I'll do a piece on lunch at the restaurants in the mountains. I couldn't take pictures of the show windows of the cafeteria, but they served a variety of dishes that were unknown to us. We tended to choose oily, high-caloric or highly-sweetened, what you call western, dishes from curiosity at around the beginning of the stay. The first picture shows the lunch on the first day. I don't remember the name of the dish and the soup. I wore my ski boots and was unstable in walking and I had spilt the soup a little. A bottle on which "Kokanee" is printed is one of the Canadian beers.
The second picture shows what they say are Japanese noodles, but I couldn't define its name. My friend said, "The taste was not bad! It's OK." As for me, I ordered consomme beef soup. Some might wonder if that was all? Actually No. We brought rice balls that we prepared this morning as we cooked too much rice the previous night. Now, we had lunch today in Glacier Creek Lodge in Blackcomb. Shortly after we started eating, I found people around us having a quick look at us. I was afraid at first that we weren't allowed to bring food in the lodge, but that was not true.
We wrapped rice balls with thin sheets of dried seaweed, which is called "Nori" and is very popular and everyone in Japan knows it. People around us seemingly looked at them as if they were grotesque. (grin)
