Alone now.
I just got this in an email from a friend. Looks easy and tasty so I might have to try this. Besides what can go wrong with a hot ham and cheese.?? :)

Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Serves: 6
Easy pull-apart sandwich cooked on the barbeque or campfire!
Ingredients

1 loaf French or Italian bread
1⁄4 cup butter, softened
1 tbsp. mustard
6 Kraft Cracker Barrel Swiss Cheese slices (I prefer mature Cheddar cheese)
6 slices deli ham

Instructions
1. Cut twelve slices into loaf of bread, stopping about 1⁄4 inch before the bottom.

2. Mix together butter and mustard until combined. Spread every other cut with the butter/mustard mixture.

3. Stuff one slice of cheese and one slice of meat into buttered slices to create six sandwiches.

4. Wrap loaf in large sheet of greased foil to create a foil packet. Place on barbeque or campfire and cook at a
medium heat for about twenty to thirty minutes, turning loaf every five to ten minutes.

5. Carefully open foil packet, pull apart sandwiches and serve.

I'm all for quick, filling, tasty, sarnies in the field (or back garden :))

So simple it's brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

I think I'm going to have to try it with a bottle of wine.

Nice.

We do something similar with shop bought garlic bread and some nice mushrooms.

The frozen "harvester" type (granary) that Morrisons sell work parcticularly well when semi defrosted :p

as would chorizo, i imagine

Do that with raw potatoes, stopping 1/4" before the bottom, 1/4" thick slices.
Smear the cuts with garlic butter, S&P and bake.

Quick snack version, take a flat bread of some sort, shave some cheese on to it, add ham or salami, fold in half, heat in skillet on fire. Fast and tasty.

yep, i do that with tortilla wraps and naan breads. As long as you've got some cheese in there you can just chuck whatever else you've got in and its great

A more bushy version i do is bannock with smash and some ground up parmesan in the middle

Though not a fan of using tinfoil when away you can do this one in foil or something like a Dutchy.
Get/make an unsliced loaf of bread - something round is easier. Slice off a lid & scoop out most of the innards.
Get a tin of mushroom soup (condensed stuff is best, if you can stll get Campbells ®) Mix in a tin of tuna, some cheese an some of the removed bread. (Plus any leaves, fungi or whatever you've foraged.) You can add some cream if you have it, and any seasoning you may like; smoked paprika is pretty nice.
Put the mix inside the hollowed loaf, pop lix back on and heat through either in foil on the embers or in a pot/oven.
Makes a quick filling tasty meal for a few folk or one or two if you're big chaps.
