    Thats so true. Thankfully asian restaurants usually have options because european cuisine sucks when it comes to vegans or even vegetarians.

      Although, you do have to watch out sometime. Egg and fish (sauce) could be used for some dishes without explicitly telling you about that beforehand.

      Apparently that is a problem with kimchi, for example, where the animal-derived ingredients are not considered to be part of the “main ingredients”, like nappa cabbage or radishes, so they can sometimes be forgotten when asked if it’s vegan.

        Yes, same shit with genuine parmesan not being vegetarian because of animal rennet. Lots of cheeses are like this

      Tell me you know nothing about European cuisines without telling me you know nothing about European cuisines.

      Vegan is going to be a bit harder in the northern parts because butter but there’s a fuckton of traditional naturally vegetarian dishes. Peasants back in the days had maybe a pig that they raised for food and another to sell, that’s not a “meat every day” type of supply. Eggs are a different matter.

        Im from poland. Most „traditional” restaurants have no or one main dish that is vegetarian. Theres even meat in dishes that are potato based, because thats how people ate them since the 19th century.

            If theyre not served with skwarki (fried bacon) they are one of the few choices. Other are placki ziemniaczane (hash browns) and those too are often served with meat but you can get them with sour cream or sugar

        I love american chinese food so much, but the last place I got Buddah’s delight was definitely a bunch of canned stuff mixed in a bowl with the saddest fried tofu ever. I have messed up some tofu and this was worse.
