Coals-baked breakfast

On a cold Saturday morning in the wilds of Danby, our Primitive Pursuits trainers showed us some of the mysteries of cooking over slow-burning coals. This tasty dish is an onion, hollowed out to hold an egg (both hen and duck eggs were available). They baked together over a slow coals campfire, yielding a tender and luscious  hot camp breakfast. The accompanying bagel was grilled by placing it face down in the coals. Mmmm.
