Cooking An Egg In A Potato

I think I've gone through the mill, sort of speak, and tried just about everything when it comes to cooking eggs. I guess we have all cooked breakfast in a bag? I do cook eggs in a baggie a lot. You can throw just about anything in to spice it up. Seal the bag, throw it into boiling water, knead it a few times and walla - great eggs. The great thing as we know - there is no wash up.

 

Remember this?

 

There is always that possibility. I've read the studies - not totally universal - so I select the best bags on the shelf. Still a lot safer than a lot of goop we slap on our bodies. Besides that - I don't do it ever day.

 

I have NO idea what the things in the little paper bags on the campfire are. The bags don't get too hot and catch on fire ? They aren't really grocery bags, and I just think they are?

I am sure they would totally disintegrate from the heat if left on there very long. So.......what ARE they and what are you cooking in there??

 

...you have to keep an eye on them for sure. But...they are just plain paper lunch bags. It's called - Breakfast in a Bag.

Everyone has their own recipe but what I have done in the past is throw some hash brown potatoes, bacon slices cut in two, (you can use ham of course) an egg or two - it all seems to work out. BUT...though it is fun to show off these peculiar and fun methods and call food by ridiculous names - I prefer a more conventional method of cooking and I really don't like people putting in food colouring or naming my food.

 

...just a minor point .

 

I've tried a lot of this stuff - I will not be giving up my trusty cast iron fry pan soon . I've done some of this fun stuff to arrest the attention of youth. When I've got that I can go on to other camp cooking lessons.

Hope you are doing supper well in your neck of the woods. Coming Soon

 

I prepared my Yukon Stew earlier this evening for the week end as I am away camping. Though there will be access to a lot of food I put my stew into a Dutch oven and just leave it there for the whole weekend. I heat it up, eat some of it, and just leave the rest to freeze. When I'm ready I repeat the performance.

It's cold here too and there is a storm scheduled for Thursday giving the plow people an opportunity to clear the highways before I leave on Friday.

 

...an egg in a potato?
Can you imagine our Winter Camp Leader cooked a turkey dinner, with all the trimmings at Saturday supper when the temperature was already plummeting. It was super delicious. He used a deep fry can to cook the turkey that was succulent as Kentucky fried chicken.

 

I've seen this too! Never tried it though, but I might give it a shot (nothing wrong with crude every now and then). There are a surprising number of ways to cook eggs.
