Risotto round the campfire

In the Telegraph
"Who would have thought when the Scouting Association formed in 1907 that good old traditional camping grub would be side-lined for gourmet dishes that get served in top class restaurants?

"With cookery programmes dominating our TV channels, Scouts are determined to give celebrity chefs a run for their money.

"We want to do our best to re-create their challenging recipes in the great outdoors."

Risotto was the top campsite meal with and incredible 32 per cent of votes, paella second with 28 per cent, followed by veggie and meat skewers with 15 per cent.


Burgers came in fifth. Not clear what fraction of the risotto is prawn risotto.
