Pig on a tater -- that name cracked me up

Nothin better than some corn on the cob from a camp fire. Also, if you're camping, you should be fishing too!!! Try and take along some of your spices for cooking fish. Clean it & wrap it in aluminum foil. By the way, that reynolds release DOES work really good!!!!!!!

This isn't a food to cook, but Luna Bars and Cliff Bars are both good foods to eat while camping.
