Drifting the turns…
The personal story intros are getting a little long, but half an hour about food from the girl who struggled with going too low carb and the guy who doesn’t eat? Focus on the coaching and leave the cargo-phobic conspiracy theories to Ben. I love the podcast, but beware the tangent monster.
i started out in the 80s infrequently eating Underwood brand sardines in mustard sauce. In the south, they seemed priced like a delicacy, so I bought the cheapest that tasted ok, usually in hot sauce.
In 2014 I discovered Polar brand kippered herring. 1.4 g omega-3, actually smoked, liquid tastes good too, slurp or use as ingredient. $1.38, at Walmart, south-east.
Now a once per week snack.
