just a little info on pilgrim fuel and food

The life of a Pilgrim revolves around food and shelter.
Given that we stay in Albergues, shelter solved.....food is the next tricky thing.
We are not fussy eaters as you all know..just like our 3 meals a day.. so far we have had one piece of fruit and NOT ONE VEGETABLE for 7 days!!!!! Yes, we have had plenty of bread and bread and bread oh and yes ham with that bread..and bread and cheese..and some bread with that too!!! are you getting the idea?????????
now we also like our cup of tea in the morning as our darling husbands know...we can hardly remember what a cup of tea looks like ...let alone in the morning!!! We are not complaining but we just have to get used to timing..like arriving before things close or are about to close or thinking about opening!!!!
Has been a bit difficult as we did pick the Easter break to start our journey..so 5 days of holidays have not helped..
When we left Cizur Menor we had a little bit of tea before we left at 7 something and then we did not have anything else until Ulterga (about 5hours as we had to walk in mud mud mud!)
and then we had..guess???? yep your right if you are guessing a baugette and ham!!!
Our bed for the night was Puenta la Reina. we arrived at siesta time, and not hot water in the shower time as well :(. so the only thing left to do was go to the bar..as everything else was closed.
3 vino tintos and 2 pkts crisps later we went back to the room to kill an hour before dinner (not wanting to get a name at the bar!) But we had decided while drinking our 3 vino tintos and eating 2 pkts of crisps that we would return to same bar and have the pizza for tea instead of the pilgrims dinner.. well it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!
mmmm ham and cheese pizza ..how can that go wrong??? don´t ask us , but we are not having another one!!!! we are sticking to the pilgrims dinner..
for those of you who do not know what this is..it consists of:
salad or soup or macaroni..(really spaghetti)
the salad is iceberg (none of that fancy stuff) lettuce, olives, tomatoes and anchovies.
main meal is: chicken and chips, fish and chips or pork and chips (have not had the pork yet!!)
no salt and pepper available..for some reason???
desert varies, but it could be a banana, chocolate mousse or icecream.
this is all at a reasonable $$$
We are going back to Pilgrims meals...takes the stress out of trawling bars and streets for food!!!!
but we are hungry!!!! walking 20kms plus a day is hard work so we have to get organised and have food with us, which should now be easy as shops are open.
Bet none of you have had this breakfast (this took a bit of planning BEFORE we went to the bar for our vino tinos at 4pm in Torres de Rio)
... .we had sitting on a rock... as the sun was rising, strawberries cream and chocolate!!!! how good is life :)
we stopped for morning tea in Viana and had coffee and a baugette with an omlette in it! Then we walked down the road and stopped at the bakery and got a few treats (of the pastry kind) to eat on the way.
Then we had nothing till we arrived at our hotel 2pm xx and we roamed the streets..avoiding the bars!!!! and had fritatta and a cup of tea..
At least we had 3 meals today!!!!
Note: tonight as we are staying in our wonderful hotel..we went bar hoping again..had red wine and Tapas and watched the Football....Barcelona scored just as we left the bar!
having a buffet breakfast in the morning so that should keep us going tomorrow.
