1242.3I've never been camping but I know how to grill...15469::LUBYlove them furry terroristsWed Jun 29 1988 13:0216
    
    
    	You have to have your veggies too!!
    
    	A vegetarian friend of mine and I decided to have a barbecue
    and we grilled sliced tomatoes, summer squash cut in half lengthwise,
    and corn on the cob.  The corn is grilled still in the husk and
    once the husk is quite brown the corn is done.  Then you husk it
    which tends to be a bit tricky but the corn is fantastic!!  It has
    an unusual flavor, almost tastes like meat!
    
    	Other vegies you could grill include eggplant, cucumbers (yuck),
    zuchinni, mushrooms (best if you skewer these), small onions, or
    large onion slices.
    
    	Have a good time!
1242.4DON'T FORGET BREAKFASTTWEED::D_SPENCERWed Jun 29 1988 13:166
    Before you leave, bake (or better yet, microwave) some potatoes.
    Bring the potatoes, bacon, eggs (scramble them ahead of time and
    put in airtight container).  There's nothing better than bacon,
    eggs, and hashbrowns for breakfast in the wilderness!  (don't forget
    the coffee!)
    
1242.5Shish-kabobMCIS2::CORMIERWed Jun 29 1988 13:5410
    Any Shish-kabob recipe will suffice...and with the pre-baked potatoes
    in .4 it makes a very quick, easy dinner.  Just wrap the potatoes
    in foil, throw on the coals and let them warm up.  We used to use
    the branches from a particular  tree (we called it a Peppermint
    Birch, but it may be a Black Birch) for the skewers fot toasting
    or cooking anything over a fire.  When you peel off the bark, you
    can smell peppermint!  It gives things a very subtle flavor of mint.

1242.6MOUNTAIN PIESTPVAX2::LAPLUMEThu Jul 07 1988 14:347
    Another thing to try around the campfire is Mountain Pies.
    Take some popping fresh dough and any filling of you
    choice(blueberries,strawberrries,ie) fill a square of dough with
    the filling and wrap i around a stick and roast in fire till done
    to your liking.

1242.7From an Almost VegetarianSKIVT::P_MARGOLISPaula BethFri Jul 08 1988 14:4417
    A little late, maybe but...
    
    We also went camping for the fourth.  We brought a bit of chicken,
    and $50 worth of fruits and vegetables.  Almost any kind of vegetable
    can be cooked in an open fire.  The trick is to prepare them, then
    wrap in aluminum foil.
    
    My favorite is carrots with butter, salt, pepper and mesquite
    seasoning.  Another good one is buttered cauliflower, squash, peas and red
    onions.  Then there's always grilled whole green peppers and onions,
    and corn on the cob...
    
    Our meal was supplemented with fresh caught Rainbow Trout, and
    Crayfish...YUM!!!
