[Sca-cooks] Food for camping

[Stefan li Rous]

<<< I was wondering If you could help me out with some suggestions for
(acceptable) food for camping. We have only very limited cooling  
space, so I
tend to bring fruit which doesn't perish too quickly, some nuts and  
salami,
but this year we will be at an event for almost a week, probably sunny
weather and our own tent. >>>

Here are a couple of Florilegium files which might prove useful.

In the FEASTS section:

     (cook the food at home, freeze in plastic bags and then simply  
boil the bags in a pot of boiling water. Might be good for the first  
few days when you are still trying to get your camp kitchen set up)

as you can soak it or use it in a food item which already has vinegar  
in it.)
