Hillary Clinton's new book What Happened takes readers behind the scenes of her historic presidential campaign. Unsurprisingly, a large portion of the book focuses on policy, debate prep, campaign strategies, Russia, and (you guessed it) those damn emails. But the former secretary of state also shared her daily routine, including what she ate on the campaign trail.
"It's funny how much you look forward to the next meal when you're living out of a suitcase," Clinton wrote. After spending nearly 600 days on the road, she'd know.
Clinton started her day by ordering scrambled egg whites and vegetables from room service, and typically doused the breakfast with her favorite condiment: hot sauce. As she prepped for the day by checking emails and reading press clips, Clinton drank black coffee or strong black tea.
Plenty of meals were eaten on board her campaign plane. As it turned out, one of the flight attendants, Liz, happened to be a nutritionist who frequently brought fresh, homemade meals for the entire staff. Clinton notes that her favorites were salmon salad, chicken tenders with almond flour, and poblano pepper soup. "[Liz's] surprise smash hit was brownies made out of chickpea flour," she added.
Clinton and her staff also ate protein-filled snacks like canned salmon, Quest bars, and KIND bars for much-needed energy boosts. Her guilty pleasure snack was Goldfish and, after Liz introduced the team to Flavor Blasted Goldfish, they had a lively debate about whether or not this flavor was better than the original. (Not all debates are political, even when you're Hillary Clinton.)
Ever since she discovered hot sauce in 1992, it's been Clinton's go-to condiment and she puts it on pretty much everything. Her favorite brands are Marie Sharp's and Ninja Squirrel Sriracha.
Although Clinton mostly kept her diet healthy and consistent, she tried new cuisines as she traveled all over the country. She recalls drinking a gallon of lemonade and eating a pork chop on a stick in the 100 degree heat at the Iowa State Fair.
And speaking of Iowa, she has a favorite restaurant in Cedar Rapids where they know her beverage of choice and immediately bring it to her whenever she arrives: a martini with olives and Tito's Handmade Vodka.
“I hear from those who’ve eaten crow, that the feathers aren’t so tasty”
The crow is bad enough but the feathers tend to STICK on the way down. Chew them to a pulp and they still stick half way down.
Been there, done that.
OHHHH now that’s cheeky!
But did she have a good BM every day? That’s what I want to know.
Ok, since she makes this part of “what happened [to Hillary], she is also, inter alia, implicitly blaming for her stupendous loss for her second bid for the presidency her dietician or whoever did, does, or will ever advise her on what to eat. Wouldn’t that be Huma, who answers all calls to Hillary and carries her stuff wherever they go?
They asked around to find out what the cool trendy hot sauces were so Hillary would be cool and trendy by association. She looks to me like the type who would have a colon blow of epic proportions from even the mildest of hot sauces. It’s all BS.
Yeah, That hot sauce and Tito’s vodka are both from Austin, Texas. If we tried really hard I bet we could figure out where the aide is from that told her to say that.
I had a guinea pig very similar to that as a kid. very affectionate little things, chock full of personality
She’s certainly built for it.
Pre-dinner snack.
Tito’s is nice, we’ve had it here in NC for years. Smoother than Grey Goose or Belvedere, for about half to two thirds the price.
Crow?
Well, I can finally say something good about Hillary.
She has good taste in vodka.
I’ll believe the vodka she drank, but the rest is bulls***-she doesn’t look like a prize heifer because she eats anything healthy-more likely she never passes up a sugary snack or dessert-or a meal that is a total carbfest at least 3x per day...
Ask her what the rest of it is. :)
Hillary does have a large body if you see full body pics. It’s like she has a tiny head on a big frame.
She'll fit right in with the prison population. The inmates always brought their own bottles of hot sauce to the mess hall to put on their food.
