20 of your tales of vegetarian woe

[Kalidurga]

2. I am a pretty new non meat eater.

I am so new I still eat soy burgers. I probably won't give them up, I don't know yet. Anyway, the first thing since I am out and about frequently and don't usually bring food with me, was that it's difficult to find vegetarian options. I mean meat is freaking everywhere and even in most salads.

It is even more difficult if you don't eat eggs or dairy, in some cases nearly impossible. It is so difficult that I have on occasion had to resort to having a V8 and a bag of Sun Chips, of course I had a hard time finding Sun Chips that didn't have cheese on them.

I am not vegan yet, though so I will occasionally eat cheese. But, sometimes I am just not in the mood, so when I can't have a meatless cheese-less meal, it is a bummer. Once, I had to go all over the school just to find an egg salad sandwich. Obviously this was before I quit eating eggs. But, I still have mayo sometimes. Quitting that soon too.

I dread the day I am full on vegan for this reason. I will never be able to leave my house without bringing my own food. I pretty much have to make all my food from scratch, because finding good vegan or vegetarian food is not as easy as it looks.
