Shari asks:

+AD4-Speaking of which, perhaps those experts still at home/on this list may
tell me
what is their favorite recipe(s) to use when cooking out of doors?  the
feast in
july is going to be outdoors, for my entire house (about 35 people) and I
have
access to grocery stores (read:small town, 160 people) about 10 min from
site. +ADw-

The easiest thing to cook outdoors for your carnivorous friends would be a
Hunter's Stew. It has different names in different cultures, but basicly,
all they'd do is take the days catch, whatever it might be- birds or game,
throw it in a pot and boil it until it was tender. While you might not have
access to wild game, you could try, say, a leg of lamb, a chunk of pork,
another of beef, a couple of chickens, maybe a duck or a rabbit, and so
forth- sort of a carnivore's bouillibaisse +ADs--)

The other option in roasting your chosen meats over a fire, which is easy
enough to do if you're experienced with grilling outside- just choose your
firewood carefully- oak, apple, and hickory are all tasty, but stay away
from things like pine unless you want your food to taste like turpentine +ADs--)

Hope this helps.
