What is the Quintessential Camp Food?

If there is one food that defines the vision of "camping" food what would you say it is? This week I posted my video on the food that I think fits the bill. Let's see what everyone thinks is the definitive image of camping food!


Eggs and bacon or sausage for sure
And like others a good steak. Few minutes on each side on a fire. Perfection.
 
What is your favorite rum? I know guys who are are from Cuba and they bring back rum for me when they visit their family. It's called Ritual and it's really good. When that's gone it's Pyrat.

To be the Appalachian in the room, make your own!

Meat. Potato. And Rum

I like the Zacapa selections and the aged Bacardi are really nice sippers.

Steak and chicken kabobs cooked on a grate over the campfire coals. Sometimes deer steaks cooked the same way. Also brussel sprout halves, sliced onions & potatoes, and diced garlic wrapped in foil with a half stick of butter cooked on the coals. So good.

For breakfast: eggs, bacon, peppers, hash browns cooked together in a cast iron on the coals.

New york steak and potatoes on the flat top. Bacon eggs and hash browns also.

P.S. Forgot the pancakes....

I actually haven't done rums but I have a buddy who does. I have been making meads the last couple years and it's my go to when I'm not drinking cheap beer. I'm mostly drinking cheap beer.



To change the subject, anyone on the Afghan pressure cooker train? I'm still a bushcraft backpacker at heart so I haven't bit the bullet to buy anything like that yet but it seems really interesting as a tool.
