Thread: Nasty Foods.

  1. #1

    Default Nasty Foods.

    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.

    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.

    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!)

    Default Two come to mind...

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

    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.

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