back from Bansko part two

By the way if you are vegetarian or vegan don't bother with Bulgaria - even with a Lent like tradition of not eating meat products in the four weeks before Christmas they can't sort out a vegetarian meal for guests and their response to veganism is to chuck bags of nuts at you and then expect you to pay for them!!!

I was warned!!!

I don't think it's fair to say if you are veg or vegan don't bother - I've manged as vegetarian twice without a problem.

There's pizza, chips, omelettes, potatoes, pasta, soups - loads of stuff.

Don't stress about being vegetarian in Bulgaria

If you are vegan you can always go self catering and take care of your own food. Can vegans still

thanks for that Judith, i'm off on the 8th of Jan and am a veggie, I thought i was about to starve to death !!

re: back from Bansko part two

Yeah - but just be careful that there isn't meat "undeclared" in various dishes. I wound up eating some chicken with my rice once because they didn't think it mattered that it had been cooked together - just picked the chicken off and gave me the rice when I had thought I was getting plain rice.

Obviously it is easier for lacto-ovarian vegetarians but there were two at my hotel who were pretty pissed off by the end of the week.

oh dear ......... think i will stick to chips !!!

Lacto overian?

re: back from Bansko part two

means eat milk (lacto - from the lactating glands of mammals) and eggs (ova - from the ovaries of birds). Yum.
