Restaurant Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| Burger King currently has a veggie berger available, which is remarkable for a fast food restaurant. Generally, the fast food outlets are especially bad as even the baked beans at some of them are cooked or served with animal fat! Now with the exception of Burger King, the others have little to pick and choose from. | Chinese restaurants are especially good in offering vegetarian egg rolls, spicy vegetables on rice, serving a variety of tofu & crispy bean curd preparations. | American Traditional, Italian, Mexican, Indian - most offer delicious vegetarian prepared selections. | More difficult places are the ranch type houses that emphasize beef dishes, with little else of substance! |
Food Marketing Suggestions |
| There is such a variety of selections available at the
supermarket. In the frozen food section, you can pick all types of prepared
dinners, many now have the salad bar with a variety of vegetables, fruits, and
prepared pasta-type salad dishes. Giant, Safeway, Trader Joes and Fresh Fields
are good. For special treats, I like Fresh Fields as they have large selections of whole foods that really not only taste good, but are so good for you. I especially enjoy the focaccia bread there. They also have honey baked soy nuts which make a good snack. Also, please note that some foods labeled as vegetarian do not always deliver, a case in point is Stouffer's vegetable lasagna with white sauce. However, Uncle Ben's Rice Teriyaki stir fry vegetable rice bowl gets high marks for flavorful food. The spicy meatless buffalo wings by Morningstar are simply delicious dipped in ketchup. Cooking methods also make a difference, e.g. frying soy hot dogs in onions with margarine and olive oil, is tastier than boiling them. And, cooking vegetables on the grill that have been marinated ae better than those that have not been. |
