Default What would be a really weird thing to have for dinner on a camping trip?

We're going on a camping trip and we need to think of something really weird to have for dinner. We'll have access to a camp stove and we won't have to carry food far so weight doesn't matter.

We just want something really weird or a weird combo to have. Any suggestions?

My family and I went camping this past Memorial Day weekend. Saturday we went out of the woods to go buy some steamers. Well, the store didn't have any. We ended up walking out of the store with 5 lobsters. Yep! Lobsters..lol

They were really good, don't get me wrong. It just wasn't the easiest thing to do at camp. We ended up so messy and everything smelled like lobster. We had fun trying to get them open without the proper utensils though. I even tried to take and ax to my lobster..lol

it must have been a fun camping for you campergal...a lobster...I have heard of people taking shrimps though...Marinade shrimp the night before. put them on skewers. Wrap in plastic wrap and then foil. Freeze. They will thaw and you can cook them on the grill, or over the fire with the long hotdog skewer thingy.

Lobsters over a campfire... now there's some serious camping! That sounds like a fun idea to me. Did you have butter with you to melt for the dipping?

So is the ax how you were able to open them or did you find something else to do that?

I used to work with a guy who was an avid scuba diver. He told me one time they went away for a weekend and camped on an island. He said they caught lobster and ate it that night. I was thinking that when I saw this thread title, but you beat me to it.

My next idea would be a eat only what you catch. But that only works if you are a hunter and/or angler. I've known people to do this, and they say that lead to some interesting dinners. Squirrel anyone? How about fish taco's?

That being said. If I had a choice of anything to bring, weight being no object. I would love to bring either half or whole pig. Just roast that over an open fire.

I could go for fish tacos... if I had the right sauce with me. But squirrel... eeeeew, no way.

Eww...fish tacos? Just doesn't sound at all appealing to me. Those two things just don't seem to go together at all. Lobster would be good though but definitely the weirdest camp food I have heard of so far!

The last time I went camping, my wife and I had each a small cornish game hen. It's pretty cool to cook a whole (albeit small) bird over a fire.



It's about the size of a softball.
