Hi All,
I've been looking through the forum and realised that there isn't really anywhere that really helps out the campers in terms of food ideas. Anyway, some friends and I are going camping next week (my first foray!), and I really want to stick to plan (as best as possible). So, I figured what better way to do it than figure it all out in advance, then post it for all to see! I hope you post your ideas too - more than just baked beans and pasta! We all really love our food, so it is really important to get a good variety and balance between what will be both healthy and tasty.
We are doing it the comfy way - we are taking no less than three stoves (one double, one single), which we can use to cook on. I'll also be taking 2 frying pans, and 3 stainless steal cooking pots. I'm hoping to procure a griddle from somewhere as well, but we'll see. One of the best things about camping is - or course - the BBQ! Unforutnately, it doesn't look like there is going to be much BBQ weather! So I'm going to be coming up with warm, tasty recipes that will keep the chill and rain at bay
We're also going right out into the sticks - Hawkshead, in Kendal (Lake Windemere), which means there will be no where really to buy food. This will hopefully prevent too much impulse snack buying, but is also going to be a bit of a pain. So basically, we're going to have to take most of our food with us. This is in addition to decent cooking equiptment (knives, chopping board etc) - I really recommend taking good quality stuff with you - there is nothing worse than preparing a meal and not being able to chop food very well! Takes forever, and is oh so frustrating.
So, here we go... 6 people, 5 days, 2 tents, 1 camping trip. Hopefully Slimming World friendly!
