Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 thanks for dropping by the vegan list. > By my understanding it won't be too great. Apparently the US > is ok for veggies, but not so hot for vegans Big cities in the US are great for vegans. All the wholeshops/cafes are really aware of the dairy thing, presumably too afraid to be sued for poisoning some lactose intolerant dieter. There are lots of hard core vegans that look really like the ones here do, e.g. skinny, indy, intelligent. lots of ethic places that are safe too. [ There is a Belgian chips shop in New York that does vegan chips - or fries to American ]. Outside of the cities it can be hell though. Football pitched sized supermarkets with nothing to eat in them. No real food at all, everyting chemicalised. Corn chips [ i.e. crisps ] take the place of bagels more readily but'll bring you out in bumps if you ate too many with all that oil. check out www.veggiedining.com for starters and mains. html does not work on the digest mode if you want to pictures, best stick it on a server and send the URL. May be we should start a rogues gallery? In France, there is a chain called La Vie Claire, like an organic stylish holland and Barrett. In Paris, a great Macrobiotic restaurant just of St Germaine de Pres. Lots of independent stores and great fruit. In Finland, there are many wholefood restaurants in Helsinki including live food ones. Stockholm a little harder but similar to the UK. Germany can be rough [ meat and two meat ] except where there are Rudolf Steiner schools but Italy is great [ olive oil not butter/lots of veg and pasta ]. Austria you are on coffee and bagels. Spain is tough again as all the chefs are so bull bollocks macho but in Barcelona you could eat in a new veg restaurant every day for week. Very well recommended, especially the macrobiotic ones. Fantastic city for a veg*holiday, lots of local colour and its own underground arty music scene. john self proclaimed list mom on a personal note: just out of interest, what sort of programming do you do? there seem to be more than a few geekans on this list. actually you missed one tag liked a lot which was veg*ns.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Thanx for that, it's the last thing I'm reading before I get to bed. I'm pretty tired and will reply properly in the morning. Lots of greaat into there! I code D3D mainly, but using other people's engines. I do some 2D stuff also though. I'll try to get examples posted when I get a second. vegan-network, john allan <jallan@f...> wrote: > thanks for dropping by the vegan list. > > > By my understanding it won't be too great.
