8/18/2016 0 Comments Eating Vegetarian in EuropeNow that I am back home, I thought I would talk a little bit about the food overseas. Before I left for London, I had heard that it was one of the best food cities in the world. I am not saying that's totally off, only that you need to be fairly wealthy to taste any of that food. Living in Portland, I can pretty much walk into any hole in the wall and safely assume the food will be good. I can confidently tell you this is not the case in London. Pub food is generally terrible, and please don't trust the sandwiches at Tesco's, no matter how desperate you are. Good, inexpensive food isn't impossible to find, it's more that you can't trust just anywhere to have it. As a vegetarian, it was still relatively easy to find places to eat. The biggest difference I discovered is that veggie burgers are made with something similar to squeaky cheese? I did suggest several little places I liked in Bloomsbury previously. If anything, you can always go to Waitrose and get a slice of reasonably priced pizza or soup. Italy, however, is a DREAM for carb loving vegetarians like me. Paris proved the most difficult considering most traditional French dishes include meat (even pigeon). I found myself eating croissants and cheese most days. French onion soup is surprisingly difficult to find, but if you do, TRY IT. It's delicious. Long story short, use tripadvisor for everything. Europe is extremely vegetarian friendly so no worries. Even vegans will be happy eating in London, though it will be more difficult everywhere else. I posted a few yummy meals below!
