While stationed at Fort Knox during the early 1970s, we spent our summers camping. My parents made Spam sandwiches and fried spam and eggs for some of our meals. Sometimes my mom made camp fire potatoes—sliced potatoes, onions, butter, salt, and pepper—wrapped in foil and tossed on the hot coals. Nothing tastes better than food cooked on the open grill.
