I just discovered the most fantastic vegan restaurant here in my hometown - and right dorn the street. It's Vietnamese, run by Buddhist nuns and deliciously delicious.

Being from this magical land where every restaurant offers vegetarian options and there is even a vegan Pirate themed restaurant, I often wonder if it's getting easier to find the delicious options in other parts of the world known for beef and BBQs, ham and fois gras, steak and kidney pie, etc. Mags says many veg options in England now, but when we were in Paris she was pretty much stuck with omelettes (except for the fabulous Vietnamese restaurant in the Montmarte.)

I'm not a vegetarian, I just like food.
