Bushmoot food ideas...?

[Imagedude]

Can you suggest some easy meals to prepare at the moot, preferably ones that do not require me to bring a fridge.

Haribo, Pringles with a Drambuie to follow.... Lots of Hollow calories but tasty....

Battered fish as mentioned in another thread would be good. Start cooking batches of proper chips and you won't be short of friends either.

Pasta and canned fish, or indeed anything else that comes in a can that you'd eat with pasta.

Instant mash and bacon grill, Noodles and spam, both with or without grated Italian hard cheese, noodles and pepperami, weatabix mixed with either water or powdered milk and dried fruit. Canned beans and sausages, any number of canned curry's, and I think Tescos and Sainsburys stock the look at what we found meals that many people like, also look for the small bags of bread or pizza base mix in Sainsburys, they only need water and can cook like bannock, mixing in the bag saves making a mess.

Dried food - just add hot water. Pasta and a jar of pesto ... mmm. biscuits, mints, bread in a tin (will bring to toast, if I can work out what day I'll be able to join) to see what it's like as it's a new thing for me. Back up bread mix to try the 'cook by foil' method. Onions, fresh - go with anything. Maybe a pack of long life sausage. Beans. A little rice. Packets of tuna. Tube of tomato puree. Olive oil. Salt&Pepper. Tin of syrupy sponge cake and packet soups.

Isn't there a burger van?

As a general comment about foods to all Moot-goers;

Resupply runs are common enough - if you are going, shout to anyone that might need something; catch a lift with someone else or offer a written list (with pre-payment plus a bit for fuel money) to anyone who shouts out.

We may be trialling the purchase and resale of simple vitals (milk, bread etc) but it is another task to fit into an already full list of activities for the staff - feel free to pitch and help where you can.

Meals can be a great communal social experience if several people/families/groups join in together.

We also have a hangi meal on the last evening of the general Moot (often the tuesday) but it is meant as a "taster" rather than supplying a whole meal for every camper.

Well we have a few things already for it. We have some left over Haggis that we had at our local meet in April.....cant believe it was left over though!!! ...., we have a tin of corn beef for corn beef hash, spam to have spam fritters. Other things like gravy granules and instant mash.

That will only be for a few nights so some boil in the bag meals will be thrown in as well.

Oh and sweets...plenty of snacks.

Bushwhacker - Yep there is but it is hidden well in the woods....

As the Trog said food runs are common, Tesco is only three or four mile away so whats with all this dried and canned food nonsense?

Those of you going have a great opportunity to try new recipes and swap idea's and perhaps meals with each other; your not on some hard hike where food = fuel, make your food prep a key part of the day

 

[Pandabean]

Im just not a confident cook outdoors. So keeping it simple. I can just manage bannock without turning it into a lump of coal.

Although I am will to try new things/meals and ways to cook it.

What, no trapping, snaring, fishing or foraging.

What, no trapping, snaring, fishing or foraging.

It is difficult for us to get the necessary permissions, but fishing is allowed from certain nearby beaches.
