Nans, pitta and chipatis are all unleaven breads with little or no raising agents and are easy to produce in the field with a bit of flour and baking powder. I have cooked chipatis on an upturned wok with great success......I'm starting to smell a bushcraft curry :idea:

I like the flower pot idea. Two questions though. Do you plug the holes in the bottom of the flower pot, if so with what? And excuse a dumb Yank, but what is a billy? Coffee can or something like it? Sorry that is 3 questions.

Billy is a cooking pot which hangs (via a bail arm) over your fire. It is a term poached from the Australians - la la waltzing Matilda!

As for the holes why worry with covering them, ash cakes and such are cooked on the embers and coals.

And I guess if you cont like the black crispy bits you can always scrap em off with your knife.

One question I have is how do you pack them in your bergen without breaking them? :shock:

You wear your flowerpot on your head, like Bill and Ben did.

Hmm, odd that. I'm a confirmed carnivore but cook better veggie than some friends who are veggies... :-?

"Vegetarian" - from the Native American (Indian) language.
Meaning: "...lousy hunter."
