Just don't overcook the oysters. Let me know how you like it.

Here is a good English recipe courtesy of "Boozy Nana" that sounds good for the campfire.....

Ingredients

1 banana per person
Rum
Brown sugar
Cream


Cooking Instructions

1) Bung the bananas on a BBQ whilst still in their skins,
2) When they have turned black remove them from the BBQ,
3) Carefully remove from the skins,
4) Cut in chunks and pour on rum (as much as you like!),
5) Top with brown sugar then add cream.
Calorie content horrific but who cares your camping!

I am adding our favorite camping meal here. My wife calls it German Pizza. I am not sure why, but it is a great one pan meal that you can cook on the stove or over a fire. It is great cold too!

Ingedients

Cooking oil
4 medium size potatos
1 large yellow onion
2 Peppers (you pick the color)
1 package of fresh mushrooms
1 can of Spam
6 eggs
6 oz cheddar cheese

Instructions

Peel (if required) and slice the potatos, onion, peppers, mushrooms (I buy them sliced) and spam (strips 1/2" wide).
Give the dogs a small strip of spam (they love it!).
Place a small amount of oil in the fry pan.
Make a layer of potato, onion, pepper, mushroom and spam in the pan.
Continue with the same layers untill the pan fills (3 layers).
Cover and cook over a low heat. High heat will burn the bottom potatos!
Check untill the potatos are cooked.
Scramble the eggs and pour over the top.
Cover and cook untill the eggs have stiffened.
Grade the cheese and spread over the top.
Cover and cook untill the cheese has melted.
Remove from heat and serve.

Great use of spam on that recipe!

I was watching the food channel the other night and just about fell out... they actually have a plastic gizmo that you can put a hotdog into then slip an eight sided slicer over and make real 8 legged octopuses (octopii, who cares). The program was called "Ham on the Street"

Trailer trash forever!

I had to go and google and find a picture of these famous dogs. It makes my mouth water!

Anyone heard of Spam Jerky?

Simply cut Spam into thin strips. Season with black pepper and hot sauce.

Fire up the smoker and smoke/dry them for a couple of hours.

MMMMM good!!

Speaking of mayo, my staple lunch through grade school was tuna fish sandwiches. Tuna from a can mixed with mayo on white bread.

Why fire up the smoker when you have a perfectly good, serviceable, unit under the hood of your tow vehicle or the dog house of the motor home. Seriously folks we are forgetting a whole chapter of trash cuisine most fitting for we of the RV set. The cuisine of which I speak is that which can be cooked, or smoked, on your engine or exhaust while you drive. Take that spam recipe for example. You have 5 hours to place it on the smoker. But let's say that your exhaust has a small leak, simply tape the spam jerky over the leak and after 5 hours of driving, voila Spam jerky. You will also discover a special flavor not to be found in a normal charcoal or wood fired smoker. this flavor is one only we RVers can impart to a recipe thus making it a real trailer trash meal.

[SafeHarbor]

Here's one for the trailer park get together:

1 can small potatoes, drained and cubed
1/4 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp French Dijon mustard

Combine everything but mayo and mustard, mixing well. Blend in mayo and mustard. Chill in fridge one to two hours.

Serve to unsuspecting family members and guests, and call it garden potato salad.

Enjoy!

I haven't touched it since then... Yuck!

get over it....i find it ironic that people dont know what they are ingesting, and then are repulsed when they find out. so, to further enlighten the peanut gallery, here is the real skinny from the "bible"( Le Guide Cullinaire by August Escoffier)
recipe#202 sauce mayonnaise

6 egg yolks
1 litre oil
10g salt
pinch of white pepper
1and1/2Tb vinegar

ingredients are whisked together adding oil a few drops at a time. lastly, 2 Tb of boiling water is added to ensure that the emulsification holds.

I always ordered it plain and enjoyed it; one day I forgot to say plain and got it with their secret sauce and decided to eat it rather than turn around and go back. Fifteen minutes later I thought I was going to have to pull off the road because I was so sick! The rest of the day I had stomach cramps and was nauseous. I can't even eat aioli or hollandaise.

minnies mate,
in all seriousness(for once), you no doubt have followed up on this, but, for the peanut gallery allergic reaction can range from mild to life threatening. i have been blessed with a strong constitution, but others have not, for example:
jordandvm is allergic to walnuts. doesnt bother me, but i do note that i will get hives should some of the shell be still in the convolutions of the nutmeat. i have a friend who gets sick, should she eat any processed food that contains BHA, or BHT. i have heard of a woman that didnt know she was allergic to chlorine. she went amnesiac when she went to pick her kids up at the pool, and recently we all have heard of the girl who died kissing her boyfriend, after he ate peanut butter(sheds new meaning to the "kiss of death"). you could be allergic to a component in the mayo. here is a listing from a jar of generic mayonnaise: soybean oil. eggs and egg yolks, water, distilled vinegar, sugar, salt, paprika, calcium disodium edta(for those of you in rio linda, ingredients are listed in proportional descending order). from my previous post one can note the disparity between "organic" mayo, and the commercial preparation.
my 2 cents,fwiw.....

They had the most wonderful but strangest tasting tenderloins in the world! The best days to get a tenderloin were the days that were the busiest for bait. You can fill in the blanks, or the space between the counter.

typical greasey spoon.....the dingo didnt wash his hands....

I remember junior highschool. We'd all dash out for a cone of chips at lunch. You had to just cover em with salt, then drown them in dark brown malt vinegar. Once you finished with the chips you drank the salty bottom of the cone.....mmmmmmmmmmm .

you only went there for halibut.....

I think I could just omit the mayo since it is more or less part of the garnish. Or I could just substitute plain yogurt.

[Jim Jarzabek]

Thank you for the recipe and I will try it out......

[Minnie's Mate]

It sounds strange but let me know how it taste. Some of her recipes are hit and miss. My wife tried her sugar free peanut butter cookies this week end and I think we will stick with the sugar included ones. The cookies used Splenda and had a chemical aftertaste but were OK if you are on a diet or diebetic, but we are neither.
