Dining Out & Traveling
(No responsibility is taken for external links, some of which may be of practical use whilst not having an ethical vegan ethos).
The easiest way to ensure that you can eat ethically when you are visiting a friend or relative is to phone ahead. Be sure to explain what vegans do and do not eat. You can suggest some recipes or, if you are visiting a friend, you can offer to bring one of the courses or some side dishes with you. Some people find this aspect of being vegan a little awkward. Look on it as an opportunity to do some practical vegan education. It will not be the end of the world if things don’t work out; you can always eat a snack when you get home.
If you are going to a restaurant or other event such as a party or wedding, the same advice applies. Given notice and some tips, most people are willing to accommodate your ethical beliefs. If you are at a restaurant without any vegan options please speak to the chef and let him or her know how easy it is to veganise any meal.
