Errr.. I guess I operate at the other extreme. When we go camping - I really enjoy taking the day to cook at the campsite. I spent 10 + years In scouting and the whole Gorp and etc. will not do. Last years menušs included: Roast pork loin Garlic Lime Chicken Gilled Salmon Corn on the cob Homemade spring rolls [ a great group activity] Grilled Veggies! Bring on the Portobellošs!! Various Stir frys [ I always bring a wok or two ] Dutch oven stews Hobo Dinners Deep fried chocolate wontons Baked apples
Coming up this summer I will be trying Deep fried turkey Dutch oven bread Homemade salsas And various sangria recipies
* hot dogs are strictly banned on my camping trips

The whole Joe versus the Black Bear thread makes me curious what folks cook when camping. Me, I tend to prepare my meals at my house, stick them in tupperware (or equivalent) and then store the ready made foods in the fridge. Only have to reheat and that usually is very fast. Breakfast I tend to go for oatmeal with fruit added. Only have to heat water. I don't drink coffee, tending towards getting my caffeine from Coca-Cola, or Tea. With tea, again, all I need do is heat some water. Snacks are dried or fresh fruit, with various salted nuts for salt in the diet (Gorp or trail mix as some would call it). For extended stays I have soups (dry and canned), hot chocolate (mandatory for any camping, but especially nice in the winter). |
