Nasty Foods.

[Alligator]

There are certain foods some folks love and others just find plain nasty. What foods have you brought on the trail to eat that others find gross?

I'll start out relatively mild with Cream of Wheat and mustard greens.

The thought of cottage cheese makes me nauseous so I can't eat it.

Large curd or small curd?

I accidentally boiled white gas for coffee one morning.

Luckily, I discovered my mistake -- whoosh!!! -- before it was served.

I took a bunch of friends out on their first backpacking trip. We stayed at the old Stover Creek Shelter when it was on what is today the BMT just off of USFS42.

One guy ate a tin of sardines just before bed. All night long we heard the guy on his left say "Roll over. Your breath stinks" Eventually the guy on his right would wake up and say "Roll over. Your breath stinks" This literally went on all night long.

I picked up the habit of adding black pepper to it. Yum! (Don't do it to someone else's or serve it that way though... )

I eat alot of things now that did not appeal to me 25yrs ago.
Cottage cheese is one of them.

And don't consume other things.

Keep an eye on the sodium if you are eating it for health reasons.

[mudhead]

Cabot's is reasonable. Sodium is hard to avoid in prepared food.

I do avoid prepared food when I can.

Now if I could lose the dang sweettooth. Or put it in it's box for awhile.

Keep an eye on the sodium if you are eating it for health reasons.

You can rinse the cottage cheese in a wire mesh strainer and reduce much of the sodium.

You brought cottage cheese with you on the trail? No wonder it made you nauseous!

Some people say that my GRITS are nasty but I counter their argument with the fact that oatmeal is the nastiest of all hot cereals (unless of course it is consumed in the form of Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies!)

I like to mix up calamari and Hellman's and leave it in the sun for a few ours. Mmmmm. Deeelish.

For some reason many people find the LNT practice of "drinking your dishwater" to be disgusting.

Well, only part of it is LNT. I carried those little bits of food that are now stuck to the pot for a couple days, and by God they are mine, not a snack for some mouse.

It's the floaties.

[warraghiyagey]

LNT is a fine concept. . . like many others, until the Zealots get ahold of it

Cuttlefish (close relative of squid) jerky and sushi-grade seaweed.
