Camping food

What do you eat when you go camping?

I have not been camping in years (school and work have interferred for the last 6+ years) but I should be graduating in about 6 weeks finally, so maybe if it is not to cool out we will be able to go camping finally.

Hot dogs and marshmellows roasted over the fire are my favourite camping treats.

:D :p

Hobo dinners. Been years and years since I made them but they always hit the spot.

What are Hobo dinners? I have never heard of them. Please elaborate...

This is an American foil version of the French En Croute. It is great, whether you use pastry or foil. Enjoy!

God, I remember when I went camping after a 6 mile hike.
We couldn't get the burner to light so we ended up eating dried pasta we were so hungry!
But we roasted marshmallows later so it was good.

anymore, I cheat. There are so many nice freeze dried items out there, I don't bother anymore. Unless cooking a whole lamb on a spit counts. But that is another thread LOL
