Free: Contests & Raffles.
I ran the 200 mile Hood to Coast relay race a few years ago. It starts on Mt. Good, goes through Portland, and finishes at the oceans. Between legs in the relay, I needed protien and electrolytes, stat. My magic concoction? A raw egg into a styrafoam cup, topped off with V8. Yes, it was as gross and slimy as it sounds, but damn did I feel good an hour later. I was one of few on my 12 man team that met or beat estimated pace times. I have to credit the gross but effective mix of the egg and v8.
Some Filipino friends I knew when I lived up in Alaska had me try some stuff called Bagoong (sp?). It was black and tasted horrible. I asked what it was and they said it was fermented fish guts. And it sure tasted like it. Nastiest thing ever!
