I feel that camping taught me a lot about cooking; especially with backpacking; You learn what will keep, what's heavy, what ingredients you can replace with what, and what, with limited ingredients you can make into a good meal. Examples: way too many combinations of sealed chicken/tuna, macaroni, and broccoli; eggs, pasta, using oil and water without/instead of milk, the food safeness of dried sausage.
