_e.jpg">in context</a>
<p>For dried soups, Elaine says (2017) "don't get the basics ones, they are horrible. Get the own-brand one-step-up ones". But also be very careful to get the ones which are instant and not the ones which have to be cooked in a saucepan for 10 minutes - which look just the same - so read the instructions.

Any friendly asian food supplier will order ~300 curries for you, e.g. down Mill Road or Cherry Hinton High Street in Cambridge. Sophie did this in 2014. Wookey did this in 2015 when the price was about £1.05 each.

<p>We took advantage of a two-for-one offer on Ashoka curries with The Asian Cookshop in 2017 (Elliot) and 2018 (Philip S.). This is a BOGOF but the process is a bit odd: when you order N curries of flavour A, you also specify that you like flavour B; and they will then send you N curries of flavour B for free. See <a href="../years/2017/192941elliott.pdf">2017 invoice</a> and <a href="../years/2018/theasiancookshop-order.html">2018</a> invoices for examples.
In 2018 there was a time-limited offer on selected Ashoka curries from Morrisons which we took advantage of, taking up the slack with The Asian Cookshop.
<p>When buying dried noodles from Spices of India beware: when it says BOGOF it only means for the first 12 ietms of that type. So you can pay much more than you expect. For reference, Indomie dried noodles are 38p/pkt individually in Cho Mee, Mill Road and £14.99 for a box of 40 from The Asian Cookshop (i.e. 37.5p/pkt), but you do get free delivery when ordering online. This price is hard to beat.

<p>Frank brought along some vicious sailmaker's needles, a couple of sailors' pads and a reel of "Whiplash 2000" fishing braid. This was excellent for sewing on patches. To hold the patch in place, just gaffer it on and then stitch through the patch, suit and gaffer. I tried gluing first and then patching, but the glue made it harder to push the needle through and didn't really seem to be necessary when using Frank's indestructible fishing braid as thread. Smearing glue over the stitching seems to be worthwhile, although the best thing to use for that is probably Aquasure. Duncan Collis</a> 08:16, 2 June 2008 (BST)
