    Tour de (food type)

    I will always remember the Canadian east coast on our self-loaded bike tour for 3 wks., as Tour de Fried Breakfasts. It drove me nuts..but to get energy I did have to eat a largish breakfast. when you are on the road, cycling, going through rural areas in some regions, just take whatever food is offered when restaurants/cafes are far apart.

    So the sight of fried eggs, hash browns or fries, bacon/sausage..became almost too common. But thank god for weighted cycling to burn off those greasy breakfasts.

    And no, we were already cycling each with camping gear, clothing weight, so to add much food in panniers was not a great thought.

    My partner returns from his 4-wk. long European cycling and Eurorailing trip this weekend. I joked to him during his wk. long cycling trip in Germany, it was the Tour de White Asparagus. A very German food love, white asparagus. Since it's rare and expensive in North America, he tried an white asparagus dish in nearly every meal daily. He even sent me a digital photo of market food stalls with huge piles white asaragus. Ok, darling....
