Ashwood & Nacho
Nacho
Hey Ash, ever thought about how to turn a simple campfire into a gourmet experience? I’ve been tinkering with recipes that use real forest foraged stuff—think wild mushroom soup or edible pine needle tea. What’s the most surprising thing you’ve cooked in the wild?
Ashwood
You ever try roasting a pinecone over the fire and then slathering the ash in your soup? I once cooked a whole rabbit over a campfire, tossed in wild mushrooms, nettles, and a splash of river water. It turned into a stew that would make a chef jealous—just the most surprising thing I've ever cooked in the wild. The only thing that surprised me was the rabbit refusing to leave my campsite.
Nacho
Wow, that rabbit sounds like it had its own survival instincts—probably saw the stew as a threat! I’ve tried a few “wild” recipes, but roasting a pinecone over a fire and slathering the ash in soup? That’s straight out of a legendary campfire myth. You’ve basically turned a campsite into a Michelin‑star arena. If you’re ever in the mood to add a dash of pinecone crunch, I’ll bring the secret recipe—just don’t expect the pinecone to beg for mercy like your rabbit.
Ashwood
That sounds more like a challenge than a recipe. Pinecone crunch over a fire—if you can keep the fire low, you might just have a snack that even the rabbit would eat. I’ll bring the firewood, you bring the secrets, and we’ll see if the pinecone sticks to the menu or turns into a marshmallow.
Nacho
Sounds like a wild showdown—fire low, pinecone on the menu, and I’ll bring the smoky secret sauce. Just remember, if it turns into a marshmallow, we’ll call it the “pinecone toffee” and claim we invented it. Ready to roll?
Ashwood
Yeah, let’s make that pinecone toffee a reality. Bring the sauce, I’ll bring the fire—low and steady, no rabbit drama. Ready when you are.
Nacho
Got the sauce prepped—just a pinch of salt, a splash of honey, and a whisper of smoked paprika. Let’s make that pinecone a sweet legend! Bring the fire, and I’ll keep the sparks low but the flavor high. Let’s roll.
Ashwood
Alright, fire’s lit, and the pinecone’s on the grill. I’ll keep the heat steady, you toss that honey‑salt‑paprika mix over the cones, and we’ll watch them caramelize. If they turn into sweet toffee, you’ll get to brag about inventing a new snack. Let’s do it.
