Re: Did I mention that I like having a destination even if it's ridiculous?
Date: 2015-04-20 01:57 pm (UTC)I started making huge batches of burritos while in Texas, because in a lot of cases the places where we stop only have foods with meat on or in them. Burritos have been an awesome long-distance food because if they're wrapped in foil they're fairly easy to eat while riding, and they can be filled with all sorts of delicious ingredients to suit all sorts of tastes. The present batch is black beans, potatoes, sweet potato, a bit of cheese, kale, mushrooms, and salsa, in a homemade whole wheat flour tortilla (of questionable structural integrity but excellent flavor). On longer rides I've been happy to have both breakfast burritos (eggs, cheese, potato) and lunch/dinner ones (black beans, kale, rice).
I keep pondering: are my burrito dimensions appropriate, or would it be more appropriate to run the calculations with larger burritos? Then I think, no, my burrito size is correct because if I tried to eat larger burritos, the need to digest would slow me down considerably.
