Vegetarian Travel Guide
| 
Apr 2 02:11 UTC 1992 |
COURTESY OF POPCORN AND USENET:
The Vegetarian Society of the U.K. (VSUK) publishes the "International
Vegetarian Travel Guide", which concentrates on Veg. Restaurants & guesthousts
in England & Europe, listing establishments for each city in every country.
Phone & order the latest guide. It's about 4 pounds, and you can put it on
your Mastercard or Visa. Using a credit card avoids you the conversion problem
& international money order charge (most banks charge FIVE dollars!). ATTENTION
from the USA, be SURE to specify AIR-MAIL, or it'll take two months by ship.
The International Vegetarian Travel Guide
"Lists hundreds of places to eat out & stayover!" about 4 pounds
The Vegetarian Handbook
"The guide to living a vegetarian lifestyle!" about 3 pounds
Also, you can become a member of VSUK via phone, and then you'd receive
their [great] magazine called , surprisingly enuf, "The Vegetarian" and the
Vegetarian Handbook. They also have a children's quarterly magazine.
I think the magazine is 10 pounds. With membership 16 pounds. Airmail
delivery is 10 pounds additional.
VSUK; Parkdale, Dunham Road; Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 4QG; ENGLAND
Telephone: (061)928-0793 [for USA dialers, the country code is 44, so to
direct-dial most of us would dial: 011 44 61 928-0793 ]
Remark: If you do travel about, the VSUK solicits your help: if you
have any additions/changes to info. in the Handbook, send it in to them.

Most airlines will also accomodate vegetarian and vegan meal requests.
(And lots of these meals are better than the carnivorous ones.)

I usually fly North West when I have to go to San Jose, CA. There is a
stop in Minn. where I usually try to grab a bite. I don't even try to
eat on these planes anymore, I usually just bring a sack lunch. I used
to have a thing about "getting my money's worth" so I would suffer
through all the horrible airplane vegitarian meals but now I find that
I maintain my sanity better if I don't even bother.

Dunno, I think even the Northworst vegetarian meals are better
than the mystery-meat-drenched-in-a-bad-sauce ones that everyone
else gets. But I try to fly United, anyway. Mainly because their
union has been trying to buy out the airline, and management didn't
try to break them for it (unlike Eastern and Continental).

I haven't flown for 3 years or so but Delta had a good lacto veggie
meal - they gave me several choices. I had eggplant parmijon <?sp>
a good salid and fresh homemade brown bread. Later snack was
pita bread and homus and trail mix. All good except the other
passengers were almost ready to kill me for the food they gave me
Often you can call an airline ahead of time and order from
several choices. BTW Japan Air lines has great veggie food.

My sister who works for Northwest advises vegetarians to order the
fruit plate instead of the vegie meals. They are always meatless,
most often diary-free, and generally fresher and better tasting than
any of the other meals. My experience is that she is correct.

Most college campus resturants do not offer a very good vege cusine...when
my organization approached the universtiy with this problem we were fined
large sums of money for lost bussiness...the next week we blocked the entrance
to the building housing the university food service...all fines were droped and
more veges are seen now...just a little attention goes a long way

(I am using Dunja's login)
I am Carsten, a Dutch anthropology student from Holland. I want to
studytravellers and new-age types in America/Canada. Does anyone know an
adress (normal or E-mail) of someone living in tribal ways (I know people like
that are unlikely to hoe either a mailbox or a computer, but I want to try
anyway). Or maybe you know someone in the USA who might know something about
where to find or how to establish contact with tribal/new age/travellers.
please help I am desperate.

My most awful experience was in Korean Air. They haven't even heard about
vegetarianism. They looked at me like seeing a guy who just landed from Mars

with email addresses Dunja, but I'll be onteh lookout.

Hi, you! Where are you located? Maybe we can have a vegetarian potluck some
time if you are in Ann Arbor.

Hi, I'm new to this thing but so it goes,
First off, does anyone know if there's some kind of "officail" label for
folks who eat fish and seafood but no other types o' meat? I've been
one of these, whatever they are, for about 12 years now, so should
probably know the label.
Also, if you ever happen to be in Victoria, B.C. - which is where I was
last week - be sure to go to a place called Re-bar, they are all veggie
and make an awesome "Monk's Curry" with chick peas and tofu.

Welcome Steve!
As far as I knew people who eat fish and seafood, but no other types of meat
have no special designation -- which seems odd since one step further and you
get into all kinds of gradients of vegetarian.
I guess you can pick one, if you want, and let us know what it is. Then we'll
have an "official" term -- at least here. ;)

"'official' label for folks who eat fish and seafood but no other types 'o
meat?"
Um, yes...I believe they are called lesbians. Ask any of the chick's in
"femme" they'll tell you.
