Screaming – you call this is food?I have left my culinary cocoon, where I converse with like minded friends and family about the value of fresh local food. I know you are all patient with me while I go on and on about local, seasonal, and local seasonal.
Well for the 1500 miles of travel, with nights at various hotel/motels, I am shocked to see what America has decided is food.
At every motel through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado claim to serve a hot continental breakfast.
From Pendelton Oregon to downtown Denver Colarado - they serve EXACTLY the same stuff! I can’t say the word food here.
Every place has the the same lay out and machinery for a self serve buffet of powdered eggs, frozen waffles, multi colored fruit loops, individual packages of peanut butter, jam, maple syrup, butter [not butter but whipped spread], and cream cheese. Most have the corporate logo on the machinery.
So that is what is in all those WincoFood trucks going down the highway.

AAARRRGH!!! POWDERED EGGS!!!!!
I travel 3 weeks a month for work, and end up in so many of those same spots - it is amazing how so often it is literally IMPOSSIBLE to find actual "food."
...and no matter how much money you spend it is the same. Heck, I was in a Sheraton last week and STILL had to eat powdered eggs!!!
The "yogurt" (if by some chance they have it) cracks me up as well - 99.9% of the time, no matter how many different "types" they have each one will either have HFCS or Aspartamine in it...
The funniest part is when you ask the hotel for something as normal as a glass of milk and an apple upon arrival in the evening (after a day of flying - again, no real food) they look at you as if you are crazy.
