Bacon 

It puts all of the others to shame with a thick crust of spices. It improves any array of dishes: shrimp and grits, a BLT, black beans, and yes, breakfast tacos.

Lemonade 

It tastes just like the ballpark lemonades of my childhood, with the right amount of sweet-to-tart flavor that comes from only lemons, sugar, and water.

Wild Boreal Blueberries

Smaller and sweeter than your standard blueberries, these add so much concentrated flavor to smoothies and oatmeal.

Frozen Shrimp 

Upon first bite of these, you will find yourself saying, “Wait, am I eating lobster?” because these meaty shrimps are incredibly luxe, rich, and sweet.

Road Trip Snacks 

There is no shortage of options — crunchy, sweet, salty, surprising, energizing, and a little indulgent — no matter how picky your trip mates are.
