@confusedalterego 4 года назад

My mom is vegetarian and she came to visit me when I was studying abroad last year and I felt so bad while trying to find places to eat... you would think that a country that had a whole “I will not eat meat” phase thanks to Buddhism there would be a few more options... but we managed for the two weeks she visited. It would have been nice to have one of these conbini at the time though! I would have loved for her to try more Japanese-style foods

@ffionwilding1962 4 года назад

I totally get how your Mum feels, I'm a Vegetarian and the past two times i've visited Japan I felt the same! you'd think there would've been more options for Vegetarians, at least ones that weren't just snacks or non Japanese cuisine, given as you said the Buddhist cultural history. I suppose at least it's improving :)

@_Seileach 4 года назад

"I will not eat meat" was not a traditional Buddhism thing. It's to not eat meats that were killed and butchered specifically for them. When they were out asking for alms, they eat whatever people give them, it's not a choice. The veganism of the religion wasn't added until it was spread to China.

@confusedalterego 4 года назад

@@_Seileach you're right, it was not a traditional Buddhism thing and it wasn't 100% like that, I was just simplifying something I learned in a class. Didn't even consider the veganism aspect at all however, so thank you for the additional information and clarification :)

@Start.a.curvolution 4 года назад

I don't know where in Europe you are located but here in Northern Germany and at my family in UK it's very easy to get vegan stuff. In Germany even the smallest village with a supermarket has some vegan corner 😉 and there is at least one vegan restaurant in every city. Only in at my parents last trip in Bavaria it is hard to find someone stuff for my mother, but my mother is totally into fake meat/pork stuff for cooking, my husband and I cook without fake meat or pork, we use vegan milk and cream sometimes, but that's all

@hiyocrycry 4 года назад

Bettina Viola Barth so cool! I live in France, there is like those random soy steaks and vegan milk in the supermarket but if you want to have more special vegan food you have to travel to Paris (I’m in the suburbs) Still good tho cause few years ago there wasn’t any in supermarket :D

@Start.a.curvolution 4 года назад

I also learned the hard way that veggie ramen does not mean vegetarian ramen 😅

But they didn't have vegan sausages, yet there ! Or vegan margerine !

2:51 it’s also good to make bread with, I know your vegan so you probably don’t use it for this but as a vegetarian, like you said, it’s really good for B12. A lot of European countries actually sell bread already made from nutritional yeast for the B12 advantage.

Wow, the store looks sooo cool and every love that they have an area to eat. It was so strange to hear that there are no spicy things in Japan cause I have an uncle who is vegetarian since the 80s and I always think of his vegan food when I was a child which was soo damn spicy 😅 he is kind of an old school vegan long time before there came a lot of vegan products in German supermarkets. So he has to make all instead of tofu by himself
