So , how was the bun?

In Germany the fast food of choice is either currywurst, a chopped up white or red worst served with a spicy ketchup and fries or a doner, a Turkish pita pocket sandwich. Very  yummy!

Doner (turk) = donaire (French Palestine) = schwarma (Arab) = gyro (Greek) = felafel in pita (vegetarian) = (who knows how many other variations) - meat (or felafel) in a pita (wrap or pocket) with some veggies (cucumber, onion, or ?) and yogurt-based sauce. Maybe the ultimate key to peace in the Middle East?

A number of years ago we were visiting my wife's cousin in Pittsburgh. Around 7 pm they announced that they were going out.  They changed into their pirate oufits; black hd t shirt leather pants etc and drove to a bar in their Chevy.
It's a life choice

  That is priceless.

In regards to the posting, when I am riding and stop for a bite I am not interested in weird and wonderful foods. A filled bread roll with either a cup of tea or coffee. If they have all sorts of (expensive) exotica I just walk out. It's gotta be a filled bun.

When I was travelling through NZ last Nov., I tried to empty the country of meat pies.  Mmmmm, good!

I suspect you put on a few pounds trying Tom.

  and the american indians they had no yeast.  therefore no bread.  and therefore no beer or fermented alcohol. 

 Actually we had low alcohol content beer and unleavened bread .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

is not unleavened bread, bread without yeast?  and which culture invented non alcoholic beer, but not beer beer??

 Unleavened bread is still bread , and what we brewed did have some alcohol content , probably about like modern light beer W/O the bad ads

 I have found a sort of foil packet containing about 10 ounces of Bombay lentils.
 Put the whole packet in boiling water for 5 or 10 minutes then tear off the end of the packet and spoon out and eat.  Outstanding fare, excellent for on the road since it requires nothing more than boiling water to prepare.  The water can then be used for tea or instant coffee.  Burn the packet when done.  Lick
 the spoon clean and put it back into your pocket.  Burp!

[oldbike54]

im not having this argument with you.     its bread,potato,  rice or noodle. every culture has a starch.  the french introduced bread to the vietnamese and hence the banh mi.  and a proper taco has two corn tortillas.  but bread is bread. you cant convince me that a corn tortilla is bread.

 We were making cornbread in pottery long before European contact . No , not exactly the type of bread served in Europe , but still a form of bread . The tortilla was more of a Central and South American Indian staple .

Once I arrive I carry the old Styrofoam cup of instant noodles as a quick and easy meal if required. Again, just add boiling water. Good especially if you arrive cold and wet. Sounds pretty similar to yours Jim, although I think your lentils would be a helluva lot healthier.

[oldbike54]

cornbread pre dates tortillas?

 No , probably about 100 years later , it took about that long for maize to find its way from the Central American Indians to the more Northern tribes . Still , cornbread predates Euro contact by at least a thousand years .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

one thousand?

 Yep . The growing and processing of rice is probably older than that on this continent , and potatoes are even older than that . Over half of all farm crops grown in the world were developed by the first peoples .

 Dusty

[oldbike54]

eh. perhaps.  the only rice heavy peoples ive encountered are in louisiana.  so i question your claim.

 How much time have you spent around reservations ? Or around Native Americans in general . The Northern tribes didn't include much rice in their diets , kind of hard to grow rice in Wyoming   The Indians simply mutated native plants . Check out some of the varieties of potatoes grown by the SW and Central American tribes , very unusual and tasty .

 There was a reason no fat Indians existed in precolumbian times , we ate no cow or french fries . I still eat very little , can't explain your uniquely narrow taste in food .

Also, northern tribes were mostly nomadic so not a lot of farming was done. Pueblo Indians grew many varieties of crops.
The most unfortunate thing modern times and foods has done to native Americans, due to the lack of movement and a more sedimentary lifestyle is a very high rate of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes.

I've been loving the Pho and VN sandwiches.

This should give some clarity.  Yeast is not needed to make bread.  http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bread 

You don't need yeast to make a beer.  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/beer
