[...]  Ah-ha-ha.  Foiled again.  Re: Camper/Boy(Girl) Scout comestibles
------------------------------------------------.....!ihnp4!sys1!sysvis!ger
Make a double-fist-sized container out of aluminum foil.  Seal all edges with
double or triple folds so that liquids cannot leak out during the cooking
process.  Fill the foil container with 1" cubes of {beef stew meat, onions,
garlic, potatoes, and carrots}.  Vary the quantity of each according to your
own taste.  Season the ingredients with a few (6?) Tbsp. of water, 1 Tbsp. of
butter/margarine, + dashes of salt, pepper, thyme, parsely, & marjoram.  Again,
*SEAL* the foil *TIGHTLY* so that the cooking liquids cannot leak out.  Place
the foil wrapped entree into the coals of a campfire, being very careful *NOT*
to puncture the foil in doing so.  Cover the foil container as much as possible
with the hot coals.  After about 15-45 minutes (depending on the heat of the
fire), remove the container from the fire and enjoy your meal.  One container
should be made for each person as larger containers are hard to manage/seal and
take longer to cook.  In a pinch, eat directly from the foil container.  Change
the meats/vegetables/spices as you prefer.  Chicken, sliced almonds, mushrooms,
& green beans also work well {salt,pepper,paprika,savory,sage} (cooks faster).
At home, use a charcoal broiler or a stove oven to prepare these same dishes.
