I have been on this list as something of a voyeur, since i live in an
apartment with no balcony and am often either an officer, a
competition judge, or a herald at events, so dont have time to linger
over a smokey fire.
But at the West/An Tir War this weekend, there was the period cooks
camp in which we cooked nearly everything over charcoal fires. So
besides pots in the coals, there was much spitting and grilling.
I have very little experience cooking on *real* fire, so my first
morning it took me about three hours to get some water hot enough to
poach eggs. But i learned a LOT! And had a marvelous time.
Our mantra was Period Food Is Yummy. One whole side of the camp was
open to the road, and all day we invited passersby to come into the
camp and taste what we were cooking.
And at dinner time, all our tables were lined up on the edge of the
road and we each set our feast gear where we would be sitting. Then
starting at one end, we put some of our dish onto every plate. Then
we sat to eat, each with the serving dish(es) in front of the cook
who had prepared it. There were at least 18 and often more dishes at
each dinner. After all of us had been served and had begun eating, we
coerced, err, invited passersby to take a small paper dish and work
their way down the tables to sample everything.
