Sausages and potatoes on a campfire

One of the best possible things to eat while camping. The smokey meat and the crunch of the potato skin (with its soft, almost mashed interior) is wonderful. Cold butter and tomato sauce are essential.

The sausages were a bit fancy for camping: pork and fennel ones from K&B in Healesville, we bought them on the way up to the Cathedral Range state park.

Here I am, watching things cook. The potatoes were just wrapped in foil and buried in the coals for around an hour, the sausages took about 15 minutes on a hot part of the fire.
