Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 While Connie points out about still doing cheese, I must make a comment regarding this. I have found it very surprising to find out that most vegetarians do not know that 99.9 percent of commercial cheeses contain Rennet (The only brand I know in the US that does not have Rennet is Alta Dena). Rennet is a by product of cows, and is made out of the lining of a cows stomach. I think all vegetarians need to be educated in this. When I was in England a few years back, I went to a pizza hut, and they claimed on their menu that the mozzarella they used was rennetless. In the United States it is not, and is you ask in a restaurant, be prepared for some very strange stares.

Mixed vegetable salads are always good, also, with some garbonzo beans (chick peas) and feta cheese if you're still doing dairy. Vegetable dishes are practically infinite, of course. Rice wine vinegar is nice, and you can always do some mashed avocado and sunflower seeds with it. Connie - Windy Wiedemann Saturday, October 12, 2002 2:26 PM New to Veganism Hi All,I'm new to veganism and am loving it. Have been an on again/off again vegetarian in the past. I need a little help with some alternatives for lunch. Specifically, sandwich's and such. I do make avocado/cucumber sandwiches and have bought wheat roast but would welcome any other suggestions. Maybe some sort of a spread would be good too.Thanks for any advice.windy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Yuck, I never knew this but it doesn’t matter much as I am a vegan and don’t eat cheese anyway, I think when becoming a vegan its just best to check everything your self. I mean like if you go to eat out I would just directly write the company and even then you cant always trust what they say, the best thing to do is say you are allergic to dairy products and then its amazing to what lengths they will go to, to find out J Tammy ~Wouldn't it be awful, wouldn't it be queer to be playing in the woods and be shot by a deer? To be strolling with friends in the afternoon sun, just to be stopped by a deer with a gun and blasted to bits while out having some fun? So consider this thought and remember it clear......It wouldn't be fun to be shot by a deer. ~ susi hall [susiwagnerhall] While Connie points out about still doing cheese, I must make a comment regarding this.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 New to the group! Love it already...! =) Anyway, I REALLY like that idea about saying you're allergic to dairy. I actually had never thought of that, but I'll do it next time I go to a restaurant. ~Laura~ --- ~Tammy~ <tammy wrote: > Yuck, I never knew this but it doesn't matter much > as I am a vegan and > don't eat cheese anyway, I think when becoming a > vegan its just best to > check everything your self.

Here are some things that I like for lunch, with salad: - Hummus - Peanut or almond butter - Marmite (UK) or Vegemite (Australia). I've seen both these in the US too. - Some really *good* quality olive oil and fresh bread - Bean sprouts, grated carrots, tofu, soy sauce, herbs Your mentioning avocado sandwiches has made me hungry. I'm off to make one now... Gerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 This might be the oddest sandwich I've ever heard of, but might be delicious; haven't had a chance to try it, as I don't often eat bread. Perhaps not practical for a work lunch, but... Title: Kale Sandwich Categories: Vegetarian, Vegan, Mcdougall, Sandwiches Yield: 1 servings 3 lg Whole kale leaves, washed -and trimmed Dash lemon juice Dash garlic powder 2 tb Dijon or spicy brown mustard 1 Whole wheat pita bread Steam the kale for 2 minutes and drain off any liquid. Do not chop--keep the leaves in large pieces. Sprinkle with lemon juice and garlic powder and chill. When ready to serve, cut the pita bread in half, spread each pocket with mustard, and then stuff with the cold seasoned kale.
