Hey foodies,
We are nearing that time of the year and this would be a great time to camp with your family or friends.And of course,food /snacks definitely should make it to the list for your trip.While packing your kitchen for a camping trip may seem like alot of work,it becomes easier with a little bit of planning for what you actually need and a few key ingredients.BUT remember the food you carry depends on how long you are going to stay or their expiry date.
1.Snacks
First off ,it's not easy to "live off the land" by hunting and gathering.Naturally on a safari you definitely get hungry at some point ,so carrying along some snacks will pay off.Common snacks to carry include;
Biscuits (preferably I love Oreos)
Crisps/chips
Gorillos
Cheetos
Chewing gum
2.Pantry
Have your on the go pantry (used for storing food).Some of the essentials you can have in your pantry include;
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Herbs and spices
Hot drinks(tea , coffee)
Condiments (used to give flavour to food)for example;mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise,hot sauce.
Drink mixes like Gatorade,KOOL AID or Emergen C
Sugar, honey
Flour and baking powder
Cereals (quick oatmeals)
Canned beans
Peanut butter
Fresh vegetables
Canned beef/chicken
Pasta
Crackers and marshmallows (for the s'mores)
Bottled water
Fresh vegetables.
*Bonus tip:
Unless you are a die hard for canned food ,you will need to take a fridge /cooler with you to preserve your meat , dairy and vegetables hygienically.The length of you trip or how long you are staying will determine the type of cooler you are buying.
3.Try the road side too.
-Rolex.
No we do not mean the luxury Swiss watch brand .In Uganda ,the Rolex is the commonest snack you can pick up on almost every roadside/street.If you'd prefer to make it yourself,you only need some baking skills to make the dough for chappati,eggs and tomatoes.Go check out the @ugaroll256 on Instagram for the recipe to know what we are talking about.
-fried cassava
Popularly known as 'muwogo' here in Uganda.You can buy well fried cassava from any food stall, depending on your interests.They are delicious to eat as you're starting your long safari drive.
Well then that was a detailed compilation of some of the essential foods you can have on your camping trip.I really hope you enjoy and try them out.
Love❤️
FORK GRAM.
