Some suggestions for simple but popular camping meals:
Breakfasts: Cereals which are relatively compact. eg. Wheat biscuits, muesli, variety packs are popular with children. Long life milk, plus a little hot water on cold mornings. Jaffles (in campfire) made with stale bread, margarine buttered on the outside. Fill with cheese, salami, left-overs from last night's tea. Check/turn regularly and cut off the "dags". Bacon & eggs, canned spaghetti & cheese. Toast (using extendable-handle toasting fork). Drinks: Long life juice cartons (1 litre), coffee, tea, hot chocolate. Lunches (if travelling): Fresh bread (while available) with salad, meat/cheese slices or various spreads (peanut butter, cheese spread, vegemite) for self-made sandwiches. Dry biscuits (Vita wheat, savoy, salada) with fillings eg. small cans of tuna, salmon, sardines with various flavours, salami, cheese, salad things. Jaffles (made the previous night) cooled, then stored in a plastic bag. Boiled frankfurts (from breakfast time) kept warm in a thermos flask. Serve as hot dogs. Fruit, sweet biscuits or fruit cake. Scroggin (mixed nuts, dried fruit, smarties) in plastic bag. Handfuls only, no "picking" allowed!
Lunches (if at base camp): Do-it-yourself pizza (pita bread with fillings cooked in foil). Fritters (chopped vegies fried in batter). Pancakes, damper, soup & toast, jaffles, welsh cakes Teas: Grilled sausages/chops/steak (while available) or boiled frankfurts with boiled vegies (fresh cabbage/carrot, dehydrated peas/carrots/beans, canned corn) with potatoes wrapped in foil cooked on hot coals (turn regularly). Fried rice: Boil rice then add pre-fried bacon/salami/egg/onion and celery/cabbage/capsicum/zucchini then fry in pan. Stir fry: Cut up frankfurts/stras and fry with vegies as above. Spaghetti bolognaise: Boil pasta and dehydrated vegies in large billy, drain water and add can of meat sauce. Tuna mornay, fish patties.
Desserts: Canned fruits and puddings. Long life custard or cream. Pancakes, fruit damper, cake. Banana boats (slice banana lengthwise, insert chocolate, cook in foil. S'mores (toasted marshmallows between chocolate wheaten biscuits).
