Mors pot cooking
- Thread starter weekender
- Start date
For living in the woods without instant food, what a lot of people do is inevitably just make a soup or stew. It's a good way to make a small amount of game meat, like from a bird or rabbit, go further and become a whole meal. The aboriginal tribes also used to boil a lot of their food, even before they got metal pots.
IMHO, with non-supermarket food, like harvested game, spicy dishes, such as with curry or chiles, can make the food more palatable.
For some old school ideas, here are some free books you can download:

Mrostov,
Wow, thanks for sharing! Have downloaded all three. Am guessing they are best enjoyed by the light of a hurricane lamp while wearing a lemonsqueezer hat.

I recently tried this breakfast recipe in my Mors Pot, and very successful and tasty it was too.
Cut up two sausages and two bacon rashers, add some chopped onion and fry these in oil in the Mors pot until nicely browned.
Whisk two eggs and add them to the pot, break up some bread into small chunks and add them to the pot, cook for a while (you'll
need to judge for yourself depending upon the heat of your fire/ distance of pot from flame etc.) and when it looks not far off, add
a couple of handfuls of grated cheese on top and put back over the flames for 5 mins.
Eat and enjoy!
Cheers

I tried that breakfast recipe of yours it worked a treat, delicious the bread really added something I did fry the bread off first put it to one side then added it in with the eggs. Thanks for that one it really set me up for the day...

I've just ordered one of the 1.8litre anodised Mors Pots from four dogs for £30 delivered. I'll let you know if I get stung for import taxes.
I think you only get charged if the declared value is over £30. That is when vat/import duty etc come into play. Many cottage company's will under value things if you ask them nicely (Some do it without asking)
