OK, my experience of camping in the USA is strictly limited to what I see on the TV and I was wondering how much of what I see is just fiction and how much is really how things are done on a campsite. For example, I was watching Twin Peaks last night and two adults, Cooper and the Major, are sitting round a camp fire and, according to David Lynch, they had searched around for the perfect twigs and then pushed on the marshmallows that they had clearly packed for the camping trip. That got me thinking, as an adult, when you go camping, is the first thing that you think about regarding food going to be 'marshmallows'? Do you start your camping evening looking for just the right stick?

In the wider context, what was the impact of the Mongols having invaded so much of Europe in the 1200s, how did their presence affect the economy and general relationships, especially with England but also I suppose Rome.

I have read that the king of England even sought help from them in the crusades so were they considered legitimate rulers of their conquered lands?

I use Poland as the example mainly because I saw they made it at least that far, does Poland also still have any remnants of the Mongol rule today?
