I do that quite often, because many times I want the salad and the pasta, and they are usually both offered as primer platos.Its a little-known fact that if you are partaking of a “pilgrims meal” of three courses from which you choose, you can ask for a second “first course” instead of the typical second course. So you can have a green salad AND lentil soup, skipping the traditional meat second course. This allows for vegetarians and omnivores to share meals throughout the Camino without too much wrangling!
Jill, if you were looking for suggestions on easy to fix meals, spaghetti or other pasta can be quite good along with a nice, mixed salad and some good crusty bread with good butter (or olive oil if the vegetarians are more vegan-like in their diets).
For a tomato sauce, add green peppers, sliced mushrooms, onions, etc. There is also the option to divide the sauce into two serving bowls and add real meat to one bowl of sauce.
There are some decent bottled sauces to buy. Don't forget a little garlic too!Our gite does not provide supper, but we can cook our own there if we want to.
I am not a veggie but when I stayed at Beilari they served one meat and one veggie lasagna. Both were delicious. One of the all time great albergues on any camino.Too bad you didn’t book at the albergue Beilari. They serve all vegetarian meals. Sometimes it is possible to reserve for dinner without staying there. check into it at www.Beilari.info
Hopefully you can cook there.Thanks for all the suggestions.
The reason I didn’t book Beilari, although I know it is highly recommended, is because we were originally 8, and it didn’t seem fair, on newbie pilgrims, to book 8 of the 14 beds for my group.
So I (a veteran) booked into a much bigger gite elsewhere. (Beilari probably won’t take group bookings anyway.)
Back in early 2020 the gite I booked did provide supper, and he would do vegetarian.
Two years on, and two of my group have had to cancel due to financial and family reasons directly associated with covid.
I don’t know why our gite no longer provides supper, maybe it’s also covid-related, but I want to support him.
We won’t have much chance of a communal supper on our 3-week camino to Burgos, so I think we’ll maybe cook our own. We have time to plan it!
He says we can, but now checking out what he has besides a microwave!Hopefully you can cook there.
No, really, you don't have to plan it, honestly.We have time to plan it!
Well, you know, I need something to do while I’m waiting to get thereNo, really, you don't have to plan it, honestly.
Haha. Yes.Well, you know, I need something to do while I’m waiting to get there
Ah, geeze the pressure! I get it.We will all have just arrived, the other five have never been there before, so they are going to look to me, and say, OK Jill, you’ve been here before where’s the best place for supper.
