I used to live in Maine and Humpty Dumpty chips were popular, with odd ball flavors. Ball Park Hot Dog, was one. Now they are in Canada and you can get Roasted Chicken and lots more.

Car-camping: Bring whatever you like for food, but bring a heavy cast iron dutch oven and a roll of thick tin foil. With these two items I can make a baked ziti and a loaf of bread. Cook on an open fire and stoke it good before you retire for the night. In the morning you can cook cowboy coffee, bacon, eggs and toast on the embers. Backpacking (no fires): Strap an alumnium pan on the outside of your pack. When you're ready for dinner open your sack of wine, and enjoy the fine selection of cheese you brought. Fire up the MSR/Dragonfly/Whisperlite and get that aluminum pan hot and sizzle some steaks. Wrap them in foil while you deglaze the pan with a bit of the wine and boil your rice/noodles in some water and butter. In the morning cowboy coffee and oatmeal with fresh berries you picked along the way. If you are allowed to build fires cook the food on the camp fire instead. Cowboy coffee you just cook coffee in hot water (with or without some eggshells), and let the grounds settle to the bottom.

This is also a custom. In Japan it is rude to pour for yourself. During one of my power eating / drinking meals in Tokyo, the "pouring" turned into an argument by two of my hosts. A girl insisted that I drink Sake hot and a boy prefered it cold. I was subjected to alternating hot/cold shots of Sake until I agreed that hot was better.

If you read the fortune before you are finished with the cooky it is negated.

Just had a chicken dinner at the Bucks County Fair in PA. 1/2 chicken, 12" ear of sweet corn, fresh tomatoes, potatoes mashed with parsley, cranberry sauce, with 2 gallon pitchers of sweet tea on the tables and dixies cups for desert. The chicken was amazing and I had to bring 1/2 home, but even better were the fresh corn and tomatoes! The walking food included fried oreos, bbq pork, funnel cakes and kettle corn. No scrapple. No deep fried curds.

A few weeks ago on a shopping trip I had some wonderful tamales and tacos al pastor but the REAL TREAT was a pitcher of Pineapple Aguafresca!

My friend Charlie makes a Honey Porter ice cream (as well as an Irish Whiskey sorbet) at Big Dipper in Missoula MT, but You would need a lot of rock salt and ice to get that to Jersey.

For a matinee game, try John's Roast Pork in addition (or instead of) Tony Lukes. They are the best, and are on Snyder, right near the new Ikea. Look for the PIG.
