Apple-sweet
Make a hole in an apple, so the seeds are gone.
Put apple on top of a piece of tinfoil.
Then mix some sugar with cinamon.

The tinfoil prevents it from running away.
Then wrap the tinfoil around the apple.
Put it for 10-15 minutes in the fire:
Result: a nice soft apple-sauce in an appleskin!! Henriette

Spam in a can (No, not the net kind of spam ) ; a recipe for 16 yr old wannabe campers-fishermen
Take one can of spam place on nice bed of coals.
Get distracted and go fishing for ~1/2 hr.

Omlette in a bag
Break 2-3 eggs into a ziplock bag, add in your desired other 'stuff'. bacon, ham, mushrooms, sheese, etc. Squeeze all air from the bag and close the ziplock. Toss bag in dutch over of boiling water and wait until the eggs are fully cooked. A word of caution, the water level must be enough that the bag doesn't rest on the bottom and melt, or touch the sides too long. Use a stick or other utensil to stir the bags slightly to prevent that from happening. Use ziplock brand. Other brands leak and melt. For some people sensitive to the VOC's and chemicals in plastics you might want to avoid this procedure.

Wild Boar Tacos....It's best to use a front or rear quarter of a wild boar or pig. This works on other large pieces of meat, but it's perfect for Wild Boar.
1.. Go shoot a wild boar and quarter it or go to the store and buy some good pork.
2. Rub Santa Maria seasoning all over it and let it marinade for a day.
3. Start a good fire and put the "leg" directly over the fire to brown it so it looks good.
4. Add one apple, one lemon, two oranges, 1/2 can of crushed pineapple, and a beer with a needle-sized hole pointed upwards. The wrap the whole thing in 3 layers of tinfoil.
5. Make it an indirect fire now and make sure you can just barely hear the beer and juices boiling in the tinfoil.
6. Cook for 5 hours on the side you put it on.
7. Turn it over now---most of the juice will now fall out, but that's OK. Cook for one more hour.
8. Take the thing off now and put the meat in a tin pan---it will just fall off the bone.
9. Now put the meat in corn tortillas along with good cheese, red cabage, onions, and hot sauce and you have killer wild boar tacos! Wendell Mortensen /Oak View, CA
