TWISTS

The simplist form of this is to simply 'twist' some dough around a greensapling branch. And roast it over the fire.

You could try some variations on a twist mixture ... e.g. sugar and cinnamonin the dough should be quite tasty.  At our last district camp one cub even put tomato sause of his !!!!.

Bananas in Foil

This is one of my peronal all time favourite scouting pieces of food. Tryit.  It's delicious.

Take one large banana and some chocolate.  Cut banana all the way down(don't split it).  Then place some chocolate in the middle (Chocolatebuttons work best) and wrap the whole thing in foil. Then leave it in burningembers for about 5 minutes, until the chocolate is melted !!!

A variation is to put ripe, unpeeled bananas into the ashes of a good fireand roast until skin is black (about half an hour). Rake out, split peeldown the centre, and sprinkle fruit with sugar and lemon juice. Eat withspoon or fingers.
