Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm..trying to become vegitarian, it's very hard though..I'm just slowly getting used to tofu and those veggie burgers...I'm not full veggie yet. And I'm gonna wait till I'm like 18 before I go vegan...so I'll be all fully grown and not worry about my bones and stuffs.

And I'm pretty sure every dessert out there is vegetarian friendly..unless you eat like..meatloaf for.dessertxD
o 3o

honestly, i have never liked fish

when i was much younger i would eat fishsticks on and off but i dont like them anymore

Well, I don't know where you live and you probably don't live in my city, but really, here's what I find....

1- indian restaurants. there are a major subset of indians who don't eat meat for religious reasons. So those people have veggie options, and it ain't badly done tofu.

2- avoid chinese. They don't understand the concept. Vietnamese and some others may work.

3- Salads are generally safe, but you might want to check if the ceasar dressing has anchovy paste, it often does.

4- Lick's veggie burgers are great. I don't know if you have them in your area.

5- If you don't know, ask a friend to come with you and have them try it first.

6- in my experience, veggie sausage is generally pretty good.

7- Tofurkey is gross. Stay away.

I became a vegetarian in January, and it's pretty much become a habit so I don't miss meat at all unless there's like nothing for me to eat but a salad =p
Vegetable Risotto
vegetable broth
rice
butter
and any vegetables you want
1. add butter to pan till it's melted, then add rice and let cook for about 5 minutes then gradually add vegetable broth about 1/2 cup at a time. Cover after you add the broth.
2. saute vegetables
3.rice should be done in about 20 minutes. I like to add cheese to it =)
It's not vegan, but it's really good. they have a recipe for vegan chocolate mousse that looks really good, you just stick tofu and melted chocolate in a food processor and bang.
I miss fish =( I was a pescetarian for a while. but I felt like too much of a fake.

I've been a vegetarian for years now and while it was hard at first, it's very easy now to avoid meat without having issues of wanting it.

I've recently found vegetarian BBQ ribs from a brand, Morning Star, and they are absolutely delicious. I suggest trying them, but put them in the microwave instead of the oven. I also love to eat vegetarian spring rolls from Thai restaurants and, also, you can substitute any pasta dish without the meat. Vegetarian baked spaghetti, yum.

being a vegetarian is so easy =/

i love Morningstar's chik'n patties
especially stir fried with mushrooms and various other veggies over rice. yumm

i dont like veggie lasagna but 5-cheese is good =)

I've been a vegetarian for... 4 years now.
Honestly, I find it incredibly difficult. Because I ate meat for so long I'm still not very used to not eating it. And when I did eat meat, I loved it.
So... smelling meat or being near some things is really hard, but it's the only way I can eat. When I learned about animal treatment before slaughter I told myself I wouldn't eat meat again.

As some people have mentioned, Indian restraunts are good. I find that Mexican restraunts are nice as well, because they always have options with just cheese. Most American places (if they don't have salad) have side dished you can combine to make a main meal (baked potatoes, beans, etc.). I've never been to a restraunt where they wouldn't take the meat out of a dish.

Main advice: check with the waiter/person at the counter before you order. Make it clear that you are vegetarian and that you don't want meat in your order. Some places have bacon and other things in places where they just don't belong, without mentions on the menu.
