Something like this:


Obviously we do not have access to an Aga in Donard Wood so if you can pre-cook your offerings so that they just need warmed through it will leave more time for messing about around the festive campfire.

If I've missed anything out feel free to add it in... I don't want to hear anybody claiming the leaves that are sticking out of the turkeys rear end  

Reply below, stating what you would like to provide and I will put your name beside it above.  I Bagsy not doing the dishes

If Chris could do some of his honey glazed turnips that would be awesome... they tasted great last time we did the fire cooking!

I added in a couple of names from the other thread so we can see how we are getting on with the menu.   

[RedLeader]

Honey glazed turnip

Sounds like something Baldrick would make in Blackadder

[DryBag]

I'll bring a ham.

[Timbo]

I'll bring the chipolatas wrapped in bacon and maybe rustle up some mulled wine too

[Dowser]

I'll bring a ham.

Nice one DryBag... I thought the ham would be the last to be picked from the list. Good Lad!!!  I'll look forward to munching on a slice round the campfire. 

I'm in sounds great - love the flyer too nice additiona with Mr Socky! I will bring the chipolatas wrapped in bacon - god I'm starvin now thinking about it

Great stuff Timbo.  Chipolatas are one of my favourite parts of a Crimbo feast. Bring on the Pigs in Blankets washed down with a fine Mulled Wine 

[Dowser]

I should have said before... We cater for everybody here on NI-Wild so if there are any Vegetarians amoungst us coming to the Christmas Camp let me know and I will bring you one of these... Yummy:

[ChuckMcB]

I'll help out Timbo with the mulled wine.

Should be able to trundle a couple of these up to Donard wood no problem

[suspectmonkey]

Ahhh the classic aqua-roll... that's actually not such a bad idea

they couldn't have been that good, they were meant to be parsnips!! Lol but yeah I'm sure I can do it again.

Probably should have mentioned I'm splitting the Turkey with Dowser incase anyone thought I was just up for the free ride

First I heard of it... Free Loader 

[RedLeader]

Well, splitting the cost and likely carrying half. Not cooking it on account of the fact no-one wants a dose of Xmas food poisoning!

I'll do the spuds as well then, not like a bag of parsnips and a jar of honey is going to break the bank!
