Mastering Canteen Cup Cooking: A Unique Rice Dish with Meat"

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

have a great weekend

[@timetobeast7261]

Something I really wanted you to know. I am not sure if you even care but I want you to know that cooking in aluminum isn't good for you and you should avoid doing it frequently like making tomato sauce in the aluminum foil cup you make by shaping it around the canteen cup studies show it leeches into your food and can lead to stuff like Alzheimer's and who knows what else probably best to stick with steel or titanium if you can help it.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol would make a cool shoulder patch

[@isomer13]

Thanks, Blackie. Always good advice.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

My pleasure.

[@johnbensonism]

Love these canteen videos absolutely the best!!!!!!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@steveturner3999]

Great variation on a canteen cup meal. So many options possible. Thanks for giving us new ideas Blackie!. Merry Christmas!

[@rosemaryblock7751]

You're giving me lots of ideas for simple trail meals, Blackie. Thanks!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad to help!

[@Seamus3051]

Many thanks, Mr. Thomas, for sharing your skill, knowledge and experience with the rest of us. As a backpacker, the efficient and utilitarian use of gear and resources is very important, as weight is a primary concern. Many of the "groundpounder / cooking series are pure gold. Cheers.❤

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad you find them useful

[@PaulDekleva]

I do a nasi goreng rice (Indonesian style rice) with a one serve tuna in olive oil with chilli. Quick and easy. Another is mee goreng noodles (which have 3 flavor sachets) and tuna. You are right Blackie, rice and fish is versatile.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it really is and often overlooked

[@bj1452]

Great Series Blackie !!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@broadlander1398]

Hi Blackie. We have similar microwave ready rice here in England but ours comes in pouches which are easier to stow in a pack. I’ve been using fish with rice for a few years now and a favourite of mine is smoked kippers (vacuum packed) fried in a little butter and placed on the pre-heated rice. This works well with a Trangia 27 as the fish needs a frying pan. Thanks for another great video and greetings from Norfolk, England. Regards Broadlander 🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@apar1560]

Pretty neat meal for sure ! THANKS Sir Blackie 👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Any time

[@joaquimrasi6822]

Looks tasty and definitely another great option shared, thank you. Greetings from Norway

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you for watching

[@moparmarkstpac]

I'd almost swear I could smell that cooking Blackie!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

lol had i done this at camp i would have walked way out before pour out that fish juice every opossum and racoon gonna come running

[@mikebrown7649]

Another great video Blackie! I like smoked oysters with some cheese and crackers for a high energy snack during cold weather. Hope you have a great Christmas Blackie.

[@jeffrichards5106]

That looked fantastic, Blackie. Thank you. I've never had Herring before. I'll have to give it a try. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

hope you like it

[@KarenBlystone]

Blackie, this is the Pa Wanderer l really enjoy your tips and content. Still remembering you in prayer after your hospitalization. I am planning a trip into the woods after the first of the year. Wish me luck, it's been a good while since I was out camping.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Glad to hear you're back out in the woods! Best of luck.

[@adrianwhite358]

Greetings from Ireland..thank you .

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Hello there!

[@jamessotherden5909]

thank you for this series. It has opend my eyes to all sort of possible combinations of canteen cooking.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@patriotpreacher43]

Another good one, thanks Blackie. You are giving me ideas for lunches in the office!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

great place to try this stuff out

[@ScottCarlson-cz7wj]

I've got a plastic cup of rice and can of herring on hand right now. I'm going to head out to the stump today, perhaps with tomato bouillon and soy sauce. Thanks Blackie.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

that should work well together

[@SheilaDuzan]

I eat this type stuff often (except that i have only had the precooked bags of flavored rice or i have my own home cooked 'leftover' rice). There are so many flavors of rice and pastas, so many different types and flavors of meats, and canned vegetables are great to mix in too. Canned tomatoes okra and onions, mixed with a bag af precooked Spanish rice, and topped with a can of lemon pepper flavor tuna in olive oil is a damn good meal. It's always good to have some shelf stable foods. I've always ended up eating the tuna before I have tried this; but, I've got the idea in my mind... I've seen a video of a man puncture and insert a wick into the top of a can of tuna in oil; he boiled water and heated noodles from the tuna oil fuel, then added in the also warm tuna meat.🤯

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

That's a great idea, thanks for sharing it.

[@davidneal6920]

Great hack Blackie 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

my pleasure

[@jasonshepard-me8tj]

Walmart has fajita spiced chicken in an envelope. One jalapeño rice cup and i got a down and dirty burrito.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Sounds delicious.

[@johnbensonism]

You can even kind of toast the tortilla on that Tranio or a different alcohol stove and getting it just a little bit crispy. It really makes the tortilla pop a little bit and you know maybe putting a slice of cheese on it too or something I’ve been doing a lot of the canteen cup, partly and due to, getting inspiration from your videos I really really like your cooking videos. I think I really enjoy it and thank you for sharing the stuff you’ve learned over the years and in a thoughtful way that you do. I appreciate it, buddy.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

I’ve been enjoying the canteen cup cooking lately too and the tortilla idea sounds great!

[@pB-vp3mo]

I am really enjoying this series of canteen cup cooking! When this video started and fish was mentioned my thoughts went to fishing in the north country and the predators there. It would be great to see you talk about this style cooking and camp safety and some of the problems involved taking the predators into account. Are the containers smell proof? Are you inviting a predator to lunch or dinner? I am learning new ideas from your cooking series. I guess I was stuck in a very limited choice meals mind set. Thank You for this series!

[@worm_vaquero]

Beans, fish, and rice; all the essential nutrients man needs to thrive.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yep

[@kamaeq]

Substitute "meat" (yes, fish is not meat, but close enough, so is cheese often enough). Add a piece of fruit and some veggie and that is the basis of what we fed refugees when I was in Panama in the 90s.

[@worm_vaquero]

@kamaeq no, fish has the Omega 3 fatty acids that "meat" does not

[@kamaeq]

@worm_vaquero The point is the protein, not arguing over detailed nutritional differences.

[@worm_vaquero]

@kamaeq ok, fish is protein, I was speaking to the nutrients

[@Roller822]

Thanks for sharing Blackie. Man, you guys in So. AL have WAY more choices with the can fish , than we do in St Louis. Atb, john

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it will vary from place to place i was in walmart so they should have it on the web site if nothing else

[@Roller822]

@@BLACKIETHOMAS Good idea, I'll check the Inter-Webbs. Thank Sir.

[@protectpersevere2030]

Great video blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Thanks for watching!

[@HarshmanHills]

eating good there

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it really is

[@reneschaap8091]

goedenavond Blackie eet smakelijk !!!!👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you

[@DaleMorris-t3n]

Thanks, Blackie!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Looked delicious. Will definitely give this a try. I don't think my dog will be getting any. She stoled her mom's pizza last night😂😂😂

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

that's a funny dog!

[@Hippo0529]

Thanks for posting Blackie! I am really enjoying this series as a learning camper and outdoorsman. I do want to know more about the stoves. I see you almost exclusively use that little alcohol stove, but wouldn’t that be a pain to transport and store for long times? What about leaks? I would like to learn what you know about other kinds of stoves. All I have is a tablet stove, and I actually have never used it.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have used big propane stoves (bbq grils) and Coleman gas as well as propane, this small trangia serves me very well

[@GaryGraham-68]

Howdy Blackie I have a canteen and a cup and carrer but no lid Great video thank you Sir

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You can always use a piece of aluminum foil as a lid.

[@williamsisk2897]

From experience I can say make sure when using fish that your cook set is stainless and not aluminum. Once upon a time I used my German 3 piece canteen set (aluminum) to cook rice in a bag and added canned fish. My cup smelled like fish afterwards..

[@NeilBates-k3t]

I particularly like microwave rice there are many different flavours one third of a cup of water part steams the rice I do like fish I shall definitely take some canned fish a quick and easy meal

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

good idea

[@NeilBates-k3t]

@ thank you Blackie when I was twelve my wonderful mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday I said a tent although I am 73 I am still that 12year old boy she was also a great cook and taught me to appreciate food good luck friend keep going

[@johnbensonism]

Hey Blackie, might want to consider doing a canteen cup video on using them them. Tuna packets them them chicken flavors tuna packets with some nor rice or some of that rice like you say I’ve been doing a lot of that lately and I think your viewers might like it’s you using the packets in the water for immersion and putting it on a tortilla orputting it in the cup immersion heating and then using the water to put that to make up with the rice or the chicken Alfredo and putting it on a tortilla

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

oh yea i have found bbq flavored tuna thats pretty good as well

[@DavidWilliams-uj2rb]

Thank you

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

you are welcome

[@jeffunderwood672]

Thanks Blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

your welcome

[@stefanocappella9612]

Looks good .

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@jeffmccausland3569]

Thanks Blackie!

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

glad to do it

[@mikelgeren149]

Taco sauce and rice .

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

That’s a great idea!

[@SmithandWesson22A]

Many times, when I took my dog camping, he loved to steal my tuna and rice when I turned away for a moment. He learned, and I didn't 😅

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Sounds like you've got a good camp dog!

[@rahtoren6385]

Yeah done made quickie then shoveled driveway still canned not hungry after later. It sticks.

[@mattflannery4448]

❤

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks

[@elrondsoukup29]

Fish: chicken of the sea 😮

[@Richard-r1x7d]

😀👍

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for watching

[@denisross2923]

A possible alternative is to cook the rice and mix the fish into the rice then add some curry powder

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

Sounds tasty

[@mudpuppy1431]

I could see this working well with canned chicken.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it will

[@markbrandli]

Really like the canteen cup cooking series. The only problem I see is that processed meat or canned meat has so much salt. 10 years ago I started a journey to get control of type II diabetes, with one step being to lower my salt intake... it worked and I was able to quit all meds and have been able to go 8 years now. Just saying this so people will think about the choices. With that being said, that combo is one that I would use , but not too many times in a row.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

You make a good point, thanks for sharing.

[@finaloption...]

Crappie, Crappie, and more crappie 😁

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

[@rahtoren6385]
