Camp Cookery day

A group of us from Up North got together and had a Cookery Day. Here's some pictures.


the scene that greeted us. Cold and Snowy

First thing we did was dig a pit oven, light a fire in it and stack more wood and stones on top, ready for a leg of lamb.

We covered the pit with hazel sticks, moss and earth to seal it all in.

We then got a stew of pheasent, carrot, potato and onion on the go.

We then put a chicken on to roast

And panassed a trout and put this over the fire as well.

By the time we had finished all this, it was time to open the pit oven

And then have the roasted lamb with Bannok.

Looks a fantastic feast!!! Got me thinking about what to take this weekend if I manage to get out....still never made bannock so might give it a go...will look at older threads for recipes. Cooking is a huge passion of mine....and there's nothing better than cooking outside!

I dunno, there's something not quite right about stocking up in a supermarket, and driving out to the woods to cook and eat it.

It's a bit like busting for a cr@p, driving out to the woods to dig a hole to 'do it' then driving back home again - but then perhaps you blokes do do that!
;^)

Sounds fun - though not for me as I'm a vegetarian (are we allowed to use the 'v' word on this forum?).

No problem Jim, you are entitled to your opinion. I just don't agree with it. Do you only eat stuff you find in the woods when you go out? Fair play if you do, but I don't. Very little though was bought in the supermarket. It may surprise you, but we actually have inside toilets in Ireland now as well. No need to make a special journey to the woods anymore, but if that what you like to do, then go for it.
