When we had a full camp we had some big ole spead meals . Fill a coos with salad, madinade meat all day while hunting, back potatoes wrap in foil in the fire but some time the one that's stands out is after everyone helped to hump an elk out of a stead valet bottom we all sat on the ground eating beane winnies on bead with a can of cheese wis making rounds among us. Then and there all bloody and stink'n and warn to a nub, Dam that was good.
 
Hard to say! Every fresh harvested meal tastes wonderful! Brookie trout for breakfast, Elk tenderloin for dinner, fresh scallops, grouper fillets, stone crab claws, even nasty western diamondback snake that is internally seasoned with sage from the field mice he's been eating.
 
2 cans baked beans in a Dutch oven with whatever meat you provided for the day. Fish is ok but if you rotisserie a rabbit or a bird then pitch the cooked meat in the Dutch for a bit your in for a treat.
 
Shore lunch on a fishing trip to Canada, Walleye caught minutes earlier pan fried by the guide. Just doesn't get much better.
 
Back in the day,A plain Lebanon bologna sandwich toasted over a fire on a snow covered ridgetop in PA.A midmorning break on a deerhunt.An apple for dessert and back to the hunt.
 
Two meals come to mind for me..

The first one was while fly fishing. We built a fire, pulled out the skillet and melted a little butter. Nothing like the taste of fresh trout that's went from line to pan in less than a minute.

The second was while elk hunting. While my hunting buddy took an afternoon nap I grabbed my bow and took a hike looking for grouse. I was luck enough to come across a covey and got one. Without him knowing I cleaned it and wrapped it with an onion and a couple of potatoes in tin foil and buried it in the coals of the camp fire. When we came back from the evening hunt we were beat and he was just going to have a sandwich and crash. As we walked into camp I said "That's fine but I think I'll have grouse and potatoes". As I pulled it out of the coals and open up the foil I heard, "Son of a b___h! Were did that come from!

It was a good meal but the reaction of my hunting buddy was better..

This year in deer camp after a long day of hiking and seeing zero deer, I had a glass of rye (or two) while I waited for oak coals to burn down. Cooked two fat deer steaks off my wife's yearling buck... that was a great meal. Simple, but it was a great meal. Steaks over the fire after a long day of hiking and being cold is always good, but that time it was especially perfect.
