For your oven, dig a decent pit in the back garden and fill it with all the bits of tree you have left over from your neighbour’s revenge sortie and place an assortment of manageable stones on top of the wood and then produce a flame and set fire to it.

Allow the wood to burn away and let the stones fall into the pit, clear away some of the ash and place you balls of clay on the stones cover them with a few branches left over from your tree and then back fill your pit with ash and earth. Leave to cook for around half an hour per pound. When cooked remove the earth and carefully extract your balls and split the clay apart. Pull back the leaves, which you can eat and then enjoy you meal.

Yes it’s hard work, but lets face it you’re not short of a few logs and you will be hard pushed ever to eat such a tasty fresh cooked meal.
