Yes, but not Instant Gruel. You'll need to make it from scratch.

how about a nice and easy big pan of pottage aka soup to put on your grill

almost every home had a veg garden and so pottage was a common meal to which they added meat if they were so fortunate!

I was going to suggest a wild boar, but maybe that's a bit too "Asterix".
