Harvey's Duo Cans Just because Vesta stayed in business only proves the poor taste of the buying public and the addiction to convenience food. I've been cooking Indian food since 1970 and Harvey's wasn't bad at all. Proper curry in a decent sauce and rice that was as good as the stuff available in the 1960s when you couldn't buy Basmati rice it was all American easy cook and patna long grain.
Harvey's Duo Cans They were streets ahead of Vesta, for one thing they weren't dried they were ready cooked and just needed re heating like soup. I had a harvey's duo-can every week chicken curry and rice and it was superb. I wouldn't go near a Vesta a the time, as it was disgusting and nothing like a proper curry.
Nux Bar Don't think that's right. I was misled by a local petrol station who had no Picnic bars and told me Lion Bars were the same. Lion bars have no peanuts in them. Picnic Bars do. Nux bars were really like a Picnic, packed with peanuts and had toffee wafer and probably nougat in them too. They were I think a Rowntree Product that was discontinued probably around the late 1960s
