First Snack When A Hitting Town

[Marta]

I read some where that chocolate milk is now the perferred recovery drink for professional cyclists. A lot of good stuff in it.

I'm not normally a milk-drinker, but partway through my hike, I started buying and chugging a bottle of Nestle's chocolate milk. A month or so later I started buying and chugging TWO bottles of milk.

Everyone knows Guiness is good for you! Full of Vitamin B. Beer first - always - and then a cheeseburger and fries. And more beer. 2nd (and last) night Helen we ate at the steakhouse by the bridge - huge platter of fried oysters, baked potato and salad. And lots of red wine. Amazing.

[Shea Groebner]

Bar-b-que and about 6 six beers.

[Christopher Robin]

ICE CREAM always.

There's a new Glaceau Vitamin Water on the market, it's cranberry/grapefruit with glucosamine. It's also really good. If available, it'll be my first town drink this year. Otherwise, for pure sugar rush, nothing sems to beat Hawaiian Punch or Mountain Dew.

Glaceau Vitamin Water?????? How does that mix with JD?

[Jack Tarlin]

Beats me, pal. I don't drink JD.

[Footslogger]

Beats me, pal. I don't drink JD.

========================

I do ...but I still don't know what it is or if it would mix well !!

On a training trip to the Ozark mountains last year, we had been on the trail 4 days when we crossed paths with a group of people on horseback. They were eating lunch when we saw them, and had an assortment of goodies: cokes, beer, little debbie cakes, oatmeal cream pies, burgers they were grilling, you name it, they had it. (I guess when it is the horse carrying the wieght, you can afford the luxuries.) Anyway, we stopped and chatted for a while, and I think they got nervous because of the way we were eyeing their food. Needless to say, they didn't feel obligated to share. I thought about oatmeal cream pies for the next two days until we got out off the trail. At the first service station we passed on our way home, guess what we stopped and bought? Oatmeal cream pies and little debbies never tasted so good!

The first restaurant I come to. If no restaurants, I will buy what tickles my fancy in the store. Usually I can't hold out for long.

I would have said a nice burger a few months ago but with all of this stuff that's been coming out about how unsafe our beef is becoming, I will switch my answer to pizza.

Durn cows have been tryin' to pack it out again haven't they?

didn't thru hike. but did stay out long enough to crave a chili cheese dog with stinky onions Oatmeal Cream Pies are where it's at! Found Moon Pies at a shelter i stopped at for lunch one day. Not normally a favorite but it was super yummy and broke up the maceroni monotony.

Seems like there R a whole lot of sugar crashing drunken hungry carnivores coming into a trail town near U!!! Oh, I meant Thru-Hikers. I think I've just come up with an idea to pay off my mortgage - sell ice cream cones, pizza, beer, and soda near an AT trailhead during the hiking season.
