Adventures in Veganism: Day 5

June 23, 2008     Posted in Body, Reality

dsc08587-1.jpgWelcome to day five of my week eating entirely vegan.

No joke, this morning I woke up in a panic because I thought I’d eaten a ham and cheese sandwich last night. I’m not sure if this is because the rules of vegan eating are so strict you can break them on accident, or if I was just really craving a ham and cheese sandwich.

Breakfast: Trusty ol’ venti soy latte from Starbucks. The server looked like Christian Bale. Suddenly I’m very happy to be eating (and drinking!) vegan this week.

Lunch: Beer!! I go with a friend to the On the Waterfront Café on the Venice Boardwalk, an outdoor beer garden, and I enjoy a tall glass of brew. Some beers and wines are made with some fish product called isinglass, but I read online that German beers are vegan-friendly, so I order a German beer. This is by far the best vegan meal I’ve had in a while.

Dinner: I end up at Real Food Daily, again. I am now completely addicted to their Supreme Burrito. I highly recommend it. My friend gets a club sandwich. He is a huge meat eater and hates health food, but even he admitted that it wasn’t bad.

Does anyone know of any other vegan restaurants in Los Angeles that I should try? Or some vegan friendly products?

    I eat Temeph. It doesnt have any soy in it so it’s a nice alternative once in a while. You can stir fry it, saute it and its very tasty. Just google Temeph, you’ll get some great recipes. I also love “Amy” brand foods. great soups, and burgers and lots of frozen entrees. I’m not a vegan only a vegetarian but most are vegan. Just look at the label. I hate boca burgers, I think they taste aweful. Amy’s is much better. Good luck!
