First up we have Laser Olympic hopeful, Clay Johnson, who has been training hard for the upcoming Lasers World in Nova Scotia. He was sailing there in June when he told us...We had a two hour meeting with a Canadian Nutritionist where she made us all dinner and talked about what we should be eating during regattas, etc. The dinner was great and then we walked through a grocery store where she pointed out the right things to get while shopping. It was really delicious and informative.Seems like Clay is taking this Olympic campaign business awfully seriously. He's not even sharing the secret go-faster nutritional advice that he received.
Anna Tunnicliffe, gold medal winner in Laser Radials in the 2008 Olympics, is in Japan for the Women's Radial Worlds and told us on Thursday that she has been enjoying "a fantastic rice dish. It comes in a sizzling hot bowl, rice on the bottom and on top are raw vegetables, raw meat, and a raw egg. The idea is for you to stir it up and cook it in front of you." Hmmm. Sounds a bit risky to me to eat on the night before racing in a major regatta. Anyway it seems to be working for her as she is hanging in there with the regatta leaders.And finally Andrew Campbell, the 2008 US Laser Olympian, who has switched from Lasers to Stars, is currently in Sweden for the Star Worlds. According to Friday's blog post he is eating (what else?) Swedish meatballs, which apparently in Sweden are called "meatballs". He says it's a bit like being in this Muppets skit...
So there we have it...
- Swedish meatballs
- Just what the nutritionist ordered
- Raw meats and raw egg cooked in your dish.

You forgot to add "Burgoo" to your list :) Let's see if Carol anne can name the book(s) this time.
I think I would go with whatever the Italian national team is having.
Sometimes I have no idea what people who leave comments here are talking about.
Are we surprised that some wild Scotsman hasn't suggested haggis, necessarily washed down with single-malt whiskey?
Or better yet, where's our Cheeseburger in Paradise? Bobby Olguin, the local green chile cheeseburger maestro at the Buckhorn in San Antonio, NM, defeated Bobby Flay in a widely publicized chef's "smackdown" recently.
Without doubt go with Anna. This is the right direction.Burgoo is too ephemeral and can involve road kill( I grew up in KY and my town has a burgoo fest. I don't advise it.)Italians will carb pack which must be done well in advance, I suggest one boiled egg, 12 almonds and 1/2 avocado. Go food. Seems like many of your responders figure irony has to play into their response. Why?
Is tillerman an ironoclast?
Thanks Thomas. All this irony makes my head spin. I never know when someone is being ironic. Including you. Including me.
Aren't liver and other organ meats good for irony?
Oh, gosh, now I wish I could remember the menu I'd come up with for RKJ Day. I think it was something like kippers, fruitcake & Scotch (each item having figured prominently in at least one RKJ Day post that I read).
