What we're eating...

One of the questions that we're most frequently asked  is:
 "How will we eat vegan on the road?"

We're mostly cooking at the campsite with occasional restaurant meals. Despite the limitations of two pots, a single burner and a small pantry, we're eating a fairly varied menu. It's definitely more than just pasta...

Remember how when we were staying in the small village of Ramsen where my mom is from, and `vegan' was a rather foreign concept (well, to my great aunt whom we were staxing with anyway)? Well, turns out one of the 'major' industries in town (which is still of course very small, but as you know, even the smallest German village has an industry) specializes in tofu, lupin and seitan products, exporting all across Europe... and was profiled in the local newspaper three weeks after our visit. Let me know if you've heard of 'tofu und mehr / albert hess gmbh' or come across their yellow and green packaged products on your travels.
