People often ask what do vegetarians eat? The first thing that springs to mind is usually being deprived of foods such as hamburgers or never being able to eat out at restaurants and have anything other than salads. However, this is not the case at all, there are a number of delicious and healthy vegetarian options which can be substituted. For example the burger, vegetarian burger patties are now readily available in most supermarkets and can even be made using simple ingredients such as rice, lentils and oats. Other simple and tasty at home options include meals such as spinach and ricotta cannelloni, rather than meat based pasta, vegetable based soups, omelettes, salads and desserts.
In addition to meatless dishes that you can have at home, there is a huge variety of vegetarian options available at restaurants which are equally as satisfying and tasty as dishes with meat. Indian food for example includes a vast number of vegetarian choices from entree’s such as onion bhajis and poppadom’s with raita dip, to mains of red lentil Dahl, curried vegetables and potato filled flat bread, and finally deserts such as sorbet, allowing for a exciting and tasty vegetarian three course meal. In fact most types of cuisine include a wide variety of meatless meals, such as tacos, burritos and nachos of Mexican restaurants, vegetarian pastas and pizzas from the Italian, fresh stir-fried vegetable dishes available when dining at Chinese and Thai style restaurants, the list goes on.
So while at first it seemed difficult to comprehend how it is easy to find as many vegetarian options as it is for meat it can be seen that there is a lot of choice. In addition to knowing that there is readily available variety of vegetarian food both at home and whilst dining out, there are the benefits of eating much healthier choices whilst having a meal out with family or friends.
