[at-l] Vegetarian backpacking

[David Jones]

I am a long time vegetarian.  On the trail, I find my taste running 
mainly to pasta: Lipton/Knorr side dishes particularly (common grocery 
item).  For breakfast on the trail, I regularly have oatmeal with 
raisins, powdered milk, and brown sugar.  My favorite packaged trail 
food is made by Enertia.  Not all Enertia trail food is vegetarian -- 
check the ingredient list for animal products.  I don't like their TVP 
dishes, but I'm especially fond of Moosilake Goulash, and Switchback 
Spaghetti.  For my September Long Trail hike I had Hit the Trail 
(Internet mail order) send me packages to each of my mail drops.  $4 for 
4oz. +shipping. You might call it expensive, but it sure tastes good.  
I've carried Mary Jane Farms trail food in the past.  Everything she 
sells is organic and vegetarian, but is expensive, and I don't find it 
tasty enough to justify the expense.

I was surprised to find out how much I liked potato flakes on the 
trail.  Needs plenty salt.
