The Pepper Plate comes in three sizes. The small version comes with a small tub of hummus, pita bread or pita chips, and either fresh or pickled peppers. The medium version has a medium tub of hummus with both fresh and pickled peppers, pita bread or pita chips. The large version includes a small tub of hummus, a small tub of muhammara, a small tub of yogurt, fresh peppers, pickled peppers, olives, falafel, pita bread, and pita chips.

Muhammara (roasted red pepper and walnut dip)

The Humdinger is a platter with two large tubs of hummus (same or different flavors), pita bread, hard-boiled eggs, falafel, either Za'atar Maple Chicken Kebabs or shawarma meat (or extra falafel in the vegetarian version), tabouli, date or pomegranate jallab drink (with extra syrup available), and dessert.
Kardal designed this after Zipper found his food truck and told all his teleporter friends about it, then Kardal learned that teleporters are high-burn.

Hungry Hungry Hippies is a food truck that specializes in rustic health food. It serves Buddha bowls, falafel, fresh fruits and vegetables, granola, hummus, tabbouli, and yogurt. Sandwiches are made with whole-grain breads, homemade spreads, sprouts and other vegetables along with organic pastured meats. Dates, honey, and maple syrup make up most of the sweeteners used. Beverages include tea, kombucha, fruit juices, and plant-based milks. Hungry Hungry Hippies spends most of its time in Rutledge or the surrounding county. So much of their menu was already halal-compatible that they simply made that their standard and put the few haram items like bacon into a separate serving station. The business is run by Emerald Mountain Glen.

Crispy Baked Falafel

Garlic Lover's Hummus

Multigrain Bread

Date Cookies
This recipe can be halal if you use nonalcoholic vanilla extract, vanilla powder, or a vanilla bean.

Hippie food is natural more than processed, fresh more than preserved, simple more than complicated, plant-based more than animal-based, cosmopolitan, healthy, hearty, cheap, casual, and good for feeding a crowd.

Leaf in the Wind is a food truck chain, based out of Vermont but serving nearby states also, that sells maple everything. Their logo is an autumn maple leaf flying away. They sell maple syrup, sugar, and vinegar; hard candy and sugar-on-snow; and many mixed items like maple creemee (soft-serve ice cream), powerballs, jerky, and grilled foods brushed with maple glaze.

Gay Paree is a food truck run by a collective of queer francophones. It serves Parisian street foods like crepes and jambon beurre.

Mountain Crepes is a collection of food trucks and carts that serve crepes. There are healthy or indulgent options, sweet or savory fillings, vegan or other special dietary needs (recently adding halal), and various different flours including white, whole wheat, buckwheat, and gluten-free.

Historical Abenaki recipes

Abenaki Flint Cornbread

1 cup Abenaki Flint cornmeal
1 cup flour, sifted (I used Maine Grains flour)
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
2 Tablespoons butter or lard, melted
optional: 3 to 4 slices finely cut raw bacon

Seven Sisters is a Terramagne-American food truck chain run by the Abenaki people. It began in Rutledge County but now serves much of Vermont. Foods focus on traditional crops such as corn, squash, beans, sunflowers, sunchokes, ground cherries, and maple. (Historically the seventh sister was tobacco, but it's for ceremonial use rather than food, so they count maple instead.) Offerings include soups and stews, casseroles, breads, and a few sweets.

As of Saturday, July 9, 2016, Unit O of Tower A (putty-colored) of Family Business Rest is a teleport facility with a small landing pad in the living room and a larger one in the bedroom.

A 24x24 2-car garage (576 square feet, 8 foot walls) was delivered to a corner of the parking lot, to serve as a teleport shed for cargo.
