As you all know I love my food and walking up and down mountains gave me the perfect excuse to increase the amount I could eat exponentially every day without becoming the size of a house. The food of the Annapurna Circuit is a bit artificial as the menus are all agreed by the district councils and panders too much to western tastes but that said there have been some memorable moments including...
- Mark's ability to eat 8 Dahl Bahts in a row (immediately prior to the onset of AMS so this could be a hitherto unknown early warning for the Sickness),
- the chow mein that crunched when you cut in to it,
- cups and cups and cups of mint tea,
- the fact that the only vegetable that seems to survive at high altitude is cabbage which I think is to blame for my windy descent over the last few days,
- Calvin Klein roasting buffalo meat for me in an open fire
- the ability of Clare, Mairead and myself to eat at least 2 snickers a day for at least 10 days of the trek and
- sticky buns that looked great even if they were a little stale
