Mountain Risotto
When on a climbing trip, my favorite dish was always something quite odd. First you need a petrol burning stove, I used a Coleman powered on unleaded. Take a stainless steel MSR pot and dip it in a stream or river, try to get it from up stream of the dead sheep/pony/cow/warewolf. Bring the water to the boil and add half a cup of rice. Cook until soft.

Drain the rice, add a pinch of Safron, as much grated cheese as you can fit in, some chili flakes and gently heat on the hob.Push a stick through a sausage, and push the stick into the ground and push it close to the stove so that the flame from the stove cooks the sausage. Keep stirring the rice/cheese goo.

Once the sausages are good and brown, chop up and drop into the rice goo. Now consume with the appetite gained from a good hard mountain day.

Your next challenge, try to clean the pot using cold river water and the old scourer from the bottom of your rucksack. I always put the stove back on and boil up the water with a splash of washing up liquid in there too. This should stop you getting the shits in the hills and leaving little mounds of poo on every summit!

Stoves.
I got a coleman stove (sportster)?brilliant bit of camping kit,use it for fishing now keep the hands warm,your right about the dead sheep/pony/cow/warewolf thing ,always use to check upstream for nasties in the water.
Camped not far from an allotment, snuck in for spuds to boil,baked beans and sausages and spaghetti in the same pan.Cooked on a roaring fire.Fresh milk would be collected once the milkman did his rounds,and kept fresh in the stream.
As for washing dishes,use to use a clodge (clump of grass and earth) next to the stream.....Happy days

Agree about Coleman stoves
but were you camping, or being homeless there?
