Trail Mix (1968, 1976, 1977)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   "Trail Mix" is not in John Mariani's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD AND
DRINK (1999).  "Trail Mix" is also not in the index of Andrew F. Smith's PEANUTS
(2002).
   OED and Merriam-Webster have 1977.  (OED's entry--from Nexis--was added in
December 2001.)    I'll keep an eye out for "trail mix" in the LOS ANGELES
TIMES (still stuck on May 1953).

_The Skiers' Snack_

   Margie Mahoney, 23, of Anchorage, Alaska is a member of the Ladies'
Cross-Countrey Team and makes her own snack food.
   When in competition she prefers large breakfasts and after a race she
drinks hot liquids, eats raisins and oranges.  At home she makes granola for
breakfast.  Her Skiers' Trail Mix for hiking or ski touring is made from equal
amounts of raisins, dry roasted peanuts, chocolate chips or M&M's.  "I mix these
in a plastic bag and throw it in my back pack.  It's a great energy snack."
Here is Margie Mahoney's granola recipe. (...)
