MeatHeads Start Up Pack

Four 100g pouches: Porktopia for pork, Blazin' Grazin for beef, Rambo for lamb and Bok Boken for chicken. Four hundred grams of seasoning in total, covering the four meats most households cook regularly.

Compare the figures further up this page — they are worked out live from this listing and from a single-pouch listing, so they reflect today's prices rather than what was true when the page was written. Bear in mind that a pack is only a saving on the pouches you would have bought anyway.

There is no fish blend, no vegetable blend and no Tex-Mex blend in this pack. Those are Donkey, Spudhead and Texican, sold as single pouches and included in the larger packs.

It is the smallest of the boxed sets, which makes it the easiest one to give without over-committing on someone else's behalf. A boxed four is a better object than four loose pouches, and that is a real part of what a pack is for.

Entirely down to how much you cook. As a rough guide, a rack of ribs or a leg of lamb takes two to three tablespoons and a pouch holds around twelve. A dry blend does not spoil quickly but it does fade, so buy what you will get through rather than the biggest box.

Count the blends you would genuinely use. If it is four, this is the pack. If you also cook fish, vegetables or Tex-Mex, the larger packs include those and the per-pouch figures are worth comparing across all of them.

Sealed, cool, dry and away from the stove, with the air pressed out of each pouch and the zip cleared of powder so it closes properly. Open one at a time rather than having four on the go.

Yes. Every blend in this pack is also sold as an individual 100g pouch, and two of them are also sold in tins.

The ingredient and allergen statement printed on the pack is the only answer to that, and it is the maker's to give. This listing does not publish an ingredient list, and anything the seller's own description says about what the blend contains or is free of is their statement rather than ours. If you are avoiding an allergen, read the pack and ask the maker if anything is unclear.
