First night food

[morph100]

Now when I used to camp is was always a Wednesday night BBQ, meet the neighbours share stuff round have a little camp site party.

i have now evolved into a campervan east caravan dweller, again we BBQ and meet the neighbours.

However this year we are thinking of cooking a big batch of Chilli to heat up once we are there and some crusty bread etc.

Anyone else have any first night food rituals or advice?

Going to do chicken, bacon, leek pie. Do the juicy bits at home and some crunched-up filo pastry on top in caravan

 

Served with a side of light ales!

Really though this thread was gonna be an invite  

Edit: We had lobster something or other last year. Was okay.

Crisps, biscuits, a net of baby bells then off to the park for a large mezze platter

Drewstrat's Veggie Curry, if only to ensure our systems don't seize up for the rest of the week.

Probably a BBQ but our first day tradition is pre mixed pimms, usually a couple of 2 little bottles for the 2 of us but planning on doing 4 this year and inviting the neighbours, if we get in at a reasonable time on the Tuesday this year of course.

plannng on doing a couple of vodka infusions as well

A big dollop of MDMA washed down with some rum. Might then chew my own face for a few hours.

Might sneak in a paella or something first, who knows.

A solid diet of lager, rum and bollocks at the efest meet. Wouldn't swap it for anything

Always get a bacon roll to start off with, then a steak & cheese baguette from that Aussie steak place.

Wander round the site with a huge smile on my face and a pint of cider-bus cider in hand. Stop at whichever stall takes my fancy.

I don't think that will work as a starter, might ruin the main course!

My friend will be cooking his special 'Peanuts on Bread' if anyone's interested.

You have to supply your own bread.

You've got to be a sadist, or have an incomprehensible love of the longdrops to mix that with chilli. You're asking for trouble there if you ask me.
