We are off to France for 7 weeks of sun and adventure. The plan is to spend a week in Brittany/ Normandy before travelling down to the Dordogne for some kayaking, then across to the coast to work our way back up. Along the way I’ll be finding out about the areas food, excellent places to eat out, buy salad and vegan specialties, and of course I’ll let you know.
Here are some important words to know in French;
- I am vegan – Je suis Végétalien – though apparently this is often not recognised.
- I am vegetarian; Je suis végétarien
- milk; lait
- egg; oeuf
- cheese; fromage
- butter; beurre
- cream; crème
- honey; miel
- meat; viande
- fish; poissons
- animal; animal
- vegetables; légume, végétal
- fruit; fruit
- soya; soja
- no; non
- only; seulement
- without; sans
Things that people are warning me about;
- salads are rarely vegan, containing meat, cheese or egg,
- soups usually contain meat stocks,
- pastries and breads can contain hidden milk.
Something I’m really looking foreword to; The infamous markets and sun. =)
