Funny Name: Silly Campers Edition

This recipe title from Maine Coastal Cooking (Courier-Gazette, Inc., 1963) sounds like some kind of party that a children's nature camp would have the last night before they sent everybody home.


Everybody come to the Campers Skillagalee tonight! We'll have skits about mosquitoes and the kids who managed to get their canoe stuck in a tree! Plus, the closing song will not make you cry, though nobody will judge if smoke from the campfire gets in your eyes.

  1. I'm so glad Maine is also known for potatoes. All we get around here are those inferior ones from Idaho. At least they have you slice the potato and cooking it instead of the traditional wrap it in foil, dump it in the fire, and ending up with a raw center and a charred outside. It also sounds better than a corn chip sandwich.

    1. I can't imagine having a preference for where the potatoes come from.
