Yellowstone Weiners

When we were on vacation in Yellowstone Park, we drove into a campground to eat and sleep. We only had a tiny canvas pup tent, and we slept in that and the back of our pick-up camper. When we arrived at dark, we had to fix our supper over a camp fire. We had boiled weiners in a cooking pot.

When we started to eat them, we realized we had cooked them with camping fuel, and they tasted terrible.

So my oldest daughter and my 3rd oldest daughter would not eat the fuel-tasting weiners, but my 2nd daughter and I gobbled them with relish. We were so tired and hungry, the fuel taste didn't bother us in the least. But the next time we ate, we were very careful not to mix fuel in our cooking pan.
