And when camping, fried bologna (a.k.a. "newfie steaks" for the Canadians
out there) is actually quite delicious.  Mind you, when you're in the middle
of Algonquin Park with 25 kilometres of canoeing and portaging behind you,
just about anything tastes good, and you aren't exactly fussy any more.  I
have a vivid memory of a fellow camper, ordinarily quite a fastidious young
woman, eating trail mix off a tree stump...

What is it about camping that allows you to eat that which you would never
touch under more civilized circumstances? Such as charcoaled marshmallows
... hot dogs retrieved from the ground and wiped off, sometimes on a shirt
sleeve or jeans leg?

her Gloria Jean and a hammer, but not her beans & coffee pot.
