spil Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Any vegetarians here? I became vegetarian this summer, but now that ski season has started/been going on for a while, I'm getting really tired of pbj sandwiches every time I ride. Any ideas for an easy, filling brown-bag lunch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.E Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Burritos (no- really) Vegan, or lacto ovo? Nuts, cheese and fruit are all good ones for easy on hill eating with enough carbs/ fat to keep you happy an warm. Eat well the night before and stay hydrated. There are a lot of good vegan "energy bar" type recipes that are less "power bar" and more oatmeal cookie. I generally avoid a big meal and just have pocketable snacks for a steady snacking flow.

spil Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm lacto/ovo. Burritos sound pretty good, I might try that. I could prepare everything pretty easily, except for the rice, but I could live without rice (I only have a microwave). I usually do no real meals and snack, but that's only if I'm riding until 2 or so. If I'm staying until last chair, I like to have a "real" meal to sort of break the day in half. Might get some nuts or trail mix though, sounds better than gnawing on a frozen powerbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 sedge. burdock? ideally you want carbs before, sugars during, and protein after. (pasta, chocolate, tofu-burger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDB Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Le Massif in Quebec has the best menu I have ever seen! I don't even bother to pack a lunch. I am sure they would have a tasty vegetarian selection. (is "tasty vegetarian" an oxymoron?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiveBomber Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 theres a reason most of the animals we eat are vegetarian .. because they are too weak a feeble to runaway, and the ones that aren't would eat you FIRST!!!:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spil Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 if im ever in a plane crash in the mtns, im eating the vegi first!! nah, I'd rather have the meat eater. All that extra fat they have could make leftovers for weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveBomber Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 nah, I'd rather have the meat eater. All that extra fat they have could make leftovers for weeks! no see you fatten them up with the vegi first, THEN you eat the meat eater, see cause all that fat, will help keep you warm..... until they die. think of them as "food storage" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don't eat the fat, you make a coat out of it, Ed Gein style? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik J Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm with Divebomber. I would eat the vegi first. Chances are the meat has been less tainted with all of the industrial crap - they'll taste better. When the food supplies start getting short, then go for the meat eaters - they'll most likely last longer anyway as fatty has been surviving on all of the stored fat. You catch 'em, I'll cook 'em.....deal? Oh, I see. So you don't eat the fat, you make a coat out of it, Ed Gein style? That's just gross.

H. Sherman Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I would argue eating people in any context is wrong. HOWEVER, I feel that the vegetarian, while not being of as great nutritional value as the meat-eater, will taste better. I think they would taste less "gamey".

Any ideas for an easy, filling brown-bag lunch? Back to the point.... I'm vegan, and for snacks on the hill I usually revert to nuts and granola bars (bora bora, clifff, raw revolution, etc). However, I generally don't ride until last chair. Bagels are great in the morning, they give quick energy and if you put hummus/avocados on them, they will also give you protein to stay with you for a while. In the pocket, they freeze and aren't very good. Dates are also really yummy and will give you a quick sugar fix if needed. Honey sticks are another alternative. Chocolate is a must and i always have it with me, or for a quick fix there's always M&M's or a chcolate brownie/cookie in the lodge although I try to stay away from that stuff as it's not usually vegan based. For an actual lunch, homemade burritos are also an option, with your fav fillings and a good balance of protein and fats to keep you going all afternoon.

I pack a zipbag with almond, cashews, and M&M's (regular, peanut butter, and coconut). I'll ride straight through lunch time, and just munch on the lift line or the chair up.

Erik J Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Back to the other point.... If you are looking to eat a vegi on the go, bring a little creme brulee torch, a small folding knife and a little salt. You could torch just a little piece for a quick snack. Just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
