Campfire Sunday Roast

[motz]

Hey all, just had a conversation with a mate about how good Sunday Roasts are (particularly if you've not been home for ages!), and was wondering if anyone has successfully made or even attempted to make a sunday roast whilst camping?

I think it would certainly be a hard task - particularly to get everything to be done just at the right time, but would be great to see if anyone has tried...

It's not that hard... just have a look at this thread

Some of that food looked proper tasty! Makes me want a Sunday roast now.

Easy to do with a Dutch Oven or two.

You need a pan to catch the dripping fat which you then use to baste the meat (sorry if that's mentioned in the thread linked above, I didn't have time to look )

I was chatting to the owner of a camp site recently who said a couple of Christmasses ago three families booked in for Christmas Eve for a couple nights and set up an outdoor Christmas, cooking the turkey and trimmings and the rest of the stuff. I think she said they even rigged up some fairy lights...

I am with Shaggy on this one. Sprouts are little green balls of wonder and I seem to be the only person around my Christmas table that actually digs them.

A Coleman camp oven can turn out a nice roast;

haha some amazing pics guys..Graham I'm loving the mashed swede 'bush style' !

Now I know it's possible I'm going to have to give it a go in the future, like was said, all it takes is planning and preperation.... plus a little help from your friends.

Coleman oven as said, works very well and folds flat.

One of the best pieces of meat I ever cooked was done in a pit. Covered in leaves, coated with clay, plavved with some damp grass in a pit with hot rocks.

Got to admit I loved it when I had venison cooked like that.

What made it taste even better was having virtually no food for about 5 days prior to having it
