My  best recipe.

Steak on a stick or Caveman Supreme.

First you get a nice juicy steak.   You know the kind that is just dripping with blood.   Get your knife and pierce a hole through both ends of it so a stick can fit through it.   They you place it over the fire and pour gobs barbecue sauce over it making sure every portion of the meat is covered.   Then you wrap up some potatoes in foil and place them around the fire cooking them on  a high heat for at least 20 minutes or until soft.

Now back to the steak, get your knife again and cut off a piece, this is your tester.    If the tester still screams then you need to cook it just a little while longer.

Once everything is ready, open up the foil and put a couple of gobs of sour cream on the potato and start eating.   Leave the steak on the  stick so you can just eat it cave man style.    Once you are finished everything through it in the fire and "VIOLA" no dishes.

I would also like to mention that the red wine is optional though I prefer white myself.

What do you think?

.....as with any complete dining experience, ambiance is very important.   Consider the finest meals you have consumed in your life........what sets them apart in your memory is no doubt the setting in which the repast was consumed.
    Right off the bat, I would not even consider attempting  Kirby's complicated instructions without the appropriate venue.   Nothing but an actual cave will do.  This might take some searching if you live in ..... oh, say, the Florida keys or Georgia sea islands, but the total experience should be well worth the search and therefore the meal should not be attempted without an *actual* cave man  cave.
    Now concerning Kirby's recipe which he has named 'cave man steak'.......  (this is one of the earliest recipes known to man and was formerly known as Mammoth tartar--only the boldest of the Neanderthals would, after first healing from his last attempt, stealthily cover the ground on the verdant Pleistocene savannah towards a mating pair of Mammoths on his stomach......as the mounting Mammoth had other, more sublime delights on his
mind at the moment of the attack, the cave man could with impunity,  actually and successfully exact several mouthfuls of Woolly Mammoth from the flanks, before retreating again as prudence would dictate. The mammoth never missed the protein.)
    Once the cave man cave has been secured, might I suggest continuing the steps towards completing the necessary ambiance by the application of some (cooled) ashes from the fire, and stripping to the waist (or --to the all together for that matter, ---if you choose the more authentic latter option, --just be careful transitioning across the fire while cooking--or the experience might suggest an entirely different name to this type of
cuisine. )
    Keep your conversation with your paddling mate, while you partially incinerate the soft tissues of the large quadruped, (that is, if there are no Woolly Mammoths to be had), to an absolute  minimum or only utter monosyllabic phrases unintelligible to anyone apart from yourself.  Admittedly, this takes some practice to learn to be that incoherent but great help towards this valuable life skill is to be had from listening to the post
race interviews of Nascar drivers.
    A dominance scuffle over the scalding meat with your paddling buddy will no doubt augment the pleasure of the dining experience.  In this case the winner actually loses judging by the blistered and seared soft pallet mouth parts --the 'winner' will doubtless give considerable thought to his conquest for several days following--but it tends detract from the general pain of paddling.....accupuncture principle.
    Or for those in a hurry......the  considerable burden of pain involved in this recipe could be circumvented by simply fast forwarding to the last ingredient of Kirby's enlightened instructions:   The red wine.   Wash down enough gorp with red wine and you won't care that you're only eating gorp.  Once on a short backpacking trip on the AT, I took entirely too much wine and little water........brushing one's teeth with red wine in the
morning cured me of that forever.......but that's another story.
                                                                Happy Jurassic dining paddlemates!
                                                                                    Chris

<snipped>
===============

setting, setting, setting.

i choose lunch spots based upon flowers in bloom.

one of my favorites in these parts in late summer,
Cardinal flower.
it's bright red and it loves living in the inter-tidal zone.

a flower that doesn't know it if it's on land or in brackish water.

other than red-winged back birds in marshes,
i'll take Cardinal flower and
eat what ever is available.

cu,
bliven

Larry is quite right here.  Almost anything will taste better if you're in a
beautiful setting.

Larry, will you marry me! :-)

Hi All!

Pack a frozen Cornish Game Hen, some fresh button mushrooms, and some
tinfoil. (Or prepare the works at home and re-freeze.) You'll also want
some salt, pepper, and butter. By the second nite out your hen should be
thawed. Rinse it out, saving the giblets if desired. Stuff the bird with
the mushrooms, some butter, salt, and pepper. While you're at it, butter,
salt, and pepper the outside too. Take a piece of tinfoil long enough to
wrap the bird about three times. Fold a pouch in one end, place the bird in
it breast up, and roll 'er up. Fold the ends a couple times to seal, toss
it on the coals, and turn occasionally. Takes about 45 minutes on hot
coals. If you happen to have extra 'shrooms, wrap them up with butter, salt
and pepper in another bit of foil, and toss 'em on too. 10 or 15 minutes
for a nice appetizer. When you unroll things, you can eat right out of the
pouch, then roll it back up for disposal.
Same trick works real well for fresh fish, too; bring a couple of strips of
bacon if expecting trout.
Here's a trick for corn-on-the-cob that not to many folks know. Take a
fresh ear, trim just enough of the stem to get it to fit in your foil, wrap
it twice, twist the ends, and toss it on the coals for 15 or 20 minutes.
When you unwrap it, the silk will come off with the inner husks, which can
then be folded back and used as a handle. Quick -n- easy.
Damn. Now I'm hungry . . .
ByeBye! S.

I don't think you mean to start with a frozen bird, defrost and prepare,
then refreeze? Not usually recommended to freeze fresh meat twice, for
best quality of meat texture. Otherwise, sounds wonderful!

Corn in the husk - no foil - also works fine in the microwave oven, 3-4
minutes per ear. You'll never boil it again. e

Picky, picky, picky.  I'm sure he DID mean it.  When necessary, I've done it 
umpteen times and could never tell the difference -- especially when I've 
defrosted something and something comes up and I know I won't cook it before 
it goes "off."

PS: Do you think we can get him to come to Miami and cook a Cornish hen 
dinner for us????
