Best thing you ever cooked on the trail

[Farr Away]

Steak with marinated portabella mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash & onions. We had the makings for s'mores with us, but by the time we got through all the rest...

It was a short overnight.

Ok. So what do you believe your greatest culinary creation on the trail (or hike of your choice) to be? Anything is fair game here provided that you ate it in the end.

So far, mine would have to be box mix blueberry muffins for the technical skill and set up required to bake them and for the deliciously brown, fluffy consistency they have in the end. So delicious. Always gets a smile from my toughest critics on the trail - aka the fam.

Roasted some marshmallows. Hike On!!!

Years ago, took Bisquick and made dough. Shoved it onto the end of a green stick and roasted over a hot bed of coals until golden brown. Smothered in some cheap-azz margarine. Like I died and went to heaven.

1+ on that!

For me, it was salmon Alfredo at Russell Field Shelter one cold November. Lipton Alfredo noodle mix, pouched salmon, fresh ground black pepper, and Asagio cheese. "Must...finish...last...bite!"

Hmm, I am going to guess the question has been answered. Today it's not possible, but in Port Clinton it was a monster Blimpe Hoagie - loaded with Seafood, Mayo lettuce and tomato.... with a bun covered in black pepper and onion. I shared it with my dad as it was more than 12" and well filling.

Rest day taken in the woods.

Back in the day of Svea and Touristor Cook Kit (stacking pots).

Boiled Dinner - Cabbage, potatoes, carrots, ham, salt, pepper, chicken bullion cube.

Cooked half in the large pot, once it was mostly done, I started the rest in the smaller pot, large pot as a lid to keep it warm.

Took two (maybe more) fillings of the stove.

Fed several hikers, drove others crazy with the aroma.

Tasted GREAT!!!!!

With Jim along it had to be a great meal, with, or without food.

As a matter of fact, I believe it was.

The more the merrier!

pulled a large flat-on-one-side stone from the fire ring. built a fire around and on top of it. poured a little oil on the stone, flat side up. and broiled a ribeye in the center of the coals. did about 3 steaks this way...then built the fire up and did it again. we had some noodles or something else, too. it's easy to forget.

You lucky dog...I tried frying bacon on a flat stone and about the time it was getting done the rock exploded and threw bacon into the trees, lucky I wasn't killed.

[Johnny Thunder]

that's why you use a stone from the fire ring

[coolness]

Drybones - You WERE very fortunate!! Did you save the bacon?

Breakfast - Cafe du Monde Biegnets (used MSR fuel bottle as rolling pin and cooked in Banks Fry Bake) - powdered sugar, the works
Lunch - pears, apples and gorgonzola cheese on flatbread with olive oil
Dinner - too many to mention but massaman curry tofu over rice comes to mind
Desert - Carrot Cake on the campfire in a Banks Fry Bake comes to mind - - so do some very special brownies ;-)

[Papa D]

of course, I'm just as happy to eat Pop Tarts, Cliff Bars, Cous Cous and Mac and Cheese like everybody else too - whatever works

HairBear reminded me of a Small Mouth Bass I caught and cooked to the horror of Father son weekend... the kids loved me gutting the fish and the men were pansies. I shared it after a open fire and portable grill - the kids scarfed it without salt.
