I'm no use for touring advice, and I'd love to hear from vegan tourers as to what they like to eat. I run on as much fruit as possible, avocados when I can get them, potatoes, bread, pasta, hummus...some of these things will be available in the heartland, bananas (yes the sweet kind) are a dietary staple in much of the world and if you eat them a little on the raw side they have still have a blend of simple and complex carbohydrates. Touring in the summer should be a paradise for vegans, stopping at every rural fruit stand and picking a few pounds of rehydrating, remineralizing fruits for the eating. Peanut butter, red lentils which cook down quick, canned beans, fresh peas, trail mix...

besides beef jerky and macaroni and cheese, what trail foods aren't vegan?
