So we're planning on going camping tomorrow.
And obvs, we'll have the good ole hot dogs, s'mores, and sandwiches, and fruit and trout like that, but what else is there?
I need ideas for new things. I'll probably do whole wheat turkey wraps with hummus, but I want other ideas too!
We haven't found where we're going yet, so idk if there will be grills- just fire pits .. I mean. I know there mist likely will be, but I'm not gonna wanna grill really. Too hot.
Besides hot dogs and marshmallows and sandwiches, chips, tortilla chips and a salsa/cheese mix
Bacon, potatoes, and eggs for the camp fire breakfast - usually we would forage for wild berries, go clam digging in the shore and maybe fish as well.
ooooo clam digging sounds amazing.. I want to do this.
I was angling more for like stuff that could be cooked over an open flame without use of pots & pans.. Like kebabs .
And no cook lunch stuff besides sandwiches and chips..
TINFOIL DINNERS AAAAAAH
Tinfoil dinners are the best. Make them before you go - chop up chicken, beef, pork, whatever you like, chop up a bunch of vegetables or buy frozen vegetables at the store (potatoes are a must!). Throw them all together with some spices and seasonings and roll them up into a big piece of tinfoil, then pack the tinfoils so you don't have to lug a bunch of extra food there. Leave them in the fire coals for an hour or so and eat! They are amazing, and I love tinfoil dinners while camping.
You can also do it with breakfast foods - let your seasoned potatoes/hash browns and sausage/bacon cook for 45 minutes/an hour, and then crack a couple of eggs in there and let it cook for a little bit longer. For desserts, chop up either some apples or pears (or both) and dump a bunch of cinnamon and sugar in there and let them bake. So yummy!
Double-wrap your tinfoil, though. Don't forget.
30 Delicious Tin Foil Dinners
Unless you are confident your grill has sufficient heat/size dont bring long bacon on a camping trip. It's more trouble than it's worth cooking 20 pieces of bacon on a portable stove in a frying pan that can only fit 2-3 slices at a time or trying to cook it on a campfire grill that wont be hot enough without making a massive fire.
I like to take Sausages (especially honey flavoured sausages), burgers (raw patties, egg, cheese, bread) as well as a bunch of canned stews. I also take Museli Bars for driving snacks and breakfast.
I can never be bothered with cooking stuff.
1 loaf of bread
1 packet of wafer thin turkey ham
1 packet of salami or pepperoni
1 packet of light cheese slices
1 squirty thing of brown or bbq sauce
I just assemble a sandwich out of that lot as and when I feel like it.
Couple of bits of fruit as well
Breakfast biscuits for the morning
Beer.
omg that tinfoil business sounds amazing.
Seriously, soooo good. Get a massive bottle of Johnny's Season Salt and just shake shake shake it in there before you close it up.Quote:
