Top 5 items to cook in a fire.

[Partickpebbles]

Hi Heading out Friday for an overnighterand just wondered what peoples top 5 dishes are to cook on a open fire?

So far I have done:
Raikeys Chorizo and sweet potato dish which was lovely.
Jackets spuds using foil.
Chicken Curry in the tin/can.
Sausage and Beans in the can.

So as you can see its a pretty simple list of not even 5!

I fancy ago at doing a boiled egg in the embers, so will try that....

but what do others do??

Thanks in advance!

Bannock has to be the top of my list
Cottage pie using cornbeef was pretty good.
as andy2112 posted the meat and veg parcel
anything in a dutch oven turns out good!.... apart from some rusian apple pie thing.

Whole rainbow trout (PP) 1lb or so (quite cheap)
stuff cavity with sliced white onion, lemon, bayleaf, tarragon (optional)
Season with some crushed black pepper, salt.
Put in foil and splash a little white wine over fish before sealing.

Can be done at home in 10 mins, chucked on embers for 10 mins turning once.

Tastes fantastic.

Its my fathers too... he's been doing it since we where kids.

Sometimes if he caught a decent salmon/large trout he would wrap in newspaper (with the above recipie) and bang it in the oven.

Gah.. you make my campfire meals seem so boring now

I normally just do sausages and burgers

Saying that, I have only just started with this and will be testing out a lot of things this summer.

These are dead simple... Cured spanish/french sausage, mushrooms, onion, sweet red pepper, stick!

 

[Andy2112]

TBL, that looks mighty fine mate, i think the best cook up we did at one of the Midlands Meets was southern fried chicken and chips in the dutchie.

 

[Melonfish]

bear GRILLS. ehehehe
i'll get me coat..

 

[The Big Lebowski]

Yeah, Its surprisingly simple!

The mushrooms on those where amethyst deceiver and slippery jacks collected earlier that day... By someone that knows what they are doing (e.g not me )

I did see the southern fried chicken thread, looked great fun, I might have to give crispy fried aromatic duck a bash over the summer, now that would be different!
