I guess this is a good place to put this thread.
What sort of food have you brought in the past that has proven to be great? What would you warn against? What are some of your best-kept campground gourmet secrets?
Last year, the good items were eggs, bagels, cream cheese, coffee, chips, bananas, and jarred salsa.
the bad items were guacamole, pico de gallo-- they turned after about 4 hours in the van. phew.

I usually don't eat much at Sasquatch. I am amazed at how my body can function on a diet of booze, beef jerky and power bars.

I usually don't eat much at Sasquatch. I am amazed at how my body can function on a diet of booze, beef jerky and power bars. ^THIS! Turkey Jerkey/trail mix/lots and lots of booze. That's usually my weekend menu, too. If I'm feeling hungry inside the fest, I may split a personal pan pizza or pretzel with the boyfriend. However, if you're a foodie looking for some treats to eat, StormyPinkness has posted a recipe some where on the boards for some amazing looking energy bars that I'm really looking forward to trying. Some people take it super seriously and whip out the camping grills and throw some kabobs and burgers and eggs in the morning. It all looks and smells awesome, but it would be too much for me to schlep up to the Gorge from the east coast. I love cooking at home. There's this blogger I get recipes from and she's got a cooking cuisine section. Some great hints/ideas. Hope this helps fortheloveofcooking-recipes.blogspot.com/search/label/Camping%20Cuisine

sweet! those recipes look awesome. I am a serious foodie-- and one of those people who whipped out the propane grill last year for some early morning eggs and espresso, though I flew in too (all thanks to my Vancouver friends). I guess I'll just keep a stash of carrots in my backpack!

My friends and I survived off multiple Nutella sandwiches last year. This year, they're getting an upgrade. I've recently discovered Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter; it's like nutella only all-natural and better. A sandwich with that, natural peanut butter and granola is delicious.

We did breakfast burritos one day last year. We bring a two burner propane stove. PBJ, carrot sticks, nuts, crackers, energy bars; I bring baggies of these into the venue for snacks. We had hot dogs for when we got back to the site and were hungry last year. But it really does depend on what I have been doing all day whether I am hungry or not. More snacking than big things usually.

Pita and hummus. Canned ravioli. Apples, apples, apples. Granola bars. Sandwiches (meat is questionable, unless you're eating them in the campground when the meat is fresh out of the cooler.) I was camping solo last year, so I didn't bring a camping stove or anything that needed to be cooked. This year I'm definitely bringing one.

vitamin water, regular water, took some yogurt for the morning, granola bars, pre-packaged carrots and apples for ease of transportation into the venue, a few energy drinks, some junk food (chips, etc), we took burgers last year but only ended up making them on the first day because they were questionable at best by the 2nd day. If you're taking a camp stove take some soup or chili or something that you can just open and throw right on the heat. hot dogs = camping.
I ended up eating in the venue more that I'd like to in the future, but such is life. When I was at camp I generally didn't want to prepare or do anything but drink my face off and wander aimlessly through the endless sea of drunk/stoned people.

i love wading through the sea of stoned people. i kept giving away food and water to people wherever i found them. this reminds me, though, my friend called and left a voicemail for me, and it said, "d, they're giving away tea and cheesecakes at the vip lounge! hurry. come here." They weren't.

I need to invest in a camp stove this year because our neighbors were nice enough to share their FRENCH PRESS COFFEE and that's fucking brilliant and do want.
Last year we had PBJs/turkey,cheese,mustard sammiches that we made at the site and brought with. Powerbars & Chex Mix are great too. Last year we ended up getting the munchies and buying a lot of food. So... don't forget to prepare for munchies!
Also, as long as you fill it up to the top, they don't take the time to tell if your soda/water bottle is sealed or not. They don't have time for that. So fill a water bottle with vodka and have fun!
