How Do You Say Vegetarian In….
August 29th, 2009

This post was inspired by, you guessed it (or maybe you didn’t), my lunch yesterday. Adidas Yeezy 700 Men I was eating my salad with ingredients fresh from my local farmers market and it stuck me that despite being vegetarian since the time I was 11 years old, I have never done a post on vegetarian travel (not that I have been blogging since I was 11, just that in time I have been, I’ve not touched on this topic). coque samsung I love food, especially international food. coque huawei coque iphone 12 mini m bison custodia iphone mini pro max 12 ret11999 coque iphone Trying new cuisines is one of my favorite parts of traveling. coque samsung galaxy s7 edge custodia cover iphone 11 12 mini pro max ferrari emblem p1556 Sadly, when you’re a strict vegetarian, it’s a little more difficult to be gastronomically daring. coque samsung It’s especially difficult in countries where eating fresh fruits and vegetables is taking a major chance with your GI system, since it takes out the major food group of vegetarians. Try as I might to make sure that everything I eat is veg, I am sure that somewhere along the line I’ve eaten something I’d rather not know about. magasin nike fjallraven kanken kids backpack frost green peach pink While I won’t rule out a destination because of it’s lack of vegetarian food, I do like to know ahead of time so I can pack snacks accordingly, or prepare myself for the traveler’s diet. coque samsung galaxy a70 fjallraven kanken kids backpack peach pink While this is certainly not a complete list of countries that are or are not veggie friendly – since I’ve not been to every country – it’s as inclusive as I can get based on my travel experiences. coque samsung Feel free to add! Countries where it’s been easy for me to eat: Italy: Italy is not quite as vegetarian friendly as it might seem, unless you want to eat some form of pizza or caprese panini for breakfast, lunch and dinner. maglia LA LEGA worlddanceacademy.it cover iphone 7 blu 758orw Still, it ranks quite high, however. fjallraven rucksack no 21 medium autumn leaf dentistry custodia iphone x tyui7499 Thailand: If I had to list the easiest, I’d say Thailand. maglia campioni uefa coque iphone Nike FEAR OF GOD UOMO iphone x cover kortholder 989jyj chaussons pokemon Luckily, I love thai food! Singapore: Since everyone speaks English, it was easy to ask for vegetarian, though whether or not it is truly veg is a bit of a mystery. fjallraven kanken mini backpack un blue navy I’d advise against soup. England – Great pub and Indian food Canada – This was kind of a “gimme” Mexico: Be careful that the beans don’t have lard in them. bague argent Countries that weren’t too tricky: Argentina – The most amazing salads I have ever eaten, and a lot of international influence in their food makes it rather easy France – luckily, I love cheese, bread and croissants Australia, New Zealand – I didn’t say healthy, I just said veggie! If you don’t want everything (and I mean everything) buttered, let them know!

Ireland – Potatoes and lots of them!

   A nice useful round-up. The problem in Thailand was avoiding the fish sauce. If you are interested, many of my podcasts are about my travels as a vegan in SE Asia, including Thailand, Cambodia, and the wonderful vegetarian Chinese Buddhist restaurants.

     Hi Bill, yes the problem in most of Asia is the fish sauce. While I tried to avoid it, this is where I say that I’m sure I’ve eaten things I don’t want to know about. In China, I know to avoid Lo Mein sauces all together as they have a fish base. Other than that I ask if it’s fish based though when they say know I just have to believe them unless I know otherwise (or I taste it in the sauce). Curries generally tend to be safe, though not always! Peanut sauces can also be vegetarian/vegan. Will definitely check out you sight, thanks for posting! Haven’t been to Cambodia yet, but it’s very high on my “to visit soon” list!
