Food must be cooked in one or two pots in order to keep to a minimum the number of utensils, the fuel consumption, and the time. The more water used in cooking, the less the chance of scorching the food. Moreover, mealtime often provides the only opportunity to obtain water. These requirements are best met by soupy dishes containing numerous food items mixed together. Breakfast: Breakfast may consist of hot chocolate in one pot and mush in the other. The mush can be made by putting the necessary ingredients—salt, sugar, butter, diced fruits, or chipped Canadian bacon—into warmed snow water which is then stirred and brought to a boil. Oatmeal is then added and the mixture allowed to simmer 5—10 minutes; however, if you use prepared instant cereals, the meal is ready upon contact of the cereal with the boiling water. |
