Vegetarian Styles
Vegetarians are people who don’t eat meat or meat products in there meals. They only eat vegetable or vegetable based foods. There are many reason for people not to eat meat like financial, health or religious reasons. There is sometimes a debate on what it really means to be a true vegetarian. Some people think that it is alright to eat some fish or poultry and there bi-products and still be called a vegetarian. There is now the Vegetarian Society who has been able to clarify the matter. They say that one is a vegetarian if they do not eat any sort of meat from beef, poultry or fish of any kind. Vegetable and grains only to be a true vegetarian.
It used to be that vegetarians could really only eat what they make at home. Especially in the United States. The U.S. is such a meat based country and it used to be hard to find anything other than a salad for dinner if one was a vegetarian. Even side dishes have some sort of meat or poultry bi-product. Recipes’s for creamed spinach often calls for chicken or beef broth and use cream as a base. A good vegetarian recipe would be a sauteed spinach with out the use of butter.
Now more people can go out to their favorite restaurant and have a vegetarian meal but the best place to go would be to a vegetarian restaurant like this. Here you would find the Asian and Indian influences in the foods that come from the countries that perfected the vegetarian meal. There are many spices used in the dishes that add a lot of flavor to the vegetable dishes with out using butter or other meat bi-products. Some of the spices found in Egyptian food are cumin, garlic, onion and allspice. With religious fasting periods like Lent that happen each year, knowing how to make or where to go for a vegetarian meal is of good use.
