Just thought I'd share the fact that I love meeting other vegos in my area! It's awesome to know there's more of us out there than I realised. I met a cool chick the other day at Bunnings of all places that was a vegetarian! It made my day I let her in on an awesome vegan/celiac-friendly bread mix too.
YES! the other day at work a guy came in wearing an Unleashed band thingy. and i asked him if he was on unleashed and he didnt know what i was talking about, cause he got it from a friend. then he asked if i was vegan and i said yes and he was all like me too! it was so cool! too exciting to use punctuation!
oooh! Funny you say that, I met a nice Veg*n lady yesterday at Coles! I was buying some of the Sanitarium Mince and she picked up a packet of Tempeh.
I've eaten it once before, but have never cooked it, so I asked her how she cooks it and what dishes she uses it in! She was lovely! Even told me to try the Fry's Cottage Pie! (I LOVE the Fry's schnitzels!)
I met a lady some years back at the Coles checkout (in line in front of me) who had a vego daughter. She saw my Sani tins and asked how I managed. I gave her some recipe tips for her daughter and hoped she'd continue encouraging her daughter's vegetarianism.
When I'm going to pick up some tofu or sanitarium fake mince in a tin stuff I kind of look around surreptitiously in the hopes that I will see someone else heading for them (I'm a freak?) and maybe we can be friends and I'll finally have a veg friend, buuuut no luck yet... I haven't even seen anyone near the soy milk/yoghurt or the veg food areas but maybe just bad luck so far? Haha.
I am only new to the area though and hoping that I'll meet some like-minded people once I go to Griffith .
I haven't really met people in places like supermarkets or shoppin centres, but when I started highschool the first person I talked to turned out to be vegetarian., then when i started my current school one of the girls who showedme around has an interest in it, she even introduced me to one of her (then) bestfriends who was also a vegetarian.
I let her in on an awesome vegan/celiac-friendly bread mix too.
