So i have to confess two non-vegan meals. Actually, I got pretty sloppy while on vacation and ended up eating non-vegan chips for two days straight (they were really good and rhyme with tostitos lime flavor). And we went out to a restaurant where there were basically no vegan options so I ordered pasta puttanesca and picked out the anchovies. And then there was the non-vegan baguette that was good. And last night I had Asian-inspired dumplings but stupidly didn't think of looking at the ingredients list on the egg-roll wrappers until we were out of filling to learn that there was egg in the wrappers. The whole constant vigilance thing with a vegan diet is kind of hard to maintain, especially while on vacation.
But now I'm back home and I'm promising to go back to whole vegan, vigilant vegan, and empowered to order off-menu items vegan. The thing was, none of the non-vegan things even came close to scratching any sort of regular-food craving itch. If I wanted cheese, milk on my tortilla chips wouldn't really do it. If I wanted eggs, won ton wrappers are not the first place I'd look. And as for anchovies? I might as well just have carried around a salt lick.
