Traditional Bonfire Night Food

No need but plenty of places can be found on web.

Wrap sausages up in individual greaseproof paper then wrap 3 or four stacked together in double layer of baking foil, do the same with baked potatoes split them cross-ways about an inch deep 1st (a smear of oil or butter will help stop them sticking) you can do the same with burgers. Put into the edge of the bonfire (near enough to be hooked out with a metal hook or pole but not so far out as to not cook or to far in so you can't reach) leave all for at least 30 minutes (longer maybe for the potatoes)Alternatively shove them into an oven preheated to 200 degrees. 35 minutes all except potatoes which you may need to unwrap after 30 minutes and put back in for another 10 to 15. (you can always bung them in an appropriate dish in the microwave to finish them off.) A good idea is to include some veggie burgers or veggie sausages for you vegetarian friends (and some of the meat eaters might like to have a taste as well). Hope this has been helpful and that you have a jolly good bonfire night.

I think the baked potatoes wrapped in foil is good. I add some onion, peppers salt and pepper butter and maybe just a bit of cheese and or bacon.

I am known for my bonfire stew tho. I make it in a cast iron skillit and put it on an old refrigerator rack over the coals. Sometimes I put bisquits right on the top of the stew and it all warms up together. I have never had a complaint yet. NO Hot Dogs at my fires ...but plenty warm tummies.

I also make a cobbler in another dutch oven and do it the same way and have a hot beverage warming too, I even have a can of whip cream to top both.

Last night for bonfire night my mum served up, pie,mushy peas an black pudding, jacket spuds with cheese, chicken curry, h/m tomato soup and h/m leek and potato soup, followed by bonfire toffee, gingerbread men and parkin.

Although I recently discovered parkin is more of a Yorkshire thing.

Sausages (NOT hot dogs) and Mash in an Onion Gravy

or

A hot vegetable spicy soup and crusty bread

or

Baked Potatoes with various fillings like Beans and Cheese

All would have been cooked in the bonfire, but for safety, your best cooking them on your BBQ or Cooker.

In the United Kingdom, there are several other regional traditions that accompany Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night: the eating of bonfire toffee, a dark type of toffee made with black treacle; parkin, a cake made with the same black treacle; toffee apples, the traditional 'apple lollipop', which consists of an apple coated in toffee on top of a stick; and baked potatoes, which are wrapped in foil and cooked in the bonfire or its embers. In the Black Country, it is a traditional night for eating groaty pudding.

Baked potatoes....especially good cooked in foil and placed in embers of bonfire, Parkin cake, Treacle toffee, Toffee Apples and must have the Mushy Black Peas with a little vinegar on......yummy!!! Can't believe everyone has forgotton about the Black Peas!!!

No recipes needed. Soup to start. Then pass round the hot pork sausages on stick for easy eating. A burger or two to follow and of course the potatoes roasting on the edge of the bonfire.
