Dumplings : The Ultimate Survival food?

[clcuckow]

Hi Ya,

WARNING THIS MIGHT BE ALCOLHOL INDUCED!!


Right I how many of you carry ready made bannock mix.

Hands up!

Hands up!

I know I do.

Well I just got the munchies and went to a quick favorite suet dumplings and I got thinking are these the ultimate survival food.

when you thing about it they are full off carbs, fat and very filling, and how easy are they to take into the field?

1 part suet (animal or veg)
2 parts self raising flour
salt and pepper to taste
water
and something to boil it in
that is it!

And as apposed to bannock all you need to do it boil them for 20-25 mins rather than working out how to bake/grill them.

I was luck for flavor in that I had some second day stew on the hod but I have done it before with just a sock cube/gravy granule's, and yes I am a carnivore but I also love them done in a mix of veg stock and cheese sauce granule's.

Brown suger
Rasins & Currants

Had a lovely stew on saturday night in the woods... with huge dumplings... perfect evening meal for a good nights sleep in the woods.

It's so long since I made or ate dumplings that I can hardly remember them.

Maybe it's time to make a few (I'm pretty sure I liked them).
