Summer Sausage (was) RE: [at-l] food

[russ.drake at navy.mil (Drake, Russ SKCM)]

  We usually bring summer sausage and put it on a mini bagels with cheese... yum!    We also use summer sausage in Mac & Cheese... that was good too...

  We used Vienna sausages once but it was pretty bland and a bit too mushy.. but hey it was food!  One of our favorites is the foil packed chicken on a bagel, with mayo and some parm. cheese.  Mmmm.

  Sparky!

I buy fresh stuff at the beginning of a section.  Or when I drop off the
trail to go to a local store.  If it is a real old-timey store, they often
will sell you things that most chains won't -- like sliced cheese and
bologna sandwiches when they are not an official restaurant and have that
special stamp.  I always eat those things right away.  And I save the camper
foods for later on.

In fact, I usually buy stuff that won't keep and have a "special" meal that
first night back on the trail.  Like 3 egg hash omlets.

William, The Turtle

3 Egg Hash Omlets

3 eggs (wrap in something sturdy)
1 can cornbeef Hash (and any other cooked or semi-cooked meats) or Bacon
Powdered milk (or can a small carton of whole milk or half-and-half)
Onions
Green Peppers
Catsup or Salsa

Fry the meats and remove from pan.

Quickly saute the onions and the peppers.  Then put aside.

Scramble eggs, adding the powdered milk plus some water. Or use the real
milk. Cook until set. Or make a real omlet.

Run a line through the eggs after they are set & add the other ingredients.
Then fold over.  Save the catsup/salsa for a topping.

Also, you can skip the folding-in and just scramble in the meat and other
ingredients.  Usually it's best to wait to add the stuff until the eggs are
at least partially set.

Spam make a spread that is great on Ritz crackers.  MAkes a 
great trail lunch, but I would not carry it on a long hike 
(too heavy).  I also found salmon in a foil pack.  Two hikes 
ago I took some, with a fresh bagel and a small container of 
cream cheese (provided by the bagel shop).  Iaalso cannot get 
enough fresh fruit.  I am not a big fan of the dried fruit.

On long hikes one does not want to carry a lot of weight so 
one ends up carrying things that need to be rehydratred.  For 
breakfast there is nothing better than cream of wheat, grits 
or oatmeal (I would never eat any of this stuff at home)  
They all come in packages that weigh next to nothing.  Lunch 
is usally PP&J on peta bread.  Dinner -mac and cheese, Lipton 
instand dinners, found a good vegatarian chili.

Word to the wise.  Try the food before you go on your trip.  
I found a vegatarian Black Bean Soup that sounded good.  Had 
it on the second night.  From Midnight to 8:00 am the next 
morning I spent digging cat holes.  the soup definitely 
cleaned me out.
