“The rice pilaf today for lunch on 20 Jun was an amazing attempt at trying to get more vegetarian options for me. Although it doesn’t compare to the taste of traditional Indian rice pilaf, it still tasted nice. The rice was just a bit too dry, needed more time soaking. But Indian food is extremely difficult to cook right and requires a lot of unique ingredients/spices, so the staff did a good job cooking in my opinion. Curries are optional appreciated recipes to try cooking but hard to make as they require a lot of ingredients, experience, and taste-testing to get right. Staff is showing utmost concern for me and my vegetarianism despite supply challenges. They’re killing it. They’re making efforts to remember my dietary restrictions. MSgt Brown showed great initiative regarding this in particular. However, I’ve never had a vegetarian entree, and I have had meals without vegetarian sides. Several times the vegetarian sides are just raw or steamed vegetables and taste more bland than seasoned or flavored, but I know this team is trying its best. I would like to always have a few vegetarian options from me from the serving line though. I have had amazing mashed potatoes before from this SJ DFAC team, as long as it was bit more salty. Adding the sodium and seasoning does improve flavor across vegetables as long as it’s not overdone. It does however feel like I’m forced to eat the same food every time recently, especially sugary foods as those are my main options. I’m feeling a bit sugar-sick now from eating too much. More variety in general preferred. Ideas for vegetarian food include adding strawberries and blueberries to granola. Avocados and pears would be nice to add by themselves raw to the salad bar; cauliflower, tindora, yam, and beetroot can be added to cooked food options. Hummus and tzatziki sauce might make the salad bar interesting too. This is extremely low priority but hot sauce packets to take to-go would be nice as well when in a rush. Also I’ve found Mexican food tends to be more vegetarian-friendly too.”
