Was organizing my gear the other day (got the spring bear hunt on my brain) and cleaning up the stuff that didn't get done properly in the fall.

After I finished cleaning the camp stove I rememberd the time one of my students decided to heat up some ravioli by the fire. Being a nice guy I told him he should poke a hole in the top of the can, but he said no worries he had it under control.

Well, he rolled it a few times to get the heat even but the next time he bent over to roll it. ka blam. Ravioli tuxedo.:D

What's the worse meal you've had in the bush?
 
Semi frozen sandwich meat and frozen chocolate bars.... we had to wash it down with some Gibson's Finest.

Buddy brought over some Dempster caribou steaks:eek:

Imagine a pissy diaper smell coming from the frying pan:(
Most disgusting thing ever. Was living in a cabin at the time and winged the pan into the bush.
They make surprisingly good snausages though!

Not a camp meal, but my most unpleasant meal memory was taking a bite out of a fast food restaurant's cranberry muffin and getting an instant "dead mouse" background taste (followed by instant dry heaves). We called it the "MouseMuffin".

Not sure if it's appropriate to post this link but, if you're into fishing, you'll probably get a chuckle.

Not one meal really, but I had a hunting trip where I had the sh*ts so bad I could barely walk. (Moose Hunting)

Found out after three days that my hunting partner had been keeping the grease from everything we cooked in the same pan and cooking in it.

Bacon, pork chop, chicken grease all mixed together makes for one hell of a laxitive.

I laughed so hard I had tears coming down my face.
 
Not food but drink, I had just finished a cold juice box, and was still in need, so I opened a small milk carton and went at her, it was chunky on the way down but very cold , so I figured it was ice, it had gone bad. Only noticed after I had finished it. Never picked up on it because of the juice I had first.
The smell of the empty carton, Very very gross.:rolleyes:

Went to dinner @ a friends. He just got back from Africa(not sure where) and he wanted to share his favorite meal with us.... Goat Curry! As far as I can tell the recipe is as follows. Take some goat ribs and cross cut them on a band saw, throw all meat and bone shards into a pot of swamp water and add 10(ten) scotch bonnet peppers. When you're not stabbing the inside of your mouth with a razor sharp piece of rib you're guzzling water and eating loaves of bread. Screaming hot is not a flavour and as such I have no idea what this dish actually tasted like.

Sweet Jesus that's bad.

But damnable funny:D
 
Hmmm. Never had a bad meal hunting probably because your so starved a hunk of deer #### tastes good.

The worst meal that i remember was at my dads. Parents were throwing a birthday party for my girlfriend/wife. Desert came around and it was some concoction with eggs in the recipie. It was supposed to be some light tasty desert but was actually like cold scrambled eggs. I had one bite and damn near puked. I was watching my g/f and she had only sampled hers. No one at the table ate much of it because we were all "SO FULL" .
On the way home i brought up how discusting the desert was and made a gagging sound. The g/f starts gagging for real and damn near puked in the car. Then she gets mad at me for making her remember the wonderful desert.:)

Ahhhh....Goodtimes....Goodtimes..:)
 
A budy recounts his as being " raw eider eggs and small pool mel####er"
He & an Inuit guide were stranded for a couple of days on a small island in the high arctic while doing bio-research. The eider down from several nests stuffed inside their shirts helped get them through the chilly nights. Seems their boat drifted off while they were busy working - and swimming out a few hundred yards to it in barely above freezing sal####er was not an option. Said the aircraft sent out to look for them was a VERY WELCOME sight !
 
I had been walking all day - probably put on better than 20 miles, in swamps, muskeg, and over rock out crops, it wasn't like walking 20 miles along a road. Anyhow, I'm pretty much done in when I get back to my camp, I get a fire going and and throw on a tea pail full of water, and drop in a bag of Magic Pantry shepherds pie. Before the water started to boil I was asleep, and when I woke up that stuff was good and hot. I start eating it, and the mashed potatoes stick to the roof of my mouth and burn me pretty good, although at the time I didn't realize how bad. Next day the roof of my mouth hurts, and when I touch it with my tongue it feels slippery. Well now I'm scared, I didn't even think about burning myself the night before, all I can remember is that the day before I was dying of thirst, and so I took a chance and drank from the still water swamp I was in. Oh man, I knew that would get me some day, what the hell have I done to myself. A few hours later I figured it out, but you know, I haven't drank standing water since.

Back in the hunting day... it was venison steaks. It was not that the venison was bad or anything (reallee enjoy the fatty stuff stickin to the top of mouth)... it was the pulling of the deer hairs out of my mouth that was rather annoying.
 
I was at a scout camp that was teaching survival techniques . they showed us how to do everything from first aid to shelter building . The main lesson was cooking in the wild . We were given a few ingrediants to make a two and a half course meal . I ate it and was extremely satisfide . About two hours later I whent back to the fire to warm up and noticed a solitary potato wraped in foil on the fire . Skip ( the leader at the time ) said "rule one: if you cook it you eat it . That potato had been cooking for three hours at around 700 degrees C . I ate it . It left me as slowly as it went in . Sadly not the normal route food takes .
