woa2 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 This question is for those who cook when at MV Shows. What do you cook for your Evening Meal? Meals should be quick to prepare and create the minimum of washing up. I am trying to get some ideas for cooking at War & Peace next year, and avoiding just having take-aways (also, buying Sausages from a Burger van parked next to the Toilets is a bit off-putting). OK, any cooking suggestions from anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi, it is surprising what you can get in tins to-day last year as my chinese friend proudly announced he was eating `english food` i let him know i was having oriental beef in a bean sauce (5 mins)with noodles (3 mins) cooked in minutes very easy, tinned mince + pototoes, peas/carrots followed by a good tin of rice pudding and a tea/or beer who needs take aways vans ? Though i must admitt the cafe on the industrial estate down the road from beltring make a veryhearty breakfast very reasonably priced indeed and opens at 6 am so you can walk it off (more like waddle) back to camp.

Smithy Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Tinned Hotdog's are always a favourite. My dad concocted a meal of ravioli and potato over the past year as well which goes down pretty well and is easy to prepare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat paul Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 usually cook currys or chilli, or spag bol far easier on the field kitchen when your cooking for 10 people upwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 usually cook currys or chilli, or spag bol far easier on the field kitchen when your cooking for 10 people upwards I am looking at cooking for around 6 people. Some good suggestions so far. Jack - how about publishing a Cook Book for people going to MV Shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Don't forget a nice tin of treacle sponge pudding with a tin of rice pudding or instant custard or both poured on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snag with a sponge pudding is boiling for 40 minutes. Nice thought though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Snag with a sponge pudding is boiling for 40 minutes. Nice thought though. Not a problem for vehicles fitted with a BV - they can cook the pud in transit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 woa2 Snag with a sponge pudding is boiling for 40 minutes. Nice thought though. less than 4mins. in a 650w microwave powered from a 1kw invertor (durchsprung nacht technik) And you can reheat the pizza:D Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ives Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 find out who has the field kitchen and see if they are using it at the shows you never know you could even end up with chicken dinners or 2 course meals:nut: when mine is at a show i always use it to cook something to show the public how it should be used:blush: and always have hot water on for washing up after as most people who eat at the events dont mind helping afterwards:cool2: as a lot of kitchens are around it shouldnt be to hard to find a group nearby if you are on your own when im on my own i use a old no 3 double burner with 1 big pan and that cooks fine for 4 people anything from stew to boil in the bag items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrynevuk Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 We havw a small gas bbq. Its so easy to cook any meats you need. We have a gas fridge as well so we go to the supermarket a couple of times and stock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pearson Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Not a suggestion, (she is spoken for) but the best way I have found is to take my missus. When she didn't go to Beltring, we ate out of tins (literally, a fork into the can) and lived on burgers etc from a van. When she did go, she took real, fresh ingredients, potatoes to peel, peas to shell, fresh meat etc and cooked up 3 proper restaurant quality meals a day. She even insisted we washed up after each meal instead of washing up when we ran out of plates/cutlery or when the last meal remnants were going mouldy like we would usually do. I know we took advantage but did try to help with the preparation etc so she did not spend her whole time over a stove. How do cooks (either sex) manage to cook things for different lengths of time, at different heat settings but end up with everything ready at the same time? Beats me!!

Greetz David Hi david, as you head into paddockwood there is an industrial estate sign posted on the left hand side you have to follow the road to the end to find it as i remember there were some dutch guys there one morning with their jeep to whom i chatted.
