Many people never eat animal products of any kind. Following a stricter diet than vegetarians do, these folks eat only products of the vegetable kingdom. It's hard to avoid most American food; eating at home is often the best policy. However, as this eating style becomes more popular and prevalent, vegan festivals are occurring across the country.
To be vegan is to strictly avoid any animal foods. This means that, unlike many 'vegetarians', vegans eat no eggs, butter, fish, seafood, or dairy like yogurt or sour cream. It takes real dedication to adhere to such a restrictive diet, especially since many products contain minute amounts of substances of animal origin in flavorings or colors. It also means careful meal planning to get adequate nutrients like protein or vitamin B-12 that are most easily found in meat and dairy.
People who are 'vegan' may just not like the taste of meat. Often, however, they feel that is wrong to eat animals or consume an unfair proportion of the food of the world. They may feel so strongly that they only want to eat vegetables that they refuse anything with even a trace of animal foods. This is a very strict dietary plan, but it does not have to mean that allowed foods won't be good.
Imagine going to a festival, complete with live entertainment and many vendors offering gourmet foods, where there is nothing - nothing - that you can't eat. No need to worry that temptation will overtake you and cause you to violate your principles. Every single thing will be purely vegetable in origin. Moreover, vendors wanting to show off their wares will bring out the most tasty and memorable things they offer.
You may find foods you have never tried. There will be lots of specialty sauces to spice up the vegetables you use to prepare meals. If you feel like your cooking (unless you eat raw!) has become a boring rut, a festival will broaden your horizons and spark your creativity.
All of us know foods that have no animal products, some of which may be among our favorites. A traditional French baguette is merely flour, water, yeast, and salt. Many different breads start with these basics; the variations are in the flours used and how they are prepared and baked. There are dairy-free baked goods, as well as other delicious dishes, that taste as good as traditional ones.
New York City, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland, and Austin have these popular festivals. Now, many other places are hosting these specialty food fairs, so check to see if your area is getting on board. If not, suggest to the city fathers that now is the time to cater to this way of eating.
Another nice thing about these food fairs is that you don't have to spend a lot of money on eating on site. Vendors give out lots of samples, and it's possible that you can eat for free. However, there will be many good things to carry home, so save the grocery money so you can stock up for all you'll want to buy.
