AllisonW Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Ah! So i see that you have the same family dynamic. Hubby is veggie and i am not. But i dont eat a lot of meat and eat his veggie meals most days. I will send them an email and check whether they supply in Queensland. Fry's are great and the whole family will eat them. Kids dont even realise that they are not eating meat. Their schnitizels are great - you can now cook them in the toaster for a couple of minutes - so no added fat and they are crispy and so easy.We can return to our SA struggle roots and lobby. I was wondering what the veggie scene was like. There are some great vegan resturants here in JHB and Hubby is on the mailing list for some of them. They do great buffets and are really good food - Called Earth2 and also Roots.ThanksAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that there will be some fellow hippies around? In your experience are there many vegetarians in Oz? Hope they dont get out the pitchforks (or their steak knifes!!LOL) for you!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
