That was it - committments! Thanks Clarkson. What a shame it has become so big. Your absolutely right, it was a great cheap family weekend. We have been to smaller van meets ie, Stanford hall but that one has no overnight camping, no entertainment, so not quite the same. We have friends who go to the Awestry (again forgive my spelling) meet and we may well try that one next year.

You mean Bus Types...

An awesome show so I have been led to believe. They haven't released the dates for 2008 yet. But the Mrs and I and definitely going to this one, a fraction of the price of the big shows. I think Newquay Dub Club will have our usual convoy going. Another good value show is Vanwest at the Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset.

2 quickies
first night stew
tin corned beef tin taters tin peas tin carrots and an onion [chopped].
open tins chuck in pan heat and simmer for 5 mins.
add salt and pepper if you like and add a sachet of brown sauce if you fancy.
eat with bread chunks
feeds 4
easy to do especially after driving for several hours and only takes 10 mins. including prep
2 x tins of asda chicken in white sauce [can't remember the name but cheap]
add chopped onion and lots of chopped green peppers and cooked pasta
feeds 4 takes 10 mins including prep
goes very nice with warm garlic bread but if you don't have an oven you can't do that.

Well done Clarkson, your spot on even with my terrible spelling. Although we dont own a vdub anymore, we still like the shows and nobody seems to mind we are 'aliens'.

Have you tried this?
Hi all
As a quick, but tasty dish:
tin of stewing steak in gravey
packet of savory rice
tin of peas or carrots or grean beans
So, you boil the savory rice (10 mins) gently simmer the stewing steak (5 mins) then add your veg. Serve.
Its that simple yet delicous our kids love it they call it camping food. We sometimes boil new potatoes but if you like you could you smash.
ps. serve with lashings of brown sauce, preferably Daddies

Fish
Well, I have just had a very nice fish meal.
Talapia coated in whole grain mustard with a white wine sauce!!
All home made by Kath except for the fish!!!
What a meal!!!! with red wine of course for me and white for Kath.
In our house you can have red with fish and I think it is better!!!!
Just my opinion!!

Talapia
It is pink before cooking and turns white after cooking.
It can be expensive, but from Tesco it is on offer every now and again and that is when we buy it!
Kath says it is quite meaty but not like tuna, more of a white fish.
The fillets are not big and need to be filleted by the fishmonger!
It is very nice!
Try it with the whole grain mustard and white wine sauce or the fishmonger told us to try honey (too sweet for me)
hope this helps

fish in van
We were in Inverary a few years back and bought a pair of the famous Loch Fyne kippers, Had them in a lay-by for lunch. (C***van at the time!! ) I swear the smell was still there when we sold it a year or so later!! The squaw likes fish more than me but anytime we have it we barbie it, wouldn't cook it in motorhome, smell would annoy me driving along the road!! But I'm gonna have to try the Jamaican fish , sounds delish!!

Mmmm Loch Fyne kippers, i bet they were well delicious.
I would never cook fish inside my van though, having my new van smelling like Billingsgate Market would just be too traumatic.
I cook fish outside on a BBQ or a flat camping stove. In fact i also dont like cooking fried breakfast in the van either, so thats also outside.
Food tastes better cooked Al Fresco anyway.
I mostly do a lot of Pasta & Rice dishes. Bolognese, Carbonara, Rissotto, Paella, Curry, Chilli. Also Corn Beef Hash & anything with new potato's (Tried the tinned ones once, they were disgusting)

dont do it
cook outside its more fun and no stink for the next year inside your living space
i have adapted one of the side lockers to acomadate a 2 ring cooker with grill on a slide out shelf with a plug in gas connection and with the awning out around 3 foot it is in the dry if its raining
we would like an oven but we are suposed to be camping so luxurys can wait till we get home
