People have a vision of what vegetarians/vegans are..they think you eat salad all day and throw up at the sight ofmeat? Im unlike most vegans.
Im not a big fan of salad, I dont eat vegan cheese( still freaks me out) and I dont really like juice.
I want to know what dont people eat besides meat and dairy...
GREEN SALAD. seriously?!
Thats like all there is to eat on the traditional (swiss/french) restaurants that might be slightly vegan. And by that I mean I'm sure the dressing has milk in it.
Example:
Husband: "So and so has invited us to go to dinner at La Caravelle tomorrow night..."
Me: "And is there anything for me to eat at this sort of restaurant?"
Husband: "I'm sure there's salad..."
Me: "Seriously? Do you think I want to go to a restaurant and pay 15chf to eat a salad made of lettuce that I could make at home for 2chf?! And usually salads in this country are filled with lardons (nasty french bacon), eggs and milky/creamy dressings. So you can tell them no or pick something more appropriate for everyone."
I love him, but still.
ha! i remember when i went to france that there was always lardon in the dressing. meat in your salad dressing, really? i wound up eating a lot of salad with olive oil/vinegar and sautéed potatoes there.
Seriously worst food ever here. EVER.

I can relate. Living in Holland is pretty vegan no man's land when it comes to eating out. Can you imagine my added pain as being a Celiac? I actually had someone tell me that being Celiac as tough enough and "Why would you torture yourself by being vegan?"...Hmm :hrmm: so I just let animals be tortured and killed, so I can have a bigger variety when eating out? No thanks!
