    usually make a curry or chilli the night before and warm it up - sometimes baked potatoes but hopefully there is a chipshop on site or close.


    if i'm really lucky though it's....

    My ultimate quick and yummy meal is chicken stir-fry. And to answer the inevitable question - yes I do carry a full size wok with me at all times!!

    Here's a picture of a beef one from last year! Not by best effort but passable. Bus was a hire one on the Isle of Wight. image.jpg


    Olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, soy and Worcestershire sauce plus seasoning for the marinade, then some random chopped veg. I basically make it up. The important thing is it is healthy and quick.

    Yes - cook at home and heat up when you get there/cook rice. I thought I might get quite into camp cooking, but it turns out I can't be bothered in the van if it takes more than a few minutes. :)

  8. if we are near somewhere we always eat out the first night ...........however have in reserve cold hock and salad , sometimes a quick egg fried rice goes down a treat, however when coastal we have fish, in tin foil with herbs lemon splash of olive oil , new pots and of course.................SALAD !
     
  9. However you are the God of cooking perfect rice. ;)

    I'm usually just happy with a bacon sarnie, but at the moment I'm "trying to lose some unwanted poundage before beach season" and so it's more likely to be a salad - using that bagged mixed salad Florette stuff.

    I've had some good bacon egg and asparagus on toast breakfasts this year. Glass of orange, strong cup of coffee, then back to bed.
     
  11. you cannot beat a quick eggy bread with arromat and maybe a little marmite to dip...quick easy tastey...
    I sometimes go for egg noodle take only a few mins not 15 like rice...with a bit of chicken to fry off and add an amoy roasted peanut satay sauce...quick and soooo yummy

  12. I am desperate to use an oven in their van? I am desperate for a solution. I have a microwave with an oven function but it's too massive to take on holiday.

    I use to make an elaborate stew like dish. Still one of my faves and ideal for breakfast but now I like to do a beef stir fry.

    You filthy witch. My camping essential.
     
  16. Fat juicy medium rare rump steak.
     
  17. In a previous life I worked on little alloy tanks and personnel carriers driven by 4.2 twin cam Jag engines

    The lovely "V" between the cams on the top of the engine proved to be a great place for warming pasties etc. when they were out driving but sometimes they weren't retrieved in time and cue a spate of engine bay fires!

    Oh how we laughed when we had to go and drag them back to the workshop after the evidence had been removed!

  18. Egg and bacon,bacon and egg,add a tin of beans and you get egg bacon and beans or bacon egg and beans,the choices are great. Top draw one is chicken/beef stir fry with noodles/rice.
     
  19. All these culinary delights :D. First meal is usually something gloopy out of a can heated up and washed down with something out of a bottle.
     
  20. Not much time for cooking while on the run, so it's pretty much just pasta with bottled or canned sauces.

    But if it's really special and we have time and a place to buy good fish, then its Salmon filets in a sauce made up of white wine, mustard, greek yoghurt, lemon peel and lot's of olive oil and tons of garlic. Succulent and doesn't stuff you like pig, so we can go on free roaming instead of lying in bed for the rest of the day.

    just pasta in the pic though.
