RE: Family campout cooking
I don't know about the pineapple thing but when I was in Boy Scouts we had corn on the cob husk inculded.
We had soaked the corn in water overnite then peeled the husk back, removed all the hairput salt, pepper& butter on, pulled the husk back up.
Then wrap it in foil & put in the fire , right on the red hot ashes turn them a few times for a good 10 to 15 min. when they were done just open it up peel the husk off and eat it was really good.
We did alot of cooking with dutch ovens too like cherry cobler , pineapple upside down cake even mexican corn bread now that was really good.
