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

Subject: What do you cook when camping?

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).
