This transformation of the humblest of ingredients to woodland gourmet was the creation and one of the many legacies of my grandfather, and for for all of those camping trips green chilies, bacon, hominy and onion were on the “To Pack” list somewhere around “tent” and “water”. As long as you have a fire and a skillet or pot or pan or giant empty coffee can, you are good to go. And in dire straits, “fire” can be translated as “stovetop”.
