[AT] Boiled Peanuts

[Larry Goss]

LOL!  Peanuts will "do that" to you regardless of how they are prepared, Al.  

On one or our nearly annual trips to Poland, I bought a liter of Black Currant juice in a cafeteria once and the cashier wasn't too sure she should sell it to me.  Her question to me was, "Do you realize what that will do?"  She was relieved when we told her it was going to be split three ways.

The juice has a unique flavor and is so popular that it's considered the unofficial national drink of Poland.  LOT airlines serves it on their domestic and International flights, and it is available in groceries and restaurants everywhere.

Judicious use of Black Currant juice and peanuts will keep your intestines acting like they should when traveling even when Activia isn't available.
