What's the most interesting way you've ever cooked something?

You hear about people in desert climates baking cookies in their cars.
I've heard of people wrapping food in foil and cooking it in their engine compartment during long drives.
I've seen the foil wrapped potatoes under a campfire thing done.
Mom used to make "Sun tea".
What are some interesting/improvisational methods you've seen employed?
I've heard rumors that people put steaks in ziploc bags and let it sit in warm water for hours.

I've cooked a turkey breast this way while camping in wilderness areas
build a fire, wrap the breast in foil, place in coals, go hunting that morning, and the breast was done by the time you got back to camp for lunch

OP, my actual answer is that I bake pies in my dutch oven in a hole in the ground. Layer the bottom of the hole with hot coals, place in dutch oven, then cover lid with coals. When you smell pie, it's ready.

I’ve got some friends from South Africa so a braai would be the answer. If you’ve never done it, find a way. It’s just an incredible (and incredibly long) and delicious South African barbecue.

I’ve never ever done it, but those crazy Koreans bury cabbage in the ground for a month, let it rot, call it kemche.

I have heated up canned soup over a fire made from dried cow shite while camping out west.

I had to google what braai was. The internet says that it's basically South African for "Barbecue" and that it's simply BBQ over wood, and that it's culturally an all-day affair with a lot of wine. Is there anything particularly unique about the method, special equipment etc?
It sounds like the tradition is similar to our cochon de lait. Except without the pig or miller lite.

I heated up a can of chili on the radiator in the stadium dorm.

Wife's grandma is a notorious terrible cook. She was the wife of an Air Force officer so her meals consisted of eating at the Officer's Club. Anyways it's a well known family fact that she once cooked salmon in the dishwasher. Not sure how, but it's still brought up to this day during family gatherings

I've made many gallons of sun tea over the years and as a kid and into my teenage years my cousins and I would camp on the Mississippi river batture many nights in the spring and early fall months.
We'd build big fires and set our poles out with bells on them to alert us if we were getting bites. For food, we'd bring hot dogs and buns, boiled eggs and we just had to have potatoes wrapped in foil to put under the bed of coals from the fire. And for a treat afterwards, the obligatory marshmallows on a willow stick.

Camping at Lake Fausse Point buddy of mine brought ribeyes and we were camping on an island with no grill to cook them on. They had brick pavers surrounding the fire pit so we put 2 bricks in the fire and got them hot and cooked the steaks on them.
They actually turned out really good with some Tony's on them.

Spent years using only the fire to cook my meals while camping before I finally broke down and bought a stove last year.
Now I'm hungry thinking about it.

I've done a cochinita pibil (not a whole pig, but 2 butts).
You dig a pit in the ground and line it with bricks/rocks, burn a fire on it for several hours and then slow roast the butts wrapped in banana leaves (in a roasting pan with water) in the ground by covering it with more leaves and soil. Dig it up 8-10 hours later, unwrap, and serve.
It's a huge pain, but fun for a party.

I've heated up an MRE or two using the chemical heater leaned against "or something".

Spit roasted a goat in Iraq using a tanker bar (heavy steel bar). No seasoning, plates or utensils. Just pulled pieces of meat off with hands and chowed down. This was early 2003 and we were tired of MREs.

Yeah, I've "boiled" a few meats before searing them.
Also, once cooked a gumbo over a campfire a few years back.
