Gumbo is one of our favorites as already mentioned. Fresh caught trout steamed vegetables and rice pilaf...makes me want to head up to the lake. Ribeye stew is a one pot favorite. Here in Louisiana fried shrimp, boiled crab, crawfish. There must be some Dutch oven officianado's in the truck camper forum...OK I'm hungry, gotta go. 
AAAEEEeeeeee!!

Do you suck the heads? I have Louisiana roots, and I think I am the only family that never had the interest.

From a Moderators point of view, I think had the title of this Thread been something like "Best Meals in a truck camper", or "With limited space, what are your best meals in a TC?" This would offer justification to being posted on the TC Forum. If the intent is not unique to TCs, it should be on another Forum.
It is probably obvious to most, that with the space we have, some of us are very creative in our meals. Some of us go places with our TCs, other RVs cannot go, giving us access to unique on the spot foods. I think it would be interesting knowing what TC cooking tricks people have up their sleeves.

Wayne Nope, but I know a lot of people who do.

Moderator If I was the OP I would probably change the title...
We opted not to have an oven in our camper. My grandson LOVES biscuits so what we do is fry them in a pan on top of the stove on low heat in a covered pot. If you get the flacky kind you can pull them in half after you have cooked both sides and that will give you two fresh sides to fry. Use this technique if you have trouble getting them to cook enough. They will rise just fine but if you have too much heat you can burn them before they get done all the way through.
Clear as mud huh?

IMNSHO, we tend to have our own community here with diverse topics.
Look at all the technical threads on solar, batteries, charging, generators, and so on. RV.net has a technical forum, yet we discus that here. Toy Hauler folks tend to boondock, and there is a boondocking forum; yet we talk boondocking here. Toy Hauler folks have toys, off road and so on, yet we talk that here.
We have trip reports and we talk trip plannning here; yet there is also a roads a routes forum.
So why not an occasional thread on food among the folks here?
This part isn't aimed at you Wayne, but among the grumps: Click the  beside the thread, and it goes away forever. Guess what, it's faster to clikc once than it is to grump about this thread.

Ultimately, I guess it's safe to say that doing any kind preperation is a pain. 'Instant' and 'quick' are probably the key things to look at in the truck camper world unless you prepare at home and just heat and serve.
Now, back to tires, water heaters and dry rot.

Is the above not reasonable, does it require a great effort, why is the controversy even needed?

We have had and continue to have "our own community here with diverse topics". The TC is unique.

Of those things mentioned, the TC's have some unique needs and restrictions. There are times one of those subjects should be moved (and often is) to the Technical Forum because it is not unique to TCs. Usually, more information is available on the technical subjects, in the Technical Forum.
Matthew_B wrote:Toy Hauler folks tend to boondock, and there is a boondocking forum; yet we talk boondocking here. Toy Hauler folks have toys, off road and so on, yet we talk that here.
As I previously stated, when the poster is interested in one of these subjects that are unique to their RV type, they post in the RV type Forum. If it is general interest, it typically is posted in the Forum unique to that subject, not RV type.
Matthew_B wrote:We have trip reports and we talk trip planning here; yet there is also a roads a routes forum.
I really do not think you have given this much though. It is so common that a given RV type has different interest, restrictions and other needs, that there are trips that could be better planned in the RV type Forum and probably more often in the Forum unique to roads and route planning. Why have different Forums, just use on to cover all subjects and RV types?
Matthew_B wrote:So why not an occasional thread on food among the folks here?
Actually, they are pretty common. Personally, I find them interesting if they are unique to TCs. My wife has several cook books, as I am sure others have. I do not read the TC Forum to find a cook book. A cooking experience unique to TCs yes, a cook book no.

I take none of this post to be directed at me, and I appreciate the disclaimer. I have two roles on RV.NET, one is as a RV.NET member, the other as a RV.NET Moderator. As a member, I only need to think of myself, and can post accordingly. As a Moderator, I have to be more aware of the rules and policies of RV.NET, and cannot be as self centered as I can be as a member.
If you reread my post relative to it being unique to TCs, I hope you will see there will not be anything to legitimize what you refer to as a "Grump".
I am responding to your post, to be informative, not to be a lecturer. It would be easier to just Move or Delete, but I prefer not. If everyone understands, I think there will be more tolerance, and with less issues.
