Pot Casserole

Originally available in the early 1980s, Pot Casserole was an instant convenience food made of dehydrated vegetables, soya protein and flavourings, made loosely to resemble the British-style casserole.
Sold in a plastic pot and manufactured by Golden Wonder, Pot Casserole was an extension of the successful Pot Noodle and Pot Rice brands, although its appeal was not as wide as Pot Noodle and the brand began to disappear from view sometime in the late 1980s.
A Pot Casserole could be prepared by adding boiling water to the contents of the plastic pot. The dehydrated food would start to swell, and after two minutes the mixture was stirred and a small sachet of HP sauce added. After three further minutes, Pot Casserole was ready to eat. Flavours included "Beef", "Chicken" and "Lamb", all of which were suitable for vegetarians, as the "meat" was made from dried textured soya protein.
