A bit of handy cooking?

[Too Much Kit To Carry]

Braising steak, carrots, potatoes, onion, pomadoro tomatoes, stock cubes and a pill dispenser full of spices - I love a slow cooked stew with a woodsmoke flavour! Then longer this can be cooked over a SLOW fire in a covered pot the better, yum yum

Really looking forward to cooking this at Wayne's Sussex Meet this weekend

Hmm I tend to take some sort of instant porrige (i.e. Readybrek) pre-mixed with dried milk and sugar, just add hot water. And then dried meat like salami or chorizo (try Lidyl its cheap). Plus packet pasta 'n' sauce, bacon, pita breads, cheese, nuts and dried fruit, oh and Scotch, mustn't forget the Scotch . If im only out for the day then a flask of soup and sandwiches or a flask of stew. Yum YUM

Pancakes are your only man. You can buy pancake mix which dosent require you to add eggs and milk.

I have a mix a little similar to Bannock, but more nutritious.

1 cup of Quaker oats that you have put in a food blender and chopped into a coarse flour.
2: A bit of dried milk (or normal milk if its cool out) that is just enough to wet the mix
3: A good squirt of liquid honey

Mix all together into a stiff sticky mix, put it into a pan with no oil and flatten it out to a thicknesss of up to .5 inch.

The trick here is to cook is slow so you would have to do it on embers or use a stove if you have one. It usually cooks in about 5 minutes and the result is a slightly sweet (withough being sickening after a couple) of rubbery Pizza looking stuff. Its dry to the touch, but moist in the mouth (although a brew always helps )

I find it satiates the cravings for sweets in the afternoon when energy is flagging and since its a great mix of simple and complex carbs it will keep your energy level up for a fair few hours.

Total calories around 450-500 depending on the size of your cup

Bush Flapjack! Sounds great. I've got to try some of this.

I like those meals in a can. There are lots you can get. All day breakfast in a can, sausage, wedges and beans in a can. All it takes is it warming up.

I used to love them too, with a couple of nice big white bread rolls and butter, but I think they have changed the recipie. Ceratinly the last tins I bought had a newl label and had a saccarine after taste

Can I come on your next outing? Leg of lamb does it for me. I'll bring the wine!

For an overnight bothy experience I often go for a pasta dish. One of my regulars is; stir fry a small head of brocolli pieces in olive oil, along with a finely chopped onion. Then add pieces of salami and at the end pop in a few anchovie. Mix with the already boiled pasta and grate on some parmasan cheese. This isn't just food this is superbly prepared Scottish Bothy food!!

We need a meet moot or something half way between us to share these culinary delights Fred

Have you tried ordinary porridge oats (about 100g) mixed with a handful of dried fruit and just enough hot water to make it damp right through?
I found it on a sailing site a couple of years ago and it has become my normal breakfast and makes a nice quick snack as well.

My favourite camp breakfast is instant porrige (golden sryup flavour) with two spoons of coffee in it. Delicious!!.

Fills your belly and wakes you up, all at the same time

 

[stevec]

A quick and simple camp meal that i like as follows

2 small chorizo, fry gently in olive oil.
add passata (herbs if you wish)
simmer for a moment.
1 packet of microwaveable pasta, add to passata/chorizo sauce and simmer for a few mins, the pasta doesn't take long to cook.

sit back and enjoy.

Back in the old days, when I was a young lad, School expeditions, D of E etc, all my meals seemed to be based on corned dog, spam, boiled eggs, instant spuds, jam, margarine, oats boiled with dried milk and sugar, bread, biscuits, mint cake, peanuts and dried peas (but not all at the same time). The luxury of a good Vesta Beef Risotto came when I was about 17 and getting my own food

Instant/5 minute food gets better all the time these days, so you could say we are all spoiled for a quick meal choice. I was a supermarket manager back in the 70's and most "instant" food then was

PS
For those of you who remember "Surprise Peas", if you dry frozen petis pois, you get the same thing, they work really well
