From the Author:
An ideal phrasebook and guide for traveling vegetarians.
"Speaking Vegetarian" enables traveling vegetarians to make their dietary desires known in virtually any country on the planet. I began researching and writing this book from a desire to communicate my eating preferences and out of frustration with the limitations of standard phrasebooks. ("Is the roast lamb on special today?" is not a helpful question for vegetarians.) Each country listing in the book features a brief general description of the types of food a visiting vegetarian might expect in that country. It then provides a list of words and fill-in-the-blank phrases, together with phonetic pronunciations, in the main language or languages of the country. The list is broad enough to allow vegans, ovo-lacto vegetarians, pesco-vegetarians, and even "vegetarians" who avoid only red meat to order their preferred food. My goal is not to make the user sound like a native speaker, but simply to get the point across. It is my hope that "Speaking Vegetarian" will allow vegetarians to travel more easily, comfortably, and with a measure of social grace and cultural sensitivity. Happy travels.
