redbird: London travelcard showing my face (travelcard)

Because it can't hurt to ask:

I'm flying from Seattle to Montreal next week, via Vancouver (YVR). I have about a two-hour connection, and am wondering what my chances are having time to buy lunch on the ground. The Vancouver airport website seems to say that I may have to go through airport security again (having already done it in Seattle), as well as Canadian customs and immigration, which seems a bit odd and potentially time-consuming. It's also not clear, if I check a bag in Seattle, how far I will have to schlep it in Vancouver before giving it back to Air Canada to transport the rest of the way.

I'm not too worried, because it sounds as though Air Canada will be happy to sell me a sandwich and serve me something caffeinated, so I won't starve or get extra-grumpy, but while airport fast food isn't great, it's probably better than what I'd be able to buy on board. (Going through customs and immigration is a constraint on the "just bring lunch from home" approach, though it will do no harm to see if they'll let me bring some pecans or cashews into the country.)

Coming in from network, I cannot answer your main question, but I can say that YVR is seriously above the norm for available airport food; depending on what gate you fly out of there may be a mini-Milestones restaurant (it's over in domestic A-B).

Earls-type, modern western. Slightly more expensive than fast food, but is real food. There's also a White Spot equivalent down the other end of Domestic (similar but sort of half a step down in quality), and if you do go out of security/have time, there's actually a very GOOD sushi restaurant down International Departures (which is quite close to US arrivals). There should also be a couple stir-fry places and sandwich-type cafe places in domestic security that are above the usual airport-fast-food in terms of edibility.
