Title: Re: What's your all time favorite backcountry meal? Post by quetikurt on Apr 21st, 2011 at 6:06pm
Okay, I couldn't resist....
A perfectly aged piece of venison backstrap cooked over an open fire and basted with a melted blend of soy sauce, butter and brown sugar. A side of instant mashed potatoes is a must to soak up the "gravy" and it must be finished off with a pan of no bake cheescake......unbelievable! For those who know, the backstrap must be eaten med. rare. A close second (for those of us who don't have access to walleye on a regular basis) is a traditional shore lunch. You know, fresh walleye dusted with Shore Lunch and quickly fried in peanut oil with a side of fried potatoes and onions (extra crispy of course). Note: This meal must be accompanied by ice cold beer that's just been pulled up from 40' of water after setting there while the fish were being cleaned and potatoes being cooked. We simply take a few rocks out of our mesh anchor bag, add 50 feet of parachute cord and tie it to a life jacket. A few paddle strokes from shore while watching the fish finder and bingo..............a Q fridge in 40 feet. You can also keep vacuum sealed foods (cheese, butter, bacon, sausage, etc.) for several days in the hot summer months. Also works great for chilling beverages in nalgene bottles. My favorite breakfast is a toss up. It's either breakfast burritos with egg, bacon, cheese and grilled onion with a touch of hot sauce or, Barstad pancakes with dried cranberries and real maple syrup with a side of thick cut crispy bacon. We really enjoy our meals in the Q!!! |
