Camino De Santiago Food Hacks & Tips!
Well pilgrims, I'm not gonna lie to you, the famous Pilgrim Menu is not well, great. In fact, it often gets kinda boring and bland IMO. But that's ok, we can all still be grateful it exists, we can also use work arounds to make it better! I know often in the groups people rave about everything, heaven forbid someone critique an albergue, warn of bedbugs at a certain location, critique the food on offer or note how they were treated by a hospitalero ...do this once in an effort to give a heads up to future peregrinos, no matter how honorable your intention, and risk ridicule and a public spanking (or have the post removed altogether). But I need to keep it real, especially for the newb! The Camino, despite all the romantic notions it evokes, is not all wine and roses, um...I mean poppies, and that's ok! After all, it's a pilgrimage!
I also understand everyone is different and have different tastes and opinions (and diets), these are just mine. That said, if you have a similar take on the food offered on the menu, these are some easy tips, and tricks to get you thru that worked well for me! I also include some cooking tips for those that want to do their own culinary creating along the way! Buen Provecho!!!
As always, any piece of gear mentioned (in theory) should be posted below! But if there is something I have forgotten do not hesitate to reach out and pick my brain: peregrino@shelltoucher.com

A lot of good hacks. Sounds like the food on the Camino is a bit different than on the Via Francigena. I found that the bread was always great so I kept whatever the local specialty bread was in my pack.
Yes, I have heard nothing but GREAT things about the Via when it comes to the food. I believe the Pilgrim Menu is another version of the Affordable Lunch menu (menu del dia) Franco actually put in place. It was to ensure every citizen could buy something to eat. However, being forced to offer a cheap lunch usually means cheap ingredients too…sooooo. I’m only speculating here but I feel there is a correlation to some extent. I’d love to hear what u think after experiencing the Frances! Thanks for tuning in again David!
Really helpful! Thank you!
You're welcome!
Some great ideas, gonna start squirreling away all the condiment packages and bring along some wasabi - it goes great with peanut butter!
Ohhhh that’s a great idea!
Oh how I lol’d at this episode! 😂
With a corkscrew I figure I won’t open and drink a bottle on my own, and carry the bottle. So I’ll always be with people
Ha, Smart! Thanks for tuning in EV!!!
Corkscrew!!!!
I’ve travelled around some of Spain in the campervan eating the menu del Diaz,which is usually excellent. Three courses with bread, olives and a carafe or bottle of wine which you can take with if you don’t drink it all! 8 to 12 euros. I’m wondering how the pilgrim menu will compare or perhaps or even likely it’s just a rebrand…
I'd say it's a rebrand! The three course however are usually a "salad" made up of iceberg lettuce, over ripe tomato & onion (with a dollop of mayo) or maybe a soup or broth. Then there's the Pasta & a meat sauce, possibly served with fries, and bread...no butter. Or maybe chicken on the bone? For desert could be anything from an apple to flan to yogurt. (yes yogurt). The wine was the best part but having to hike so early the next day I would often just have a glass.
Here is a good way to carry spices on trial or backpacking. I buy a small bag of "Pill pouches", little tiny ziploc bags to carry your prescriptions in when you dont want to carry the labeled bottles. I use them for individual dry spices like basil, garlic powder , oregano, etc. They have a space for writing the contents and weigh nothing. Easy way to "spice things up"
I actually did the same thing on my recent trip! I thought I posted a clip of that tip in this vid...but maybe that was on my instagram? I brought just a couple spices from home, but a few more empty packet/bags to fill as needed during the camino!
i love your hat!
You “get me”. 😅
