Seafood is very uncommon on the trail and it’s not hard to see why! If you’re lucky, your tea house will provide the option of a cooked breakfast with eggs and hash browns, but this can’t be guaranteed. Porridge, cereal, and toast are the most reliable members of the breakfast menu.

Fruit does not grow at such extreme altitudes so you won’t find much in the fresh fruit bowl. More common are vegetables, with the majority of dishes in the tea houses actually being vegetarian. That being said, the variety of vegetables is not world-class – lentils and green veggies like spinach are common.
