Junk Food Jubilation

(YouTube link)

Norwegian adventurer Aleksander Gamme spent three months in 2011-2012 skiing to the South Pole solo. On day 86, he reached a stash of supplies, and was delighted to find cheese doodles and chocolate. You might think his joy is a bit over-the-top, but I tend to act the same way when I find forgotten chocolate candy. Link

English translation. Link

Gamme also has an AMA (ask me anything) thread at reddit. Link

2:50 is my favorite part. That rolled R in his exclamation makes me sad that English has no similar sound to include in moments of exultation. Somehow, "awesome!" doesn't compare.

I always thought The Swedish Chef was an over-the-top impersonation, but now I appreciate the subtle nuances of his performances. (Swedish/Norwegian, same difference.)

If you've ever been on an extended backpacking trip... about the 5th or 6th day you start dreaming of certain foods.. Indeed after a while the thought of getting back to civilization and certain foods is what keeps you going..

We've done 8-10 day backpacking trips, and your pace quickens on that last day, cause all you are thinking about is eating a big huge meal at some restaurant....
