I'm a fan of Jimmy Dean skillets, all cut up and ready to go, just add eggs.  And if I don't want to bring real eggs, I bring fake eggs...all scrambled up you can hardly tell the difference.  This year I may be attempting pancakes.  Dinners I'm always trying something else; I've not settled on something I really like.  I've actually had good sucess with Zataran's Jambalya with sausage.

I actually have a small seperate cooler for the food.  It's a styrofoam cooler that I got when I recieved a ham from Honey Baked Ham.  It is excellent!  I strap the lid on with bungee cords, and I can keep it cold in there all weekend even during the hot ones.

I am a man of breakfast, of corned beef and hash, fried eggs, browned sausages, coffee and a good irish tea or lady grey. As for the rest of the meals, liquid bread and regular bread suffice....I think I have stumbled upon what I wish to do this year for halloween at least..Pumpkin soup...made with some sherry..I will only be camping two of the Three Weekends, so I shall festive it up some...Thanksgiving...I may just kill my turkey on site.

We deep fried one last year - It was awesome (of course we deep fry one every year - last year was just the first time in the camp ground).  Can't wait for turkey day in camp this year.

Sir Mouse don't forget that you ride to faire in what amounts to a oven... Run your car/truck for 15-20 minutes and toss a frozen lasagna on the manifold and come back in 3-4 hours. TA DA... dinner.

I remember when you made the Jimmy Dean breakfast!  It was super yummy!  :)

I have neve had haggis...I mention this only because upon typing the word haggis into the search (because the mood struck me), I saw this site was OVERRAN with hits on my search. My secret shame being aired out mingled with my need to find a hang over cure (as one of the matches implied it was good for), where can I get me hands on said dish...I have seen it in cans (but I do not hazard a guess that it is tasty). I can't make the dish....Lord, knows I don't want to, but I do wish to try it.

Believe it or not, the canned stuff is pretty decent.  We get ours from caledonian kitchen http://www.caledoniankitchen.com/catalog/

We usually bring some with us to camp although I haven't checked or stash lately.  I wonder if we even have any left.

Excellent question.  I'd like to think we get the lamb, it would be my assumption, but now I'm not completely sure.  I'll have to check the pantry to see if there is any left, and then to find out of which variety we have been getting.

Y'know, if they weren't so danged expensive, I'd just buy me some MREs and go to town.

A couple of those + alcohol = a satisfied DS...

I don't know - We had some given to us after Ike - They weren't too bad.  I'd be able to live off of them for a weekend at TRF if I had too.

I actually found the corned beef and hash to be the best tasting out of them...
