Foil Dinners

Scouting’s contributions to world cuisine are many: omelette-in-a-bag, Dutch oven dump cake, tin-can bread, and, of course, foil dinners: meat and veggies and flavoring (traditionally Lipton Onion Soup mix and/or Tabasco sauce) wrapped in foil and put on the coals. Our innovations for this particular meal were a cabbage leaf bed to help hold in the moisture, and pre-cooked meatballs to reduce the cooking time (Cub Scouts get hungry after a day of canoing and archery and compass work).
