Erik and I went on a trip to Missoula. Our goal for the trip was to avoid gastrointestinal distress as our last trip to Missoula was full of bouts of fleeing to the bathroom.
While on the road, one finds themselves eating things they just wouldn't – like Subway chicken wraps and popcorn shrimp from the deli counter of Walmart.
We threw the popcorn shrimp, which had been fried in a baking soda batter, away. Not before I tried to make them better with a spicy barbecue dipping sauce. The sauce made the popcorn shroimp go from god awful to god awfuller.
It was horrible stuff.
The subway chicken wrap couldn't be called horrible because it didn't taste like anything.
It was a day of learning to follow your food instincts. While I don't want to be a snob about food (because it is all waste product in the end), I do think Walmart and Subway will be on the list of things to avoid on the road.
