It has been about 2.5 hrs cruising, enjoying the view of the sharp walls and overhung rock faces with water streams free-falling 100s of meters to sea level. Now we are nearing the town of Sogndal, I go into the kitchen to start preparing the fish soup. Should be easy, just dumping the contents of some frozen bags into a pot and let it heat up, mix some milk in, no problem.<br \/>\nBut the problem comes in the form of Mads who rushes into the kitchen with a frantic look on his face. He grimaces:<br \/>\n\u201cWe have a bit of a&#8230; problem&#8230; eh&#8230; these Spanish are actually not Spanish but Indians and they are s\u00fcper vegetarians. They don&#8217;t even eat fish, eggs, nothing!\u201d At this point I actually half laugh-smile, thinking to myself \u2013 this is what I&#8217;m good at \ud83d\ude42 I used to eat completely vegan minus fish for a year.<br \/>\n\u201cDon&#8217;t worry,\u201d I grin, \u201cI know how to make food like that. Let&#8217;s go out to the village and buy some peas, tomato sauce, frozen veggies, rice&#8230;?\u201d<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ildikototh.com\/wordpress3_0_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4911-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4911\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ildikototh.com\/wordpress3_0_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4911-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ildikototh.com\/wordpress3_0_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4911-800x451.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ildikototh.com\/wordpress3_0_1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG_4911.jpg 1136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\nAnd so it goes \u2013 we get a bunch of random ingredients as I quickly go over in my head what can be made in under 1 hour for these strict-diet Indian women. The lunch ended up being rice with a pea-bean-tomato saucy stew with cooked vegetable medley in a sweet and sour sauce. For some appetizers, we cut melon, bananas, apples, and pears. I had much fun with it, the boat-mate Mathias helping me with it. In the end, the most satisfying thing was that everyone loved the food, I saved someone&#8217;s ass, thus being called the \u201chero\u201d of the day. As a result, my meal was for free as well as unlimited glasses of wine and shrimps in the evening. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/XS31ay7K--2R3Kd0eDFA2QxfgSM8NVctdm8yJXbNp2Xt=w674-h505-no\" width=\"674\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is Thursday, around 2pm.
