Your summer rolls also fulfill the most important feature for food that you take on the plane - low odor. I always figure that if I do not want to smell someone's carnivorous feast, I should return the favor by bringing non-stinky foods on the plane with me as well. I am flying to Amsterdam in two weeks (yay) and ordered a vegan meal. We shall see how that goes. I will pack backup food - maybe spring rolls!
On the upside, they put a lot more thought into food on international flights. I suspect this is to avoid a passenger coup somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean.
On the downside, I am flying on a domestic carrier. Almost everything seems to be better on the international carriers. I will never forget the time that I was flying home from France on Air France with my then four year old. She developed some sort of stomach flu on the plane and could not stop throwing up. The flight attendants found anti-nausea drugs that were suitable for a preschooler, brought apple juice, water, crackers, loads of cleaning supplies, bags for her to throw up in, endless glasses of wine (that was for me and very much appreciated) and anything else they could think of the entire flight. They even offered to help clean up the (thankfully small) messes when she did not quite make it to the restroom or bag in time. I will forever have a soft spot for Air France.
Flying to Amsterdam is easy because I can make food at home in my kitchen to bring. My bigger dilemma is when the now sixteen year old and I fly home. Any suggestions for things we can pick up to bring on the flights back home that will not leave us feeling like crap?
We love making spring rolls, and I can’t wait to try these! I’m wondering how you keep them from all sticking together... I’d love to make them up ahead of time but I’m afraid I’d have one sticky lump of spring roll lol
Also, any tips for getting a tight roll?
We have just a short camping trip planned... hubby is having a hip replacement in a couple of weeks so our traveling this summer is limited; but looking forward to getting back out hiking next year!

I have found when we call airlines with vegan food we actually get a semi good meal lol Especially on long flights to Europe
Oh dang these look good! I love making this type of roll but rice paper never cooperates with me lol
I LOVE the summer rolls in your first book so I can’t wait to try these…thanks..
How do you solve the issue of them sticking together after you make them? Because that has been a real mess before.
