What do I eat on a road trip that will cover 2500 miles and host 2 very large dogs as driving partners? If this trip were merely through the United States, I would plan on grocery store stops, Farmers Markets and fun out of the way restaurants. But alas, I am driving through British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. If the rest of what I’m about to say is offensive to you Canadians out there, I am sorry, but it’s the truth. The food north of 100 Mile House (what a name for a town) just sucks!
I’m whining, unfortunately. I could cook my own food, this is true, but then I would have to find my backpacking stove and something tells me it is in storage in Alaska. I could focus on raw and processed foods… I made a trip to Trader Joes (www.traderjoes.com) looking for inventive road trip food. I settled on fruit leather, nuts and some animal like crackers. I had to try the cookies, boy am I glad I did, blah! They will not be going on the trip to Alaska. The cookies in all of their cinnamon glory will be gifted to my neighbors.
I will continue to sample the fare as I traverse north through Canada, supplementing with produce along the way. Someone should really develop a blog or a website reviewing restaurants along the ALCAN…
