Canadian Food Challenge: Trail Runner Edition

Welcome to another hilarious and thought-provoking episode of Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station! At Run Tri Bike, we’re all about inspiring and motivating endurance athletes to achieve their dreams and goals. This week, we’re diving into a Canadian Food Challenge that ultra and trail runners might encounter during their endurance events. Get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even get a little hungry as Jason and Adam from Community Trail Running face off in the ultimate food challenge!

Absurd Aid Station Food Choices

In this episode, Adam surprises Jason with three unique and interesting food options straight from Newfoundland. The challenge? Jason has to decide which food he would eat, carry, or toss while tackling a grueling trail run. Let’s dive into the contenders:

Fish and Brewis

Fish and Brewis is a traditional Newfoundland dish made with salt cod and hard tack bread, topped off with scrunchions (salted pork). This salty and hearty combo might sound like a winner for some, but will Jason find it to be a trail-worthy snack or a waste of energy?

Fries, Dressing, and Gravy

Imagine Thanksgiving dinner leftovers, but with French fries instead of turkey! This hearty dish is a Newfoundland favorite, combining the flavors of fries, dressing, and gravy. It’s delicious, but will it fuel a trail runner’s journey or slow them down with its richness?

Newfoundland Snowballs

These soft chocolate fudge balls are made with sugar, melted butter, milk, oats, coconut, and coconut oil. A sweet treat for sure, but is it practical for the trails? Jason faces the tough decision of whether to embrace the sweetness or pass on these decadent snowballs.

Watch as Jason makes his tough decisions in this Canadian food challenge: will he embrace the salt cod, indulge in the fries and gravy, or savor the sweet snowballs? What would you choose? Let us know in the comments below!
