Bread

[Paul Arden]

That was me testing your observation skills.

[Graeme H]

Well, you made me hungry, at the very least!

[Paul Arden]

I can send you the jar if you like.

The solution to back-country bread making is to build your oven out of flat rocks and line it with tinfoil. You then build your fire underneath and a second small fire on top. Of course if you are in a river valley, good flat rocks can be hard to come by.

I was thinking about actually digging out the oven but best would be a mini camp oven. I need something easy that can be done while relaxing around the fire, talking about fish and women. I don't want to knock myself out

Aren't Vegemite and Marmite both made from yeast extract?
Another waste of yeast.

[Paul Arden]

That's a myth Pete. They're actually made from dried cat shit.

make bread in backcountry - what on earth for? Bake/buy a decent sourdough and it'll last you a week - especially if it's got some rye in it. Slice to order. Add butter, cheese, salami etc as required.

Vegemite, being an Aussie delicacy, is made from marsupial cat shit. In a strange twist of fate, Marmite is just normal cat shit, but you wouldn't pick it from the name.

Because we get bot bored with eating the same old shit! A few years ago Ronan explored tinfoil cuisine. It had its moments. This year I'm exploring bread. And if you're going to bake bread then where better than outdoors in the New Zealand mountains, while camped next to a river? Do we need a purpose for everything in life? Life is only about finding purpose. And mine is now bread. I have the gift...

Cheers, Paul
