Cooking up a Northern Dish that was popular during WW2 due to meat rationing. Filmed while Hammocking in Cornwall just before a storm came in.

That is a propper Northern CBH.

Love the vids mate, keep them coming. Your recipes are very filling, with plenty of calories , essential when out in the bush during the Winter.

Thanks for the Diamond Fire Blowing Technique tip that you demonstrated. I will remember to try that when next out with my boy.

Thanks Chubbs glad you enjoyed it.
Plenty of exercise during the day makes for a good healthy appetite followed by a good hearty meal and you sleep in the hammock like a baby.

I am surprised you don't see more bushcrafters using the Diamond fire blowing technique it works brilliantly with a bit of practice and saves you getting all puffed out.

To be honest, I have never seen it before but sharing tips like these is what bushcraft is all about, and plenty on the forum will be trying it out if they haven't done it before.

Thanks for sharing.

Corned beef hash, with a proper gravy and a slice of bread to mop whats left. How good is that :D

Did you have a digestive with a bit of marg on, as your afters?

A bit light on the chilli for my knackered pallet, but it looked like a feast none the less.

Thanks for sharing T^

Eccles cake with butter on it for afters and a brew mate.

Plenty of black pepper and lea & Perrins gave it a bit of heat. LOL

I do like a bit of chilli meself though. I'll have to make something spicy sooner or later.

Digestives, marge and a blob of butter... is it me birthday Mother?

I once tried introducing some of my Cornish friends to the delights of the Eccles cake, I even suggested they put a bit of clotted cream on one (which I later tried meself, in the name of research and it wasn't that bad, messy, but not bad at all) but they were having none of it.

I had a similar level of success promoting the Kendal Mint Cake in its original form, but when I got a hold of a couple of the chocolate covered ones and suggested they think of them as being a big, thick after eight mint, that seemed to do the trick.

I wonder if you could make an Eccles cake style bannock bread? You would probably end up with something like a badly made scone, but it might be edible?

Finally, as a recovering L&P addict, I must caution you on how easy it is to fall under its spell. It starts of quite innocently with a couple of drops in a can of beans or on cheese on toast, then without really thinking about it, you find you're adding a hearty measure to a chilli, a casserole or a curry, finally before you know why, your loved ones are throwing plates of food at you, because all the can taste is LEE AND BLOODY PERRINS!!!

It is a slippery slope, is all I'm saying. Be safe out there.

My next sneaky (or not so sneaky) camp will feature a corned beef hash repast, thanks to your splendid video T^

Btw, cool channel. subbed :D

Now forget that Marg Colin its got to be Butter, Real Butter.

Those Eccles cakes are bloody messy and crumbly I am going to have to rethink the afters.

Thanks for the sub and I hope you take a couple of pics of making that hash.

I'm thinking Pea Soup and Suet Dumplings for me next cook up. As kids we would have 3 dumplings in our soup but only eat 2. Then after we had finished our soup on the 3rd dumpling we would pour some treacle on it, that was desert, Bloody lovely.

Butter, real butter?

That was a luxury when I was a lad. We had to make do with lard coloured with wee... and we were grateful to get it!

Anything with suet dumplings sounds good fella. I need to experiment in the camp kitchen more. I tend to make a meal and if I like it (and it likes me) I stick to it. So when I'm not just heating up a rat pack I just go with what I know. My current favoured 'cooked' meal, which this isn't really camp cooking at all, but was discovered through a combination of laziness and less than an excess of cooking water; is adding dry pasta to a spicy beanfeast mix and leaving it to cook, which results in a poor man's vegetarian friendly spagbol al dente.

Add a bit of pepper (white, black and cayenne) some chilli and a good shake of L&P's and you are laughing (you probably won't be able to talk much, but you can certainly cough in a laughing fashion).
