My son's base doesn't offer *any* vegetarian alternative at some

meals. Breakfasts aren't a problem, but lunch is meat, and frequently

dinner is fish ( " Fish *is* vegetarian. " ). One more comment. The Tivol is

not *necessarily* vegetarian...my 21 yo (who was recently released from the

army) discovered accidentally that the " vegetarian meal " was actually being

fried in animal fat. (He could never convince anyone that that made the

food non-vegetarian...)

 

My oldest son had very good luck when he was in the army. He worked

in the " shalishut " which has something to do with personnel. He went to

the dining hall one day and there was no vegetarian meal. He told his

" mefaked " who called the food service supervisor and the mefaked said, " You

know how you need a couple new cooks very soon? I have a vegetarian

soldier who needs to have vegetarian meals at *every* meal. " There was

never another problem... :)
