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.
Hillary’s drinking is the only thing I like about her . . . at least it’s relatable.
I picture her bottles of hot sauce with depictions of the devil on the label. A secret homage to her lord and master.
Somewhere in those 600 days on the road, she found time to eat enough to keep her thighs healthy. You’re right, she’s prolly not telling the whole story.
I looked up Ninja Squirrel Sriracha, it’s made with Habanero. I’d like to see her go on a talkshow and have the host give her even a small spoonful of ‘her favorite hot sauce’. Talk about entertainment! After she got up off the floor, I think she’d go for his (or her) throat or start throwing anything she could find.
go away, HilLIARy! nobody cares.
you are irrelevant.
go do something worthwile that may actually help someone other than yourself, for a change
you might even discover you like helping other people
it is a normal human thing to like helping others
(and you’ve sold enough governmental favors already to line your pockets into at least seven eternities in Hell)
Jack Daniels was always with her.
If Hillary really ate like this she would be wearing pantsuits a few sizes smaller.
I figured she’d be smart enough to name at least one of the decent inexpensive brands of hot sauce, you know, the kind that most black people would use. Crystal, Louisiana, Frank’s, Texas Pete? Oh no, she’s too good for that, lol. She even blows her rear-guard cover stories with her arrogance.
...Her guilty pleasure snack was Goldfish...
While she was sending and receiving classified emails.
Guilty alright.
Keep it up Hillary!
“Salmon salad”.
Almond Flour? WTH? How many almonds does it take to make a 5 # bag of flour?
Never heard of it, but when a friend said she had switched from cow’s milk to Almond Milk, I told her:
“I remember how much work it was to milk 45-50 cows every morning & night. I couldn’t imagine how much work it must be to MILK AN ALMOND”. She almost fell off her horse laughing.
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.
Who said that hard-hitting investigative journalism was dead?
She didn’t even include a hot sauce that many, many voters use: good old Tabasco.
She can’t help herself, it’s all self-glorifying. She’s not using hot sauce, she’s name dropping.
As long as she is drawing a breath, I will avoid it.
I want nothing in common with her, with the possible exception of contempt for her husband...
