Camp Food
Any suggestions? I`ve had most everything from rattlesnake tacos with cactus apples on the side, to beanies/weenies with Bimbo!

While we don't camp like we used to, and we have never camped in Baja, we love to cook when we camp. Dutch oven in a must. You can make really easy
cobblers. And roast meats & chicken. We like to toss potatoes wrapped in foil into the fire. Use left over potatoes & meats (and anything
else that sounds good) for a nice breakfast hash. Sausage is easier than bacon, for big groups Boy Scouts has a "Mountain Man" recipe. French toast
is also an easy camp breakfast. We also like to grill chicken, ribs, steaks, etc. Veggies grilled on skewers are good too. If you want any recipes,
let me know, the cobbler is fabulous, hubby won lots of contests with it.

we love to camp as generally try to eat what is near our camp whether it be scallops, fish, clams or goat & lamb....depending where you camp. We
buy local goodies wherever we can like the ladies empanadas, machaca, cheese, wine or whatever they make.
It is a great way to contribute to the local economy and meet the folks too not to mention having nice fresh food.
But I pack canned sardines & crackers just in case of famine.

The smell of bacon cooking on a beach is the best!
Digging Pismo clams for linguini is a close second!

Si - I enjoy sampling local tamales (Jesus Maria), fish tacos (Guer. Negro, smoked fish (Ensenada), oranges (Vizcaino), etc. As for groceries to
bring, sometimes you don't feel like cooking or the weather is bad, so nuts, cheese, dried salamie/crackers, a jar of marinated artichokes or
marinated asparagus are always good to create a nutritious meal (along with a Pacifico of course). Dried soups from Sprouts are excellent (black
bean, green pea, corn chowder), or ramen bowls, soups with ramen noodles - just boil water. Cans of chili are my standby. Buy tortillas and make
quesadillas - plain with cheese or add salsa, avocado. For breakfast, a tortilla heated and crisped in butter with cinnamon and sugar is good - or
quesadilla with cheese and egg. A tasty camp meal if you want to put forth the effort, is to make turkey gravy from the packet (add water and
simmer), make Stove Top Stuffing according to directions (add water) with a can of turkey or chicken added. When the stuffing is ready, put the
gravy on top. This makes plenty for 2 or 3 - too much for 1. The Tasty Bite India cousine meals are heat and serve, and there is pre-cooked rice in
a pouch as well. Cabbage keeps well, put some bottled salad dressing on slaw. I am usually cooking for one, so I don't make elaborate meals any
longer, and enjoy an occasional restaurant meal. Cookies, granola bars, candy, tortilla chips, cans of salsa, are staples (!). I bring oatmeal and
couscous for survival meals, but always end up bringing it home. I try to pack light with a backpacking stove or two and try not to bring too much
that will be required to be kept on ice, but for the first 3 days or so I can count on having sour cream (to make dip) (prepare cut vegetables and put
in sealed container on ice - it will keep for about 4 days - great with dip), yogurt, hamburger (start frozen).

I have stuffed Cornish game hen with wild rice, onions, mushrooms, butter and spices w/ a leetle vino blanco 'n'water in a dutch, buried it in the
fire pit and gone for the days' toodle, be it fishing, 4-wheeling, what have you... to come home to one of the most succulent meals ever. Dinty is
dandy, but the only thing that makes food tastier is the ambiance of the location.
Put on the dawg!

One of my favorite meals was just flaked/dried mashed potatoes, but we poured melted butter over them that had freshly dug Baja wild onions sauteed in
it.

I like putting together tightly sealed aluminum foil pouches containing single servings of fish filets from the day's catch, some thinly sliced
potatoes, onions and zucchini, a sprig or two of thyme or rosemary, a couple of thin slices of lemon or lime, a little knob of butter, salt and
pepper, and a splash of white wine (preferably boxed, to avoid breakage). Grill the pouches over hot coals 10-12 minutes, depending on thickness of
fish, and distribute to the crew to be opened and enjoyed with the remaining white wine.
On the other hand, if left to my own devices, I'm perfectly happy with Dennison's chili right out of the can, with a shot or two of Corralejo Reposado
and a Pacifico back. That way, you only have to clean one spoon, two if you're sharing. For breakfast, substitute Hormel corned beef hash for the chili and coffee for the Pacifico (there is no substitute for the Corralejo).

So what if you obtain some local Pismo clams, what would be a simple recipe? BBQ, steam, raw????
