When I traveled Scotland and England last year I was impressed by the

vegetarian (not vegan) food selections. I traveled by budget so ate mainly at

cafes and stores. McDs and Burger King both offer veg bugers. BK has a spicey

delux bean burger plus a garden style burger. McD has a vegetable and carrot

and pea pattie. They are good but expensive. The value meal was almost 5

pounds which is about $8. They call it a large coke but it is equivelant to a

childs soda here in the states. My daughter loved the fries. I think she

needed comfort food from home.

I loved the spinach and cheese pasteries made with whole wheat flour. Those

were from neighborhood bakeries. Cafes offer cheap bites but they are a cross

between school food and hospital food. I stopped in there for tea and soup

with bread. The friend I traveled some with loved indian food. Many veg

varieties there. Kiosks offer those triangle homemade style sandwiches. I

actually started to like the cheese and braxton pickles or whatever they are

called. Tomatoe and american cheese on white bread seems to be a hit there

but I didnt like it.

Hi, I'm new to the list and have been lurking, but I had to say something on this subject. I was in Ireland last year and I thoroughly enjoyed the Veggie/pea/carrot burger from McD's that you referred to. I emailed McD's when I got home and asked them why they don't have them here! (If they did, I'd never eat anywhere else again....lol) I was told that since there is no market, they don't feel the need. I think that is total hogwash myself. I have tried to find others who would be interested in sending a petition to McD's, but so far, no luck doing that. Anyone on this list interested??

Peace and love,

Rena

Hello,

From one lurker to another, I would be very excited to start a list and get

some vegetarian food at fast food restaurants.

Hello again,

Sorry about that last message, there was an accident with the buttons. As

i was saying, i am a college student and it is very hard for me to find

vegetarian food late at night. I usually have to go to the grocery store to

get anything that even resembles edible. If McD's or other fast food

restaurants had something more veggie-friendly then i think they could do

alot of business. We should definitely start a petition or letter campaign.
