In writing to Advertisers mention Forest and Stream. 
Difficulty is often anticipated in 
preparation of such dishes as oatmeal, 
and cooked breakfast foods generally. 
As a matter of fact, it is just as easy 
to cook these foods over a grid on an 
open fire, as over a cook stove. And 
if the tourists are alert, they will have 
fresh milk to eat on their breakfast 
foods, too. They may, perhaps, have 
their breakfast food at night, but what 
odds against that? 
OME dishes are especially attractive 
in the outdoors. Thus when the 
bread becomes dried out and hard, if 
it is broken into a frying pan with the 
bacon grease, and then wet down with 
a cupful of water, covered and fried, in 
the steam, stirring occasionally, the 
old “bread scouse” of sailor fame, or 
Dutch “fried bread” is had. The dry 
slices, dipped in eggs beaten up, with 
a cup or two of milk, are fried in hot 
grease, and this is French toast. 
Flapjacks are according to the an- 
cient formula—flour, one cup, one 
spoonful of baking powder, one spoon- 
ful of salt, stirred thin enough with 
water, and then fried in the pan, with 
grease. But cornmeal, oatmeal, sweet 
corn, chopped up beef, oysters, clams, 
or almost anything edible, from fish to 
grain, stirred into the batter makes 
“fritters,” and always, an egg or two 
stirred into the batter improves flap- 
jacks. And perhaps a hand full of 
raisins in the last two pansful will give 
all hands the “sweet” that appetites 
demand for dessert. 
NFLEXIBLE recipes, menus and food 
lists are an abomination. The tour- 
ist seeks new experiences. If he keeps 
steadily to the two or three home dishes 
for his meals, he will lose a great many 
excellent foods. He must constantly be 
alert for the “barbecues,” “hot dogs,” 
“specials to-day,” and local, regional 
and even individual favorite “messes,” 
if he would eat the best in the place 
where the best is had—of each thing. 
There are certain conditions when 
the tourist party will find itself need- 
ing some special dish. Thus on a hot, 
dusty and monotonous drive across 
miles on miles of breathless, uninter- 
esting country, a pint of ice cream for 
each individual may change the whole 
aspect of the day, in retrospect. Ice 
cream, with perhaps a handful of soda 
crackers or cookies, or cake, will serve 
as a whole meal, giving nourishment in 
plenty, and by the same token, chang- 
ing the landscape from one of heat- 
stricken woe to a pleasant and cheer- 
ful land. 
@z the other hand, one may have en- 
tered a cold, autumnal rain storm, 
with sleety chill. Roads are difficult. 
Scurrying dread of being stalled per- 
haps for weeks settles upon the driver, 
and all hands grow gloomy, and as , 
hunger increases the day wanes. Some 
where ahead is a town. Little by little 
the distance is cut down. Signs say it 
is “10 miles,” then “8 miles” and then, 
to every one’s disgust, a sign looms in 
the gathering mist, declaring it is “12 
miles” (literally, signs say these 
things!). But at last there is a glim- 
mering of lights in the distance. The 
road twists down and around into the 
valley—most towns are in valleys— 
and in a dark and deserted street one 
sees the sign “Cafe,” or “Restaurant,” 
or “Famous Lunch Room.” Hungry, 
chilled through, with perhaps twenty 
miles yet to do to good roads—and they 
must be made before the mud is too 
deep—something to eat is sought. Then 
a bowl of hot soup, “Special vegetable, 
with beef to-day” will improve the road 
ahead forty per cent, at least! 
OURING without having several 
quick meals ready in the car may 
lead to trouble. The unexpected is sure 
to happen at times. Thus if the car 
is stalled by any difficulty, from flat 
tire to broken gears, a grub box con- 
taining food that can be eaten without 
cooking may save real hunger. Canned 
goods fresh fruit, bread, crackers, but- 
ter (in glass), peanut butter, will serve 
for several meals even under conditions 
where cooking is out of the question, 
but it is feasible to cook with a small 
gasoline ‘stove almost anywhere, even 
on a city street, though this is likely 
to be embarassing to any but the most 
hardened tourists. 
It follows from practically all tour- 
ing experience, that throughout the re- 
gions of gardens, orchards, and vin- 
yards, one may in season obtain the 
delicacies of the country. But, out of 
season, a region is apt to be barren 
of the specialities. A few weeks one 
way or another, even a few days, will 
make a great difference in what one 
obtains. Thus across Indiana, the wa- 
termelons may just becoming ripe, or 
just gone. In the mountains of Ten- 
nessee, where chestnuts may be found 
in great quantities, it may be too early 
—and probably will be, for when the 
chestnuts are falling the roads are apt 
to be impassable. 
OWEVER, it is worth while to look 
ahead in planning a trip, and con- 
sider the foodstuffs available, and 
watch out for them. The great celery 
beds on the black-soil belt in New 
York, the fruit belt just beyond, the 
grapes west of Buffalo, are worth see- 
ing on a special tour. The same may 
be said of peaches, apples, pears, in 
their respective regions of Delaware, 
Oregon and Pennsylvania, and in the 
mountains of the Blue Ridge. 
Always, in purchasing foodstuffs, one 
may find happy mediums between the
