hobo pack
n.— «We skin our trout, place it on tin foil, squeeze lemon juice over it and a pat of butter. Wrap the fish into a bundle (Boy Scouts call this a hobo pack) and place it in the camp fire coals for about 15 to 20 minutes. Butter and lemon pepper also work well. The cooking time varies so I check it after ten minutes. You can also do this in your oven at home.» —“Re: Rainbow trout” by Everett Usenet: rec.food.cooking Sept. 2, 1998.
