Chipmunk with Discriminating Palate
Before we set off on the Summit Loop in the Porcupine Mountain Wilderness, the Mister and I carbo-loaded with some rice cakes, not just any rice cakes, but the the really good ones (genuinely: brown rice with tamari and seaweed). The woods were full of frisky Eastern Chipmunks. One such critter ran over to us, sniffed the ground, took a piece of rice cake, and spit it back out.

And with good reason he spit it out.
Rice cakes, are you trying to poison my son????
Give him some he-man food to prepare for a journey such as you're on.
I wouldn't take it too hard. You picky chipmunk had probably just seen "Ratatouille." I'm certain that movie has affected the eating habits of millions of rodents (think of all the vermin that must live solely from movie house popcorn, Junior Mints, and spilled soda) and made them unashamed of their sensitive palates! In the near future, I predict that raccoons will break into your cooler, eat your cheese, and then dump out your sparkling wine because it doesn't pair well. Notorious wine snobs, those raccoons . . .
