Day 54 in The Beat Handbook: 100 Days of Kerouactions was inspired by this passage from On The Road.
This passage provides us with a beat shopping list. When I learned that Jack was a fan of spaghetti and meatballs in a can, my love of Chef Boyardee was validated. I've been eating it since I was a kid and I still love it. Had some for lunch today as a matter of fact.
And do I love bread? Check. Butter? Check. Coffee? Check. Cake? Check.
I'm definitely on the beat diet. And you?
It totally fits Jack's "Hobo-esque" traits. Quick and easy even if it means out of a can! I am sure if Dinty Moore beef stew was there he would have went for that too! Being French also means bread and lots of it! Gotta love it!
