Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

damburton, that sort of thing would often be found as a plat du jour in the Alps - johnE is quite right, that's often the best (and cheapest) choice.

buffet is my fave food - skiing and other wise Toofy Grin

failing that, kobe beef (massaged, serenaded, blown, etc), either tartarred up to buggery or wafer thin & hot rocked as above, followed by sashimi & sushi yum yum, and failing that (as would only do it in Japan or MAYBE US) then it'd have to be any (both?!) of the plateau chateau specials at the 'Coe (if you can ski Scotland..... Shocked )

I'd be more interested in hearing folks favourite PACKED lunch food for skiing - still searching for the perfect combo/selection for touring/bc days

my best lunch this season so far was sanglier (wild boar) with a myrtille sauce. I do agree that the cheese/ham combo palls after a while. I can do about one ham/cheese every two weeks, absolute max. The thought of having something like tartiflette (or equivalent) for lunch every day makes me feel quite queasy.

The plat du jour is almost always the best bet in the places we go to. For a cheap lunch, we share a "chicken wings and chips" - less than 6 euro, feeds two not-too-greedy people.

For picnics though, winter or summer, it is almost always sandwiches of thinly sliced Beaufort cheese and even thinner jambon cru. A crunchy apple and a bottle of beer. Just writing that takes me back to lunches spent sitting on rocks with my feet surrounded by wild flowers. Little Angel

French pre made baguettes are often disappointing as they are too simple and dry - where is the salad and Mayo?

alex_heney, Each to his own, I love Austria, I don't ski anywhere else these days but don't eat any of those. Gröestl's OK but too salty, I cannot abide cheese of any description and Gulaschesuppe too spicy, although strangely I love curry. Don't like Germanic sausages, sauerkraut is disgusting, I don't do fish and spag bol is boring.

So generally its a lot of chicken, steak, chips and salad. The beer's good though. wink

Austria - almdudler. Nectar of the gods.
France - cassoulet, escargot. For a quick lunch Knackis and a baguette (Ketchup epice optional).

Pizzoccheri
Rich game stews with polenta
Creamy, salty carbonara
Salad with thinly sliced fennel and walnut dressing, with a side of pizza
Mulled wine or Bombardino, hot and milky not too sweet or too strong.
Chocolate always tastes better eaten on a chairlift Happy

Packed lunch would be a bread roll with cheese and/or ham, capri sun and chocolate. Simple, but keeps you going.

DickyMint, welcome to Snowheads. snowHead None of the restaurants I've been to in our ski area do escargots, and even if they did I wouldn't choose them. wink If "knackis" are those frankfurter-style sausages I'm afraid I'd not choose them, either.

I prefer the sound of the Italian choices, though it's not hard to get a good game stew with polenta in France, too.

Italy is THE place to eat, fantastic food, coffee for a Euro, forget overpriced French slop or Austrian Dumplings with Gravy or Custard.

pam w, I had that Plat du Jour and it was fantastic, but went to a different restaurant a day later it it didn't taste the same at all! Whereas the Vin Chaud taste good whereever I drink it.

I enjoyed a delicious rognons de veau flambes, sauce cognac aux champignons this Christmas and in France will almost always go for the plat du jour on the very odd occasion that we don't go the squashed baguette/cold spanish omelette/flask of soup route.

pam w, Knacki are indeed those frankfurter things and I wouldn't choose them either - although I was surprised to find that they make rather good sausage rolls, as introduced to me by our current French lodger.
