KEBABS

Kebabs are good - You could buy the bamboo skewers and put all sorts of stuffon them. Steak, onions, peach, potato and kiwi fruit are good.  Scouts(or cubs) will love them.

The best kebabs are ones of the fruit variety.  Cut up lots of oranges,apples, pinapple, melons ,bananas or any other fruit you may have.  Putall the fruit out on a table, give each scout/cub a skewer and let them makeup their own kebab.  It works a treat, try it!

Spiders

Cut hot dogs in quarters, length wise 1/3 of the way from each end. Thisleaves a solid centre to put on a stick or hot dog fork. Cook over open fire(the spider's legs will curl), serve on a hamburg bun.

Grilled Lasagne Sandwiches

Allow each Scout two sandwiches. For each sandwich, you need two slices baconor ham and two slices mozzarella or swiss processed cheese. Spread sour creamand tomato paste on bread and sprinkle on a little oregano to flavour. Frybacon or ham and put it between two slices of prepared bread. Butter theoutside of the bread, fry, and eat.

Grilled ham and cheese sandwiches are also popular with the Scouts, and theyare nice with noodle soup and a side dish of fresh carrots.

Camp Tacos

This is a nice, easy dish.  Firstly fry ground beef with some taco sauceto spice. Put into taco shells. Top with shredded lettuce, grated cheddarcheese, diced tomatoes, and more taco sauce. Some patrols also bring alongsour cream to add to the dish, and most have buns or bread

Tin Can Cooking

Another technique is to get a large tin can, cut air holes in the bottonand put it in the embers. Then you can fry eggs on the " hot plate " usingslices of grapefruit skins as egg rings.

You could even take an unopened tin (for example beans), make two holes inthe top

and put it over or in the fire. You'll have piping hot food and no washingup.

WARNING  - do not put a can without holes in, over, or on a fire becauseit will explode scatering its contents and metal all over the camp site (Trustme it's happened!)

An Egg in an Orange

First of all take an egg and an orange. Cut of the top of the orange. Emptythe orange with a spoon so that the egg can be placed in the empty shell.Put back the top of the orange and a little of the juice and place it ina (small) fire. The egg will be boiled in the juice off the orange!

Foil Cooking

Take a double piece of aluminum foil, put a hamburger on it, a little bitof butter or margerine, and any or all of the following ingredients - carrots,potatoes (thinly sliced so they will cook fast), onions etc.  Cut upthe vegatables and line everything up on foil and then go down the line andput anything on that you want.  Next, the foils are wrapped and sealedand then placed on the fire. The fire should not be a high flaming fire,but more like coals - in fact barbeque coals work nicely too. Wait 10-15minutes. Find something to pull the foil parcels out of the fire with.
