I hate to say it but I've shared a few camps with "people that cook". I like a good meal just as much as the next guy but when I'm in the woods I want it simple and quick. I don't want to waste a lot of valuable hunting and fishing time preparing for a big meal then cleaning it up afterwards.

Nope no wine in my cooking! Im of the K.I.S.S. people! KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!!!!! and 4 u who never did cook a meal in your life here follows my simple homemade spagettisauce recipy:
Take half a garlic, skin it and finely chop, do the same with a regular onion, then add to the pot.. i use an iron pot and use bout 3/4 heat of any stove and put a spoonfull of butter and as much olive oil in it to "boil" the onions in.. swish the onion about till it becomes glassy (aka see through looking and soft) if it burns u use too much heat.. then add the minced meat about 800 grams and swish it about till its no longer red anywhere.. be sure to beat it down till its finely arranged and no big lumps.. and when the meat ir just right add about 2 spoonfulls of wheat flour and rotate in so all the fat in the pot is absorbed into the flour (u see no white anywhere) then add about a litre of water and about half a tin of tomato paste (u can use shelled and pitted canned tomatoes instead but for an even sauce i prefer paste and it keeps forever in the fridge and costs bubkiss)
(when its dark orange uve added enough) then get a spoon and add some salt and black finely ground pepper and let it boil up slowly.. then taste it.. is it good yet?? need more pepper?? more salt?? ad for flavour then pour over spagetti al dente and enjoy.. Any guy that can put together an ikea shelf can do it and if your considerably aloof of your dish (its just spagetti sweetie!!) and has flavoured it precicely u r gonna get laid unless u mess it up otherwise:D
this is just the basic recipy offcourse and u can swap ingredients and add some to make it your own, but its easy to do and cheap so u can make it over and over till u get it just right, and when u do the feemales are gonna be impressed:P and u will eat till u puke when u get it right yourself:P
But for that special evening where u really wanna impress make her a carbonara with the eggyoke served ontop in a half eggshell and a fine sprinkling of green herbs finely chopped over the plate..
Recipies found elsewhere..
peace out!!

If any of you guys like oysters on the half shell there's an oyster bar in Eustis Florida (near Orlando). It's called the "Oyster Trough" and it's a little redneck kind of place but the best oyster's on the half shell I have ever eaten (3 dozen). The Bud comes in a frosted mug and is mighty good on a hot day. Every time I go home to visit family a trip (or 2) to the trough is a must.

I'm with ingebrigtsen, I cook quite a bit, and when I was single, it landed me game that was out of my league, and even today, I'm married and a good meal is one sure way to light that fire up :)

Love to cook, when I have the time. Still trying to learn some of my mom's special recipes - can't seem to get them just right.

I really miss traveling to the east coast because of all the great seafood. Reading you and Cermele on food has got me pining for another trip east. Though, I also have a strange yearning for a bit of southern flavor - Virginia ham. Must be for the salt.

There's a restaurant, a few miles from the Baltimore airport, that specializes in Maryland crab cakes. Best crab cakes I have had. Anyone know its name? Might be off Hammonds Ferry. Anyone have a favorite crab cake recipe?

Cooking is somewhat of a pleasure to me. On pack in trips I have been the cook as long as others did the clean up.
BTW ingebritsen did you forget to ad Oregano to your sauce? Also I prefer extra virgin Olive oil in my recipe which is very simular to yours.

i love to cook and its easy to eat good in camp.i hunt out of a ridge pole tent a lot, so i make most of the food i eat prior to the season opening and vacuum seal and freeze it . than you just toss it in a cooler . and all you have to do is place it in boiling water to heat it up . clean up is easy a pan or two for the meat to go with a dish if called for and a few utensils . toss the paper plate in the Shepard's stove .

All this cooking talk is making me hungry. I'll throw my 2 cents in on the oregano debate. I use basil instead of oregano. It's less pungent but it adds that green herb flavor. You guys got the oil right--Xtra virgin.
