trek food

here's the lowdown on the food you get during a trek... well most of the food, i missed taking photos of a couple meals as i was just too hungry from all the hiking to remember to take the camera out.

most of the food was prepared by our guide, thai name: manit... tourist name: brad pitt. so many bad bad jokes, but a friendly guy with lots of experience and some crazy stories. his standing joke is to tell you about something, and then to add at the end, "good for sex"

ok here are the meals, and it goes without saying they're all "good for sex"

on the way:
market stall: beef soup
20 baht i think



sorry about the shadow. we stopped on the way to the village where we started our trek at a little market outside of chiang mai, had to hunt around for a stall with meat we were willing to eat, but found a little chinese lady making soup that was quite good. this was basically my breakfast

lunch:
fried rice
meals were included with price of the trek



a good and tasty fried rice, not much else to say. i'm getting used to this portion size too, which means my pants don't fit anymore =P

supper day 1
soup & chicken with rice






the soup was really quite stellar, it was some kind of turnip like veg, with a great basic broth. sometimes simple is best. the chicken and rice was very much camp food, but still very good.

lunch day 2:
thai mac and veg



i'd seen macaroni noodles on menus in town, but never ordered it as it didn't really seem particularly thai, and i have no idea how thai this was, all i know is that i was damned hungry and this was great


lunch day 3
more fried rice



simple, with lots of chillies added, not much else to say. didn't get a photo of day 2 supper, but it was much like day 1 except the rice was better
