Taking a Little Field Strip

Looking for a way to eat paleo on the go...well when you are in a pinch and you are at Macca's, oh excuse me, as an American I guess I am supposed to call it McD's, you just order your burger, and field strip it. Meaning you just remove the buns and eat the burger. YES, YES, I KNOW, I KNOW, is this really paleo, not so much, but when one is traveling, on a lengthy road trip or just needing a quick bite on the go...this is a great way to keep to the diet. It also is a good way to transition into the diet, when you are still having the impulses to eat the foods you are used to, included the fast food and salty foods. Oh, and I also am very well aware that McDonalds burgers are consumed of variety of beef, if my memory serves its like 100 different blends, so that their burgers have the same signature taste around the world. It would be much better to have grass-fed beef burgers, but like I said, this is recommended only in a pinch. ***FYI*** The signature Big Mac was inspired by the Jalama Burger @ Jalama Beach in California. If one ever has the opportunity, I highly recommend making the drive out to Jalama Beach just to have one, its a delicious Angus burger (fresh from local farms) and while you eat it you can sit out soaking up the sun and watching surfers catch the waves out in the ocean. Along the drive you will spot the infamous California cows, and no, not the ones that are in the commercials on tv. Because those are actually filmed in Romania, from what I have been told. I am talking about the REAL California cows. When you are at home you can make your own field stripped burgers. Try turkey burgers wrapped in romaine or make mini sliders wrapped in lettuce. Also a burger along a nice bed of spinach with some red peppers is simply delicious, and nice way to get some added iron. So get to stripping, bare those buns and go topless! [Footnote: Macca's is the name of McDonald's in Australia, that is what Aussies have referred to it for years, and recently it was made official, that Macca's will be its' official name in Australia. ]
