Food!!

[MrSimon]

Since this my first NACFEST, I'm curious what you guys do for food. I know there is a BBQ on Saturday night, but what about breakfast, lunch, and dinners for the other days?

Do folks go out for dinner, or is it campfire cook'n?

[5spd_xj]

My plan was just to see what everyone else brought... "oh, nice, cheeseburgers, huh? hmm? hmmmm? nice. those look good. wow, you're a good cook....what's that? do i want one? ohh, i could neve.....Sure."



:D

Good question though. Honestly I think my buddy and I were planning to just bring a cooler packed up and a grill and just hang out around camp for the most part. Would be cool to learn of other's plans too, though :)

[SeansBlueXJ]

Aside from the Saturday BBQ it's each to his own, some totally camp cook others totally dine out, and most mix it up to each.

[Andy in Pa.]

Its sort of "every man for himself" for all of the other meals except the BBQ. For me, breakfast is usually something quick (breakfast bar, breakfast sandwich at restaurant or convenience store). For lunches, quite often we'll bring lunchmeat/cheese/bread and make sandwiches when we stop for lunch on the trail. For dinners, we usually cook at the CG at least Thurs/Fri (Wednesday has typically been "pizza night" for us). There will be restaurants and grocery stores close by too, so no need to haul too much food up with you if you don't want to. Many folks go out to eat, and quite a few cook at the CG, so you usually have a choice of what you want to do on any given evening.

LOL.... "Quick, hide the food, here comes *The Mooch* again!!!"

[5spd_xj]

Yep, I just blew my cover huh :spin1:

[asp]

i think i'm gonna bring a cooler full of food... camping basics (hot dogs, kielbasa, beans, eggs in a bag for breakfast, cold cuts for lunches, the usual) oh... and beer. mmmm beer.

speaking of beer, what are the alcohol taxes in that area, and are there any good local breweries that sell to local package stores? oh sorry... packie is a mass thing... liquor stores :P

PA is strange with our laws, beer distributiors carry cases, State Stores liquor and wine, and bars/restraunts only usually have 6packs. Some Wegmans etc do but i think it goes hand in hand with their take out food as the law is. But there is always some intresting local brew's to be found for sure.

[asp]

so basically i should bring my own good beer and maybe hope to find some down there? maybe...

Plan on drinking Yeungling Lager.... the brewery is less than an hour away.

There is a beer distributor right in town:)

[asp]

uummm... its a Lager. But Yuengling has many other flavors as well. Porters, Stouts, Black/Tan....

[SeansBlueXJ]

mmm vitamin Y... get your daily dose.

[OverlandXJ]

I'll be camp cooking, wanting to try out a few dishes.

Yuengling sux.. unless i'm out of Molson.

[old_whitey88]

I'm usually the elected cook of my group. *sighs* does that have anything to do with me being a woman? if so i'd be pis*ed.

[old_whitey88]

mmm vitamin Y... get your daily dose.

--and when i run outta that...Smithwicks:skull2:

OK, cool we'll probably be hanging out at the same fire then. Besides, I don't think YOU have a nick-name yet..... we'll have to work on that.:viking:

Why do i need one? I like laying low...

Egon, Dita, Whitey and..... Sean ..... sorry, it just doesn't roll off my tongue, we'll have to consult Ben and see what he can come up with :D:D

[5spd_xj]

Why are you gonna consult "Ben"? If you don't even have a nickname for Ben that is used consistently, at least not according to that post...

[Andy in Pa.]

... dude...... you haven't met Ben.... Everyone ELSE named "Ben" will need (and probably WANT) a nickname, because there is only one "Ben"....

At NAC-Fest, I typically use Bens name in phrases like:

D@mmit Ben...
#@^&*%$# Ben....
Lets do it Ben...
Good Job Ben...
Ben will do it...
You just dented your truck again Ben.... can't tell where though...
"Who the H%LL was that?" "Oh, thats just Ben...."

:jester::jester::jester::jester::jester:

Why is that the part of the post that scares me...

:jester::jester::jester::jester::jester:

How about, "$%*t you didn't wanna do that Ben"
"Ben I think your stuck AGAIN"
"Ben I think you just broke it again"
But I do like the "who the Hell was that oh just Ben"

Damn near fell of my chair laughing.


STROKER

[5spd_xj]

Judging by that, I dunno if I'll need one either... I mean, when I fill the "Ben"s in with "Travis" alot of those sound really familiar...

[asp]

i frequently get elected to cook to. works fine for me because i despise washing dishes.

[5spd_xj]

I vote that you use a stone and not a pan.

[RCman]

I'll be there for eating and annoying the cook about when it'll be done.
I'm so pumped for this, I can't wait.

Oh, and as per cooler rules (at least as I know them). You need two. One for food, and a larger one for "beverages". ;)

[asp]

I'm so pumped for this, I can't wait.
x2

[5spd_xj]

IMO they should both be equal size... as long as both are in the "large" or higher categories. :)

Sure......you can have this burger that dropped on the grou....err, right on the hamburger roll, when I flipped the patty in the air! :chef::rolleyes:

I'll probably be bringing some beer from a local brewery here....http://www.ottospubandbrewery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3

If anyone wants me to bring some extra to try, let me know. I've tried most of them, they're all delicious.

Always bring extras, trades are always welcome!

[js_customs]

Ok...I'll get a bunch of different kinds, depending on what they have in bottles. Or maybe I'll see if they have a variety pack or something.

LOL, nice.

[asp]

i would like some black mo stout, not much... maybe a 6 pack or so.

Ok. I wrote it down with my reservations for the cabin so I'll remember. They don't sell 6 packs at the brewery, just 22 oz bottles and 12 packs of 22 oz bottles. The one grocery store has a six pack shop though and I'm pretty sure they carry it there...I'll check it out this weekend.

[asp]

a 22 would be perfect, actually. it's a good sign that they serve 22 oz. lotta good beer comes in that size. thank you, sir. would you like me to get anything local from this area to bring, in trade?

for reference, some local breweries are amherst brewing company, berkshire brewing company, opa-opa, people's pint... those are the ones i can think of offhand. all of them have a pretty good selection of at least one type of IPA all the way to stouts and porters...

[old_whitey88]

I guess calling you my usual expletive is out of the question. :wstupid:

The honey pilsner from Amherst Brewing Co. sounds good. A 22 of that would be awesome if they have it.

[asp]

their stuff comes in growlers only like 8 bucks + $2 deposit... does their stout come in growlers?

mmm... beer.

Heh yeah sorry for screwing up the thread :D . Beer's more important than food anyway.

ASP, they do have growlers. I have one so I dont need to worry about the deposit, I'll just get it filled before I go. I think it's like $9 or $10.
