This is not actually my gorp, because its rather boring looking. Peanuts are so blasé. I prefer to mix together: dry roasted almonds, dried cranberries, dark chocolate and banana chips from Trader Joes.
Did anyone else join Girl Scouts when they were in elementary school, only to be severely disappointed by the fact that you have to actually clean the latrines at Girl Scout Camp? I quit shortly after realizing this. But not before I was totally hooked on gorp. Thanks Girl Scouts! Gorp, for those of you who have never had it, is pretty much what you eat when you go camping; or in my case, something I eat whenever I am not stationary. It is a mixture of dried fruits, nuts, granola, sometimes there is even carob pieces in there. Or even M+Ms! Gorp in fact, (according to Wikipedia) stands for, depending on the source, "Good old raisins and peanuts," in addition, the Oxford Dictionary from 1913 has gorp listed as a verb, for "to eat greedily." In my case, both apply. There is something deliciously addictive about sweet, crunchy and salty all mixed up together.

And here I thought that this was simply called "trail mix".
