But the key to making Campfire Taco Soup Supreme is, that it must be prepared over an open fire. No other method of cooking will impart the earthy, smoky flavor that makes it so exceptional.

Gourmet Open Fire Cooking

March 15, 2019March 15, 2019 Marvin Wilson

Ever since being a boy, I have loved camping. Real camping – the rustic kind, sleeping in tents, fishing and foraging for food, and cooking meals over an open campfire. I was taught, early on, how to do gourmet open fire cooking.

I cringe when I see other campers preparing their “meals” – which most often are hot dogs, or marshmallows, or maybe, for the more “advanced” campers … even a grilled hamburger!

As far as “side dishes” typically go, they are munching on potato chips or Doritos, and perhaps some store-bought deli items.

Not me. Nothing against hot dogs and hamburgers, I love ’em and will sometimes cook and eat them.

I also do love a good open fire-roasted S’more as much as anybody. But when I go camping, whoever is with me is going to eat very good. I’m talking about real …

Nostalgia BSET300 Breakfast Station

January 6, 2016January 7, 2016 Marvin Wilson

I don’t often do product reviews, but this Nostalgia BSET300 Breakfast Station, a 3-in-1 “Retro Series” cooking appliance is worthy of taking a bit of a tangent away from our main focus here. Of course, Ethnic Foods R Us is all about cooking recipes from ethnic cultures the world over. One of the “ethnic” cultures we cover is campfire and campsite cooking, which is very popular in the United States and Canada, as well as some European countries. Since that is the case, I felt it appropriate to present and review this handy little appliance.

Now, don’t be misled – the Nostalgia BSET300 Breakfast Station is not specifically designed for camping trip cooking. It comes with a 3-prong electrical plug that requires a grounded electrical outlet that will provide at least 1500 watts of power. So it is primarily designed to be a convenient appliance in small home kitchens, or in mobile homes and RV’s with limited space. In those situations this little marvel can be a tremendous asset.

But if you are camping with a camper/trailer that has electrical power, or …

Māori Boil Up Recipe

November 3, 2015 Marvin Wilson

This New Zealand Māori Boil Up recipe is taken from our New Zealand Cuisine page. A truly classic and authentic example of the original food created by the Māori people, descendants of the Polynesians who first migrated to this majestic island. New Zealand Māori Boil Up is a festive meal. Invite lots of friends and family over for dinner!

You can use almost any kind of meat you like. Traditionally the most common vegetables are kumara (sweet potato), watercress, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. But again, you can vary the ingredients as much as you like and still produce an authentic and super delicious New Zealand Māori Boil Up.

Traditionally Māori Boil Up is cooked in the hāngi. The hāngi is a kind of earth-oven, with heated rocks in a pit cooking the foods, wrapped in leaves and covered with soil. However, this New Zealand Māori Boil Up recipe can also be made in a regular modern kitchen, using modern cookware. For a post on how to build and cook with a traditional hāngi, click here.
