Campfire Recipes

[snugglestruggle]

Ears of corn is another thing that travels well and is easy to cook by the campfire. Cook in the husk , peel and eat. It even has it's own handle and it's vegetarian friendly.

A big pot, some water, and one or two or three of these.

Great beach food.

We do the corn cobs in the husk on the fire along with potatoes & onions wrapped in tin foil and lots of kabob varieties.

For a treat that strays from smores and can be even tastier, a couple oatmeal cookies with apple sauce between, wrapped in foil and cooked till soft on the fire. It's a yummy cheat for "apple pie".

Riles that oatmeal cookie snack sounds really good. I'm going to try that tomorrow.

Roo Tail Stew

Brown 2 roo tail butts in a little oil in heated cast iron pot (on coals, not flame).
Add following chopped veges- 2 onions, 3 carrots, 3 stalks celery, 4 cloves garlic.
Stir veges and meat till you think they're brown enough.
Add the following - 4 sprigs bruised rosemary, a spoon or two of mustard, a good slosh of worcestershire sauce, 2 vege stock cubes, a little red wine if you want to, a decent sprinkle of peppercorns and a dash of salt.
Add enough water to cover everything, put the lid on, and walk away for a while (maybe have a beer at this point.)
Whenever you remember, go check and make sure there's still enough heat and liquid, give the pot a stir or two, and check to see if the meat is falling off the bone.
When the meat is soft enough, take it off the bone and put the meat back in the pot for another half hour or so.
There you go! Only takes about 4 hours....
Serve with fresh-cooked damper and a coldie

Roo Tail is this the famous bush tucker we have heard about?

Beaver Tails too. Ox Tail soup is served in fancy French restaurants.

The famous tucker is the damper. Many people think they know how to make it, but very few actually produce an edible one.
Roo tail stew is a concoction made of whatever you want to throw in the pot as all veges and seasonings are versatile. The only compulsory ingredient is the tail*.

*Always ensure to roo is completely dead before removing the tail. Those fuckers'll gut you like a fish!

Step one: Line your campfire with limestone rocks...

Hooky House Bean Soup. Super easy and very good. It's smoked sausage, kidney beans and potatoes. Slice the sausage, cube the potatoes and put in a pot. Hang it above the fire and let cook for a long time. Once the potatoes are cooked it is done and surprisingly delicious.

sounds wonderful. i have all of this at the house, and can easily bring it along.

Even in the bush I'm a food porn whore, I'm the only guy that goes camping and GAINS weight, and I portage all my crap in.

Frozen steaks will keep for almost three days, why complicate things, rib eye, Tbone, shit even strips you get cheap will have everybody quiet, watching, salivating.

As an added bonus, bring an old school Jiffy Pop or two. Embers only, open flame will burn, but shaking & smelling the tinfoil bubble will almost be the highlight of the trip.

jiffy pop! i am pulling frozen meats. my favorite part of camping is the cooking.

I think you grabbed the wrong toy bag.

you're thinking of my pillowcase!

drop one or two cut up rabbits in a dutch oven with a cup of water and a package of dry onion soup. Simmer on low coals for about 1 hour or until meat is tender. Bisquick mixed thick turn into drop biscuits or dumplings when placed on top of the rabbit.

this would mean catching a rabbit. poor bunny. do you save the skins for slippers?

You have to do more than catch him. The leather is a little thin for footwear. You can buy bunny in many grocery stores. Nice fried up in butter. It's a game meat an has a tendency to leanness (read dry).

Just apples themselves bake in tinfoil. Go to sauce real quick if over baked. Pears are good grilled.

If you have ice for drinks than meats can be kept. Always leery about meats. We only went back in every 7 days. Beer was warm and bacon suspect. Time for civilization for a bit.

Fire is not good on cooking pots. Have old ones or special bought.

Most rocks can be used for fire pit but MUST be dry. They explode sometimes if taken from a streambed, even if it looks high and dry. It's the water in them. Otherwise your safe.

Neci, your camping trip is starting to sound like an expedition just from the food talk. You might need one of these
