Well, I can say that the food I made was delicious.
I made a pepperoni pizza with olives, bell peppers, and onions.
I also made a peach/berry cobbler.
I was disappointed in the scouts performance food-wise. Two of them did not bring anything to eat with. Another did not bring any food to cook (lunchables). They have the expectation that they are going to mooch off the leaders (this may have been the first campout where they went in being told that they would need to bring their own breakfast, instead of the leaders providing it).
Since they still ended up mooching (not my choice, but the YM pres's choice), I think I will go to a system where the boys cook for everyone (including leaders). No fallback in that case. (just to be on the safe side, I will bring a private stash of power bars and triple threat bars to safely eat in my tent
).
Our next campout, we may do a hikein, and only use dehydrated food. That would be a good exercise.
