What do you eat in France if you are veggie and camping?

[doggiesayswoof]

OK the "in France" bit may be irrelevant

It's been years since I went camping and now my DC are veggie, DH is veggie, and I am happy to eat veggie food most of the time.

So - what veggie meals are good for camping?

Oooh, I shall watch your thread with interest - we're veggie too!

Nicest meal we made last time we went was boil in the bag rice, with a lovely free range egg mixed into it, sweetcorn, and wild garlic leaves. Bloomin lovely.

Sounds good mellow!

All my ideas so far have egg in them, fine for me and DC but DH doesn't eat eggs... he says he is happy with bread and salad and olives for a week

I'll be making omelettes

french toast

one-pot veg thing - fry courgettes and tomatoes, make holes and crack eggs and fry them, great with crusty bread

Couscous with something...?

Couscous with courgettes stuffed with cheese if you eat it, wrapped in foil and baked?

Yum.

Also sweet potatoes on BBQ are lovely

What sort of meals do you eat at home?
Will you have a two ring cooker? or just a bbq?

Lots of stuffed peppers/tomatoes are great - fill with couscous & cheese.

Pasta & pesto, ratatouille & pasta or cous cous. BBQ courgettes, aubergines & baked camembert, fried rice. My favourite is bread, salad & cheese.

i could quite happily just live on French bread and pastries!!

Sorry

pasta, potatoes, stir fry veg, lots of garlic, take some stir in sauces, mushrooms. sweetcorn tinned, take tins of chilli beans to add to peppers/onions and make a chilli?

Grilled haloumi with couscous & salad. Lots of pasta - good for one-pot cooking.

I am already looking forward to lots of yummy cheese, bread & wine!

If any of you eat fish most supermarkets have good fish counters and fish kebabs in the BBQ section

Veggie chilli, made with onions, peppers, courgettes, sweetcorn lots of red kidney beans.

Pasta pesto (spinach and ricotta tortellini easy to find in French supermarkets)

Do they eat fish? BBQ fish

Take halloumi - don't remember seeing it there.

Pizza margherita from the onsite take-away

risotto - mushroom or butternut squash and goats cheese

I am not a veg byt:

do you eat cheese? there are as many cheeses in France as there are religions in England.

Fruit tarts yum yum

variety of bread-like things

Ratatouille? with rice or crusty bread.

Risottos (easy to do in one big pan)

Vegi curry (Take a jar of sauce with you!)

Vegi chilli.

Creamed mushrooms on fried eggy bread.

take advantage of great veg...boil artichokes and dip in butter/make great ratatouille/mushroom stroganoff

eat your way thru the cheese section with different breads and salads

visit patisserie once every day!

Not a veggie, but just back from France. I think the best things in France are meat free and most don't need cooking.

Crusty bread, croissants and pastries, cheese, strange cheese, amazing cheese! Lovely fresh salad ingredients, new potatoes, green beans, great fresh fruit, olives/tapenade, couscous, frites, bittersweet chocolate, crepes/gallettes (available from supermarket to reheat - good with an egg cracked in) have I mentioned the cheese? and wine of course!

Eating out however is another story. They seem to rather like their meat.

eating out?...erm, do you like pizza??

I'm a vegi who is just back from France. We weren't camping but we were self-catering.

I'm the only vegi in the family so most meals were the sort that could be split into a meat and a vegi version somewhere in the cooking process.

I found that the biggest problem was the protein part of the meal (there are only so many eggs you can eat and you start O/D'ing on cheese ) -things like vegi sausages or Quorn-type things don't seem to exist in your average supermarket. Other things like Puy lentils were really expensive (5 euros for a small pack).

When it came to eating out we ate out in a Moroccan restaurant one night as it was the only place we found in that town that had a vegi option.

However we did go out to one very nice and expensive restaurant that had a vegi option on the menu (and I don't mean a half-hearted token omelette either). I've never come across that before in France
