Campers, what do you eat?

[randynewmanscat]

Brass weather calls for the one pot alter it until you get sick of it Minestrone. Very versatile dish and you can make use of dried beans and 1/2 salt ham hock resistant to spoiling and with a nice gelatinous bone to thicken and provide taste without excessive weight, if you are meatway inclined of course. I have taken a ham hock, the dried beans and a carton of decent tomato coulis on a 3 day trip and managed to find cabbage and the carrots, celery and onion for the base, a few potatoes cubed or some macaroni pads the beans out for carbs content. I mop mine up with even more carbs, a baguette.
I carry the leftovers in a zip food bag under the lid of a pannier and add something else appropriate to the flavours if I see it along the way.

If that's a rather heavy thing, screw on, with a fixed pot mount that rivals a domestic cooker, I may have the same one buried away, from my car camping days.

Very possibly is, if its weighty certainly but the simmer is nice, I made another pot rest out of alu and ditched the useless wind shield but its still not light.

Easily some of the best food ever eaten is whilst cyclecamping...Smash butties with loads of butter on springs to mind on a wet and windy traverse of the Brecon Beacons

Just no. When I am King some things that are just misdemeanours will become capital offences.

It's amazing what tastes good when you're hungry enough.. And there's limited choice.

Onion infused potato flakes, parsley rehydrated in thick mushroom soup, and tinned sardines, whilst camped in a corrie in Torridon springs to mind.

I'd probably be appalled if someone presented with me a meal like that at home.

But after a full day out, with the sun going down, it was pretty close to ambrosia

You've clearly never been 'properly' hungry, whilst having limited supplies to hand.

Truly never, I ate tempura prawns* washed down with vintage champagne on the Miage glacier and got too bladdered to acsend Mont Blanc in the early hours, there are no limited supplies in my bubble. Once I was reduced to eating christmas pudding topped with pasteurised custard after the joy of seared young venison haunch with a redcurrant and wine sauce on Christmas day by the side of Stickle Tarn, a low point as desserts go.
*freshly made batter and uncooked prawns

Pretty much anything goes on our camping trips although plenty of BBQ's, salads and very often pizza on the Uuni, even an odd Fondue if it's late enough in the season.

Well done you..

It sounds like you travel with most excellent quatermastering staff.

Exactly, nice after a long day out and to keep you warm on those cool evenings, i just hope we aren't too close to our camping neighbours when we Fondue

Tonight's dinner did, however, come in rather beautiful, biodegradable packaging.

I binned my post as the quotation went west with the dodgy touchpad. Yes fondue and raclette are really good on a long cold evening.

Did you plain roast or part poach and roast?

Just extracted the breasts and thighs.
By skinning rather than plucking.

Then fairly quickly oven roasted in olive oil, n herbs.

A local gamekeeper was culling lots of boys for some reason, so six of them ended up here.

The joy and bounty of the countryside.
