>>1737201Car camping is camping. I'm not trying to imply otherwise. It's just such a different kind of activity that it's pointless to talk about gear, food and techniques without clarifying that you're talking about car camping and not backpack camping (or canoe camping, bike camping, etc.).
>>1737205You don't have to bring food that will spoil, like steak, chicken or eggs, but you can still cook up some decent stuff in camp. For example, pasta (bring some tomato sauce in a jar). Oatmeal for breakfast. Steamed vegetables. Pizza (bring a prepared crust and your own sauce, cheese and other prepared toppings).
There are also a lot of good foods you can bring that don't really spoil. Chips and salsa. Cheese and crackers. Fresh fruit. Bagels and cream cheese. Sandwiches--either prepared at home or bring the materials to camp, so that way you can prep a portable lunch and take it with you on a day hike or fishing expedition.
