My partner is half First Nations and half South American so I get to eat a lot of bannock and arepas, the latter being something that I'm always surprised isn't more mainstream. It's so flexible and easy. It was great, up in Temagami. We could pick wild blueberries that grew everywhere for whatever, oatmeal, pancakes, bannock, just for eating, etc. Mind you the guides told us the bears liked to pee on wild blueberries but I think that was just to ensure we washed them well.

How hard is it to do the filling? super easy! you just take the masa balls and press them into a cup shape, then put a couple tablespoons of whatever you want inside. i usually do beans, cheese, beans and cheese, shredded chicken/pork, chicken/pork and cheese, or greens and cheese (like loroco or nopales if you want something from mexico or central america (these are salvadorean i think?); i just use whatever green i have in the fridge). then you just pinch them closed, pat them back down into patties and fry 'em up

Depends on what kind of camping, really. For hiking, I'm sublimely unpicky and survive on mountain house dehydrated whatever and the good fruit and nut granola bars for munching without stopping walking. If I'm doing lazy-rear end car camping, it's a cooler full of beer, a few bags of chips, and smoked sausages on sticks so nobody has to actually cook or wash dishes, we can all just sit around, bullshit, drink beer and reheat already cooked meat. I don't do real camp cooking because I don't like doing dishes in the middle of nowhere, or carrying pots and pans.

Girl Scout camp as a kiddo is how I learned to make French toast so that’s my go-to camping meal forever after.

Oh, I have to try making Arepas. There is a local restaurant that does them, but it's on the opposite side of town, and tends to have pretty long waits for food if you don't plan ahead. One lazy/cheap hiking food I like is dressed up instant mashed potatoes. You can put all sorts of things in them, and they are basically done as soon as you add water. Hard cheese that doesn't need cold, sliced spam, instant onions, dehydrated mushrooms... Get your carb on.

Oh lord, I used to do 3+ weeks in the backcountry and I will never forget the time we mixed up powdered mash for powdered milk and got a very rude awakening after heating the pot.

Sounds like it would fit the thread title well. How was the milk-goo? Powdered milk, gov'ment peanut butter, powdered sugar, raisins, and dry oatmeal was a 'nutrition bar' I recall with likely rose tinted glasses, when I was a kid. Would get them in our summer program for poor kids in the 80s, and they were the best! So long as you had little cartons of milk to wash them down...

you’ve probably seen things like sausage packs, cheese-filled crackers, canned cheese, and cheez whiz before. a lot of cheese is shelf stable to a point, it’s not like it’s kept at fridge temperature the whole time it’s being made but really if you put something on the outside to keep mould away and didn’t have it in an anoxic environment a lot of it would probably last a pretty long time. that said that block is going to be like the cheese you get in a snack pack with slim jim than something like a good cheddar

It's not like refrigeration was a common thing for the three thousand years or so humans have been making cheese. Most hard cheeses are relatively shelf stable for a year as long as they're in the rind and kept below 70f. Liquid Communism fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Mar 21, 2021 |

Could be MAP instead of just vac sealing as well. A lot of cheeses, even things like sliced sandwich cheeses, can last for months in an atmosphere that slows the ripening processes.
