I think that's an exaggeration. We have usually done one dinner for
the whole encampment during Pennsic, and others in the encampment
sometime do the same. It takes about two and half hours from the time
we start the campfire to when dinner is served. That with two of us
cooking for about ten to twelve.
The important thing is to select dishes that are reasonably easy to
make over a fire--as in most of what we do, the objective is period
not fancy. There's an old article on the _Miscellany_ on one such
dinner.
And, apropos of a different part of the thread, we don't bring a
cooler to Pennsic and haven't for many years. There's a _Miscellany_
article on that too.
