Hi, Jasonb
Yes it tastes as good as it reads. My mate cooked this when we where fishing on the Darling river many years ago. I  don't  think I cook it as well as he does, but I have had no complaints, left overs on toast the next morning goes down well. We include this recipe on every camping/fishing/ shooting trip.
