the original grocery run, except the aisles fight back and lunch might kill you

means To wander about searching for food or provisions, especially by gathering wild plants or scavenging what's available rather than buying or growing it.

from From Old French 'fourrage,' meaning fodder or food for animals, which traces back to a Frankish root related to 'food' and 'fodder' (a cousin of the same Germanic family that gives us 'food' itself). It started life as a military and farming word — the stuff you scrounged to feed the horses and the troops — before broadening to any hungry rummaging through field, forest, or fridge.
