Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Hey guys I decided to get smart and do some research on what to eat at airports between my various flights back to the US. I did some research and based on my terminal and restaurants available these are my choices...I was wondering if someone could review them and double-check to make sure that they are veggie and also just for general knowledge as to what contains milk or eggs too. Thanks! Manchu Wok has a combo where you can get steamed rice with mixed veggies. There's also a TCBY that has sorbets and hand-dipped sorbets. Does anyone know what the difference is? Confused by vocab. And there's also a Great American Bagel but I couldnt find any information on their bagels specifically. I've found some excellent bagel sites that suggest ingredients to watch out for or ask about but nothing on this particular company. I figure the chinese would be a good meal, the sorbet if I want a treat and I could maybe pick up a bagel or something for a to-go snack. Or maybe check out their sandwiches, soups or salads. But if I cant find any information on them I may skip them entirely. How's my plan? -Katie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well yes I am packing snacks too as previously suggested and discussed here (thanks). I have pistachios, soy pudding and am going to be buying some granola and maybe chips too. And of course water. But with a 1.5 hour flight, a break, a 9 hour flight, a break and another 1.5 hour flight I will mostly likely be wanting either a meal or a snack of some sort while I am on the ground. So I was looking for suggestions as to the food places in the terminals I had found. Airplane 'snacks' only get so far and I can only hope that the veggie meal (already requested) is good. -Katie , Diamond Dog <diamonddog@g...> wrote: > I usually just pack snacks for my flights.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Well, most fast food chinese places use chicken broth, especially in their rice, so I'd be careful there. I know it's been awhile since I've flown a long distance, but I rarely buy food at an airport. I pack enough food that will keep me going and usually I have plenty left over. And don't forget that the flight is going to have food. You could probably call and ask what their veggie option is. The times I've flown where they've served food my veggie option has always been good. What are your concerns with the bagel place? If they are real bagels then they will be made with eggs. And I'm sure they do have a veggie bagel sandwhich.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Ah! Many now have Subways in them, or other sandwich shops that have veggie sandwiches and salads. Some are pretty good. I usually can find something if I look around. I also sometimes pack a bagel sandwich for the road.

And I'm sure they do have a veggie >bagel sandwhich. Huh. Very few bagels I've read the ingredients from contain eggs. The shinyness comes from boiling. I've mostly only seen egg in the ones that aren't properly boiled. I figured they usually don't contain animal products because they're kosher and people often eat animal products on them. At least, I know most of the bagels at the one's I've checked the ingredients on were vegan. Brueggers has really good ones! Another bet that's generally safe is sourdough or baguette. Traditionally neither of these should contain animal products. I've never found any that did thus far. Though strangely, I have come across pita that contained dairy. Oh...just a thought...not one of my favorite places, but most airports have a taco bell and the bean burrittos hold-the-cheese are less bad for you than one would think.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I'll ask about the Chinese place if I end up wanting a big meal. I am bringing a lot of food and requested the veggie meal options weeks ago but like I said in a previous post, its a 1.5 hour flight, break, 9 hour flight, break, 1.5 hour flight. Plus I have a speedy metabolism so I get hungry very quickly so with that along with the 1-4 hours I'll be sitting bored in airports I can imagine I'll want either a snack or a meal. I'm vegetarian so I can eat any of the bagels really but I prefer to eat vegan when I can so if there are bagels of that sort I would prefer them over the others. Upon looking at other bagel sites plain and everything bagels tended to be vegan but as this company doesnt have any information listed I wasnt sure. The airport in Prague will be an adventure as all their food places are self serve cafeterias. Hopefully they'll have stuff labeled though! -Katie , " organic_homestead " <organic_homestead> wrote: > Well, most fast food chinese places use chicken broth, especially in > their rice, so I'd be careful there. > > I know it's been awhile since I've flown a long distance, but I rarely > buy food at an airport.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well as I only have an hour and a half break in that airport I'm limiting myself to the food in that terminal as far as planning and I listed all of the places whose names dont involve an animal. Manchu Wok, Great American Bagel and TCBY. And as I live in Germany there are no bagels here. Which is why I was asking for the information as I havent eaten a bagel in over a year. -Katie , Diamond Dog <diamonddog@g...> wrote: > Ah!

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 I read that the shininess from bagels comes from when bagels are sitting out for awhile, they get dipped in an egg-glaze dip which makes them look shiny and fresh. And as I said in my above post there is no Taco Bell in that terminal. -Katie , Diamond Dog <diamonddog@g...> wrote: > > > > >What are your concerns with the bagel place?

And as I said in my above post >there is no Taco Bell in that terminal. Oops! Sorry about the taco bell mixup. I must not have read closely enough. Boiling should make them shiny without egg...I have mostly seen egg used on pies or breads that are not often shiny on their own. V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
