Vegan and Vegetarian Phrases in Languages

While I along with my husband were in California a
couple of months ago, we went to Thirupati Bhimas - a
vegetarian restaurant in Artesia, Los Angeles.

You can find many vegan options in Indian
restaurants.I came across a rice dish, Bagala bath on
the menu. I assumed it was made with eggplants, known
as Baingan in one of the Indian languages, Hindi.

I waited for my aromatic dish. As the waitress brought
my dish, I realized that something was terribly wrong.
The mound of rice was white as snow. I realized that it
was a spicy yogurt rice. I felt horrible.

The waitress was wonderful.When I told the waitress
about my confusion with words, she calmly listened .I now ordered rice pulao.The rice pulao came with a small bowl of yogurt mixed with chopped onions.

Yes, being a vegan is pretty challenging and daunting.
It takes a lot of patience to order vegan food in
eateries.

International Vegetarian Union (IVU) is a wonderful webpage with loads of useful phrases for vegans in
languages from across the world.

I just discovered there is a vegan Indian restaurant in my town and I'm so excited to try it!

Great, great post! When I was in India, they were so wonderful about making me dishes with oil instead of ghee. I find it much harder to get vegan Indian food here in the US!

In Buenos Aires, you can't just say "I'm vegetarian/vegan." You can't just say "Sin carne" b/c in BA, that essentially just means "without beef."

Even in one's native tongue, there's so much room for error, right? And no matter how hard you try, there are always little mistakes.

Jenny, Wow! that's wonderful. Could you please post the website of the vegan indian restaurant . I have come across many vegetarian indian restaurants, but not a vegan indian restaurant.

Mihl, I also sometimes feel bad to ask so many questions in the restauarants. People feel it is weird, when we say "no" to butter and milk.

Urban Vegan, In India, ghee and milk are not only healthy items, but they are also sacred. I guess it will take a couple of centuries for the concept of veganisim to become popular in India. Thanks to Peta, the concept of veganisim is slowly gaining momentum in India.
