Eggs.
Take a uncracked egg and put mud all around it, then just stick it in coals. Mine took about 25 minutes.

I have a whole chapter on this in a book I have.
1. Rock slab cooking- you can stand a thin rock slab verticle in a fire, and just stick your meat to it. The fire cooks one side, and the rock cooks the other.
2. Stir-frying- take a slab of bark, like cottonwood, put your food on there, and add in hot rocks to cook the food.
3. Stone oven- make a stone oven out of rocks, and cover it with dirt. Make a good fire in there for a while, then scrape the coals out. Put your food in there, and cover the door opening.
4. Steam pit- dig a pit, and get a good fire going for a while. Scrape out the coals, and put a layer of greens down, put your food on, cover with more greens then bury in dirt. This one will take you hours, and hours to cook, so be patient.
That was kind of breif, but they're all from Thomas Elpel's book, "Participating in Nature." I really like this book, and it teaches you a lot of great skills.

I've cooked corn by letting a fire burn down then putting the cobs - with the husks still on - among the coals. I forget how long it took, but it was real good.

1 way of cooking an egg is to use moss, just put the egg in the middle of the moss you collect, place it in the coal of the fire wait 10 minutes. Done deal.
