Wyoming Milk Pail Meal (aka Horhog)

Unbelievable, among the similarities between Wyoming and Mongolia (exact same low population density, wide open spaces, herding animals and mining industries) they prepare special food like this:
Meat and vegetables (albeit different kinds) put into a milk can over an open fire.
Feeding of the multitudes.  The only question from our Mongolian friends who saw the pictures was: "Is it sheep?"  In Wyoming, it most definitely was not, rather a fancy kind of hot dog, which they didn't want to be called hot dog :=}

That's okay, our Mongolian leader/friend informed us that Horhog (what they call this meal in Mongolian) literally translates as 'poison garbage'.  

They both taste much better than they sound, and always a memorable meal.
