Hello, and welcome to my blog; the site for veggie students, by a veggie student. In this blog I'll be telling you all about veggie options at restaurants, veggie options in shops, and veggie recipes. All any student needs to know to help them relish in their vegetarianism or veganism. Enjoy!
Marshmallows This may come as a shock to some of you and may not come a shock to others. Marshmallows are sweet, and who puts meat in a sweet treat? Although marshmallows are chewy, which gives people an excuse to put meat in. Most marshmallows aren't vegetarian and vegetarian ones are very rare. Although you can order them online from the following website: http://www.freedommallows.com/ which is Vegetarian Society approved.
Jelly If you haven't already worked out why jelly is called jelly here's why. It's because it used to always have gelatin in which is an animal based product and therefore not vegetarian. Luckily, though, nowadays there are vegetarian jellies such as Hartley's Quickset sachets.
As I have mentioned earlier on in my blog, sadly, some cheeses aren't vegetarian and since pesto is often used as a garnish for pasta it sometimes has cheeses in, such as Grana Padano and parmesan, which aren't vegetarian. Sadly, there aren't many vegetarian pestos, since most companies think it tastes better with non-vegetarian cheese in, although you can make your own following this recipe at http://glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.co.uk/2008/02/winter-pesto.htmlor buy zest vegan basil pesto which are both vegetarian. Updated June 2015: Recently the well know company Sacla have started creating their own vegetarian pesto. This is much easier to find than 'zest vegan pesto' and it is stocked in many supermarkets.
