An annual rite of passage for my in-laws is the traditional Hobo dinner, where we cook in a trash can. The can is lined with heavy aluminium foil and beer and water are added to create steam which cooks the potatoes, corn, carrots, cabbage and sausages. This year the hobo dinner was one of the best yet, all the food was perfectly cooked and nothing burned -- ahem, not that this was a problem in the past.
