i have to say mine would have to be a good old pot of stew, warms my belly up befor I go to sleep in the hammock. my nan used to say "it will put hairs on your chest son & make you grow big and strong" you dont get it when your a kid but she was telling the truth.

Spag bog....
Had it many times on camp (mainly scouting related) easy to cook and goes down well with most scouts.

Versatile too, meat doesn't have to be beef.....
Had it with lamb... Quorn (about the only edible dish that can be made from quorn) even tried it once with diced rabbit (was very tasty)

I'm with you on the stew mb, or maybe a curry for a bit of variety

Bacon and sausage sarnies for breaky or choc porridge

I just came back from the hunt camp today; a few nights ago we deep-fried a 17 pound wild turkey in 5 gallons of vegetable oil.
It took about an hour and it came out done to perfection. A highly recommended camp meal.

I have been fortunate , to have partaken in the cuban pork 10 hour extravaganza, courtesy of TBL and its my fav too !

Hangi leg of lamb aint bad either .

And of course all forms of stew/casserole. In particular TBL's mutton cawl .

The above all relate to numbers cooking , but if alone good old fry up. Most forms of bannock.

Deffo not beanfeast ! you will stink the camp out !!

Slow cooked Thai style stewed beef served with Noodles and a chilli and lime dipping sauce. Or Potato and green vegetable frittata, with bannock and crispy fried onions. The Thai style stewed beef take 4 hours to cook, but is worth the wait. the Frittata take half an hour max, and is heaven in a frying pan

Two of mine are Thai Green Curry with Chicken and Prawns with rice or a Goulash with Dumplings. The Goulash is enhanced with a spicy Czech sausage, best I ever tasted, depending if anyone has some at the time at camp.

All made in cast iron Dutch Ovens.

I know if your hungry that any food is bliss, but if not does anything put you right off a nice meal?

Mine is carrots in a stew/casserole. Hate them with a passion unless chopped fine enough to not see them!

Love raw or roasted carrots though, weird eh?
