Paralympic food

Also, I have been up for 2 hours longer than I meant to be, trying to extract information from the London 2012 website - which is a complete failure. The Olympics have happened, and yet there's STILL no information about what sort of food exists inside the various venues. Apart from McDonalds. Which I generally avoid for ethical reasons, such as

I would assume 'nothing I can eat for ethical or financial reasons' and take your own.

Oops, hit the wrong key.

It was clear from the Olympics that rules were being bent (umbrellas!) and, utterly cynically, I suspect that this will happen even more for the Paralympics.

So I would ask people who have been to the venue(s) you are going to, and then think about taking what you need.

Thinking about it, I do know vegan-cluefull people who went to the main park. I will ask them.

I went to ExCel and the Olympic stadium. The latter has a variety of foods if you can spend the time hiking around all the stalls - there was an olives stall for example. The main options close to the seats are all unbranded organised by cuisine - curry, fish&chips, Chinese, sandwiches etc. All had veg options but I doubt vegan.

Excel is worse as once in the hall for your event its only cafe and pasties and cadbury chocolate.

However we had no problem with a large picnic for 4 and half a dozen water bottles. The water fountains are next to each loos block. And the security/usher teams were all lovely. Id take food.
