This is revolutionary. Minds will be blown. Culinary compasses will spin wildly, if only to recalibrate. Energy bars will be relegated to the cobwebbed section of the pantry. On a recent hike, struck by fleeting gastronomic brilliance, as though by a lightning bolt sourced from the sweet and savory soul of Mario Batali himself, Active Junky testers sandwiched fresh banana slices between Nutter Butter cookies. The result was the hiking snack of hiking snacks: the Nutter Butter Banana Sandwich.
Note: this ingredient list is complicated, arduous and not at all for inexperienced hikers.
*Preferably the circular variety. Oblong cookies require advanced banana management skills.
Life after ‘wich will never be the same.
