Who here hasn't experience the magic of a marshmallow over a campfire?

[gorcorps]

Who here hasn't roasted marshmallows? I know there's got to be a few out there who has never been camping and hasn't ever had the chance to partake in caramelized jet-puffed sugar. You folks are missing out

 

[TruePaige]

Oh man I was out making smores with my wife and youngest cousin the other evening.

The only marshmallow that counts is this one: The original.

 

[skyking]

Picture this: Wife and friend are getting a little tipsy and making smores. A marshmallow hits the ground and they think it's fine for the kids to give it to the Jack Russell Terrier. He decides its not for him, and tries to spit it out and then use the paw assist with each paw.
Now we have smeared marshmallow on both cheeks and paws, quickly picking up all available pine needles and debris.
I get to go bathe the dog.

So they drank all the booze?

That's even worse. :|

I'm a permenant city dweller and I've gone camping many times but I prefer to cook the grizzly bear I recently killed over the camp fire than marshmallows.

No option for 'No, and I've been camping a lot"

That's because if you haven't roasted marshmallows, you haven't been camping. You've just been sleeping in a tent... just like a hobo. The only thing that separates hobos and campers are the marshmallows.

I've gatta be better than the ATOT food snobs and actually catch the food myself rather than thinking I'm all cool just for cooking it myself.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I have had roasted marshmallows many times.
I've had them camping as well as not camping.

Smores are very delicious.

I live in the suburbs in an unincorporated part of town, so I have a fire pit in my back yard and make bonfires whenever I want.

 

[oogabooga]

I had them while camping and they are delicious. Thinking that there are people who haven't experienced this makes me sad actually.

 

[zinfamous]

OH yes indeed.

And introduced the GF (who is Latvian) to the wonderful world of s'mores over the 4th weekend. There were about 15 of us hanging out, and all seemed strangely excited and happy that someone was just introduced to it.

 

[Kelvrick]

Does over a bonfire at the beach count? Don't think I've ever had marshmellows when I've been camping.

 

[Zolty]

I took the gf camping for the first time last year.

Grizzy bear is for little girls. Last time I went camping I killed the ranger and roasted him over a fire with a marshmellow shoved up his ass.

That's manly.

I'm a city dweller and I hate camping, but having a roasted marshmallow can easily be accomplished within city limits. Barbecues, backyard bonfires, even gas grills all are a perfectly acceptable substitute for a campfire. The marshmallow doesn't know the difference.

Still, I think that roasted marshmallows go downhill in a BIG hurry. The first one of the year is heaven. The next one is awesome. The one after that is very good. And then the magic is gone and they're just sugary goo. None of the ones after the first one can compare to it and you can never really enjoy one to the fullest until the first one of the following year.

Need a Wood Fire.

The only thing better than Campfire roasted Marshmallows is Campfire roasted Hotdogs. Haven't camped in a longtime, sigh.

No you don't. I've had them off wood, charcoal and gas and they taste the same.

My uncle is a forest ranger in Northern California. One day he was out on a hike with some other rangers and volunteers and they stumbled across a large patch of marijuana growing wild. Apparently it's illegal for marijuana to grow wild in a national forest area, so they had to pull it all out. To dispose of it, they tossed it on a giant bonfire. And took lots of pictures. And, according to my uncle, got strangely hungry and started giggling at nothing. Ah, to be a volunteer for the forest department near Eureka...

So I see your marshmallow roast and raise you a pot bonfire. Now THAT'S camping.

Oh no. Wood smoke makes your eyes water, Gas = No smoke = No fun.
