Fireside grub.

[Tekeeler]

Ok so there you are it is night time and you are gathered round a lovely blaze after a hard day's bushcraft, talking merily with all your comrades about all things bushcrafty. There aren't words to describe this bit of the day, I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Anyway, I digress, what is your favourite fireside grub for this time in the evening?

My preference is GORP, the food of the bushcraft Gods. For those who don't know GORP stands for good old raisins and peanuts. Get a great big re-sealable bag and dump about a kilo of mixed nuts and raisins in it. Add m&ms of all varietys plus any other odd bits you want and shake. Bliss.

Mine used to be Sainsburys trail mix. Until they deciede that although it ALWAYS sold out it wasn't worth keeping as a stock product.:?:

It had apricots, cranberries, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, and lots of other healthy, nutritious, scrumy stuff:yumyum:

Need to find something new now...

Forget the squirel food as far as I am concerned. If there is a nice fire and it's night time then it has to be captured meat for me. It doesn't matter whether it's rabbit, venison, fish, or a whole sheep, but you can't beat meat.
On a really bad day I'd eat a baked spud.

Beachlover, I think he means just nibbles with yer drink, not a meal...:?:

Don't really do nibbles, but it sounfds like a great idea. Something to try for next time!

Sounds like another great Sainsburys plan Jak. I have the dubious honour of working for someone who works for them. Bless them tho. Tee hee. Think they blew on the embers of my yearning for getting back to the woods.

Some times you have to. Especially if there no one nearby.

<winces at implications of previous post>
I tried a mix of plain/ yog coated nuts & raisins, with a healthy dose of dried banana for good measure. Seemed to work quite well. If I could find cheap dried cranberrys I'd put them in as well, for their tartness.

For me its a few squares of Bourneville chocolate, while thinking about the day gone by and the one to come.

you can't beat mashmallows!! every kids dream of sitting round the campfire singing bizarre songs and setting your mashmallow alight. Great!! :biggthump:

glass of locally brewed 'eau de vie'

 

[jamesdevine]

Another vote of chocolate here but I prefer Milk rather then dark. I also like a nice drink of chocolate and M&Ms (peanut of course).
