MYMEALS ONWHEELS
Looking back on things now, perhaps my being a 'van-vendor' or a mobile canteen
owner was meant to be. I've pretty much always been on the road. My father's work
involved moving around a lot, so by the time I was fifteen, I had been to six different
schools! When I was at college studying Hospitality, I began to work part-time for a
programme called 'Meals On Wheels'.
I was a volunteer who drove a van stocked with prepared food. I handed out the food
to various elderly or ill people who couldn't prepare meals for themselves. The meals were
really good. All well prepared, with hygiene and nutrition taking priority, and people even
had choices of vegetarian, diabetic or particular types of ethnic cuisine.
I had to stop working there when I got a full-time job for a catering business. I learnt
many tricks of the food trade there as well, but my goal was to become my own boss. I
didn't have enough money to open up a restaurant though, and I was still young and unsure
of exactly what I wanted to do.
A trip to Japan was the inspiration for my current mobile food business. I loved
trying the variety of foods at the 'yatai' or street stalls. One of the owners told me that 'yatai'
actually means 'a cart with a roof', and I even saw some of these traditional food pushcarts
being towed around. What I also saw were the modern equivalents, large vans that had been
converted into mobile kitchens with a large serving window in their side. Customers would
line up by the dozens to buy their range of offerings.
