Eddies Rig



I must describe Eddie's rig. It is a basic deisel engined Citroen C15 which has been converted to satisfy most of his needs. The passenger seat has been removed to accommodate his bed; but that's just the beginning. All of the rear panels have maximised, compartmentalised, carefully constructed to contain food supplies, kitchen goodies, utensils, fasteners, ropes, tape, mug, plate, knife, fork, spoon, can opener. His two burner stove is concealed under the carcass of the bed: he has both gas facilities, propane for normal temperatures and butane for altitude and cold. Probably most fick norvern 'erberts won't know that propane at extreme temperatures doesn't  give off, any heat whereas butane does: lesson learned.
He has one small toolbax wiv one of evrifink inside. He constructed his bedroom trailor from scrap aluminium, hand drilling and bolting together, which he built in fraance, after many visits to the abundant decheterries. I shall endeavour to describe this engineering miracle a little later becawse it awlso involves a woman, another driving force in Eddie's physcee.
Time foa one of Eddies signature dishes.


Mediterranean Pizza 


Usin' a liberated pizza base from the back of Carrefour start layerin' the top wiv anyfink else that has been robbed from a skip. Here is the trick. Not 'avin' an oven Eddie then places the pizza in his frying pan sealing it wiv a lid. Then it is furvva seeled wiv a small rock on top. On a low heat the pizza will cook. It looks like shit when it comes out but if you close your eyes you can't the difference between Eddies and the real thing. Try it, you won't be disappointed.
