this thred is for us to describe in vivid details ,exactly how we like to munch out really big after hitting a store and going back to the trail that nite.what im looking for here is some hudge pig out . the kind of road crossing ,with a small grocery.when hikers sit and focus all their streangth on consuming fats. how much ice cream and milk and how about talking about food after a week of hiking on the way into town.and what about pancakes?are they not in fact gods gift?personaly a quick ,mini munch out for me, is a quart each of ice cream,milk,andsour cream chip dip,chips,large bag and plane with salt or lightly salted.then i just walk off with eggs ,bread,and bacon and rarely..............6 cans of beer .

in gorham i fried two onions and a pepper in a stick of butter, then added a whole kielbasa and stuffed it all into a two-foot loaf of bread (twas pretty messy).....all washed down by a pint of b & j's, of course.
i munch 355 ml at a time.

the raw steak in the parking lot is one of the all time stories.its got to be tru. ya cant write this crap.but i have to ask ...really?..cause if you did that s**t belongs on film. we gotta make a movie about crazy hikers ,not a trail movie like trail magic or 5 million steps.things like what people do when there that hungry is so funny.like getting lock jaw from cookies.ive verged on lockjaw but backed off and took a breath.but passing milk thru my nose without interupting drinking is my thing.and i swollow without chewing routinely.how bout eating rice when your that hungry? the rice is vacumed up and you kinda choke/eat.choke eating is a nessesary skill one must posess if one is to look upon the big k ranch in the maine sky.

8 bowls of cereal in Erwin... with whole milk... after I stopped by Sonic for a burger, fries, and Sprite.

While on the Wonderland I ate at Sunrise (one of the few visitor centers in MRNP) a burger platter, chips and onion rings-all dipped in a vast tub of mayo. It was so gross, and yet so good. I hate mayo anyother time in my life. I believe I consumed nearly a cup of it.
After that I went outside, picked up my food cache and drank a 4 pack of Snapple ice tea, a bag of Doritos and a couple candy bars.
Burp.

I remember looking forward to a cheeseburger in the cafeteria on top of Mt. Washington for miles while I was hiking toward it. :(
When I got there, I found out that they didn't sell them; I was PISSED!!! :mad:

As I recall, the chili you brought to the 2006 PA Ruck was damned good.
(I was looking forward to trying more in 2007, but oh well)
My hot sauce of choice can be found HERE (http://www.thewrath.com/)...called "Apocalypse"; it's made with cayenne, habaņero and jalapeņo pepper.
Hot yes, but tasty as all-get-out... :p
You know those all you can eat casino buffets? I hitched out to South Lake Tahoe and hit one up. I tried to eat my $35 worth of meat, seafood, and sushi, and I had absolutely no doubt that I did--7-8 heaping platefuls worth of meat. I wasn't going to fill my stomach up with cheap fruits and vegetables! It was several hours before I was able to stand and waddle back to the room.

A liter of Mr. Boston's Canadian Whisky (made in Kentucky) and an 18 pack between the two of us. Minutes had most of the whisky and puked on dog crap then fell asleep next to it behind friendly's in Manchester Center. I then had to half carry him behind Price Chopper where he fell asleep on the ground next to the Battenkill and woke up soaking wet (it didn't rain) and covered in those orange slugs.

Thanks for the links. I think I will try out some of those freezer bag ideas in a couple of weeks during a weekend trip to the AT on the CT/MASS line.

I pulled this right from my journal where the trail crosses US-181 in VA...
"I went into the truckstop and gorged myself. 2 Chillidogs, 1 cheeseburger, 1 turkey & cheese sandwich, 1 ice cream, 2 strawberry milks, 1 orange juice, and a package of hershies chocolate almond bites. All for under $10.00! The sad part is I could have eaten more...I then threw on my pack and waddled up the trail 3 miles to the next shelter."
Over this past summer my cousin and I were looking forward to a pint of homemade ice cream somewhere north of Rutland, VT (i have a bad memory with the details) that we knew was coming up. Unfortunately when we woke up that day, it was pretty rainy and cold out. We had far to walk, and it included three peaks (or "ups") - a small, a medium, and a large. We decided that this called for an extra large ice cream. When we got there, we were so beat. Well, i was. She was pretty ok. It was freezing out but we still ate a whole pint each. I thought, no way can i finish this, my lips are blue, my teeth are chattering, and my stomach is so full. and then i looked down and it was gone! when we got to the shelter that night, we decided to eat a full dinner even though we were so full because we didnt want to carry around any extra food!! wow that was quite the gastronomic experience. sometimes i think - i never eat so good as i do on the trail!!
