Hi Peter

 

Good luck. I've phoned ahead to the place my department is going and they will veganise the vegetarian option for me.

Re: Re: Work!

 

Tis the season to be jolly..................apparently?

I am going out for my works meal on Friday to a Thai restaurant, and so will be plying that old entertaining game of explain my diet in a Welsh accent to someone with a strong Thai accent........Anyone know any Thai phrases for I am a vegan, keep that Fish sauce away from my food!?

How are the rest of you guys coping with this seasonal joy?

There is strength in Unity with better chances for support. More Vegans need to be involved in local food banks like

This brings up a question I wanted to ask people. Does anyone know

of some place I can give money or food for vegetarian food baskets?

Like how you can " give a family a Christmas dinner " but it always

includes a turkey or whatever? Has anyone ever had any luck in this

regard? I don't wanna be an ass and not help out people who are

hungry but I also don't want my money going to buying meat.

I don't know which country you are in. In the UK the Hare Krishnas collect

money and give food to homeless people on a daily basis. The food is

vegetarian not vegan (includes milk but not eggs).

I'm in the US, but will follow up on this possibility. Never really

thought about this. Thanks.
