Posts: 62
so I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope I can find help here anyway, I'm looking for a stuff to put on a shopping list for a vegetarian. I want to create a safe list of items to buy each week and use them in different ways making different things throughout the week instead of buying exact stuff for each meal. like the list can have carrots, quinoa, beans, ect. and each day I'll mix and match the different items for each meal, and I already went shopping for the week so I wouldn't start eating this stuff until I went shopping Saturday again so i have time to look up recipes and stuff, and I do eat eggs but not seafood or any other meat btw.

You can be vegetarian and eat eggs... I do. Just not any meat. Not red OR white. I guess I am technically Lacto-ovo Vegetarian. But it does really annoy me when people refer to themselves as Vego and add oh but I do eat some fish and chicken. WTF. No you're not. lol.0

My list is usually:
Almond milk, vanilla flavor
Brown rice
30-40 bucks worth of vegetables and fruits, depending on what's on sale...always salad and tomatoes

I make a lot of my own salad dressings with mustard, olive oil, etc
No dairy at all for me, but I'm vegan and eat 70% plant based diet.. check farmers markets if they're available to you.0 -

Just choose wholefoods with one or two ingredients, then it's pretty obvious what is meat/ fish and what is not. It's when you choose processed products you have to worry about what is safe.
Any fresh or dried fruit, any fresh or frozen vegetable, canned tomatoes, any dried or canned beans or lentils, brown basmati rice, pot barley, jumbo or steel cut oats, wholemeal pasta different shapes, any nuts or seeds, no added anything peanut butter, eggs, milk, plain yoghurt, non rennet cheese, Quorn or soya 'meat', block creamed coconut, dried spice blend, dried mixed herbs, garlic, vegetable stock powder, marine algae omega-3 supplement, reduced salt yeast extract.0 -

eat chicken = omnivore0 -
You are thinking of a vegan. I'd say most vegetarians are lacto-ovo (eat eggs) and some are pesca (eat fish), but none each poultry or red meat.

These lists look good, I would suggest you add pasta. I like to keep different kinds of pasta on hand for quick veggie meals.0

Correct. Vegans also don't eat honey or wear leather or silk. Most vegetarians don't wear leather (there are some really great vegan leather options see moo shoes in NYC so don't assume your veg friend is wearing leather).

But people don't always fit nicely into categories. Some exceptions might be that some vegetarians and vegans won't turn down leather/silk that is "in the world" because it is wasteful and disrespectful towards the animal/insect whose life/labor was taken. So both won't generally buy it but some might feel it is responsible to use it if it is already here. Vegetarians and vegans generally think more deeply about origins of good, environmental impact, and/or labor needed to create consumer goods so something like shipping might be a big consideration (I.e. use of fossil fuel). So ultimately we are by and large quite a multilayered group and many things might play a part in what we choose consume/buy.

You are not a vegetarian if you eat chicken, fish and the occasional steak. Vegetarians do not eat meat of any kind anytime. Some vegetarians won't eat eggs. Vegans will not consume, wear or use anything that contains animal products. This includes things like Jello and various beauty products and vitamins.0 -
Surprised no one has listed tempeh.. Not a vegetarian, but I try to have at least a vegan or vegetarian day once per week... Excellent protein source, it hides well in recipes and also can stand up as a burger...0
-
Yes and most vegetarians won't use products with animal ingredients or ones that have been tested either. BTW if anyone is looking for a rennet free easily obtained cheese Cabot (from VT) does not have animal rennet in it.

i actually don't consider jello to be vegetarian at all. some people say vegans won't eat jello but point blank, jello is not vegetarian. when i was just vegetarian i understood this and did not consume anything with gelatin in it.0

There are different kinds of vegetarians. I am lacto-ovo, meaning I eat animal products, but not meat. So yes, I eat eggs and cheese etc. I just don't eat meat. And I do eat fish. Pescatarian is not a real term but I like it. Lacto-ovo is the proper term.
Also there are lots of reasons one is a vegetarian. I personally have no issue with meat eaters - I just don't like meat. I don't like the texture in my mouth. Been a veggie for 20 years now. I cook meat for my family and can appreciate something that smells good even if it has meat in it. Having said this, I can't stand lamb nor bacon smells.
As for the OP, here is my list:
Eggs, veggie burgers, low fat cheese, lots of veggies, quinoa, chick peas, beans, lentils (LOVE lentils), organic low-sodium vegetarian soups (I like Amys brand), tuna, sardines (LOVE LOVE sardines), lots of fruit. I only drink water. I don't drink milk really.
Hope this helps!0 -
That would make you a pescatarian not a vegetarian.There are different kinds of vegetarians. I am lacto-ovo, meaning I eat animal products, but not meat. So yes, I eat eggs and cheese and drink milk. I just don't eat meat. And I do eat fish.

ETA: nowornever1 is correct. An ovo lacto vegetarian is one who might eat eggs and/or dairy. Vegetarians do not eat anything that has a face or poops so if you eat fish the correct term is pescatarian. I do not call myself vegan even though I eat mostly vegan. i cannot be a vegan who occasionally eats dairy because that would make me a vegetarian. Just as I cannot be a vegetarian who occasionally eats meat because that would make me an omni. Similarly people who eat red meat but mostly only eat fish are not pescatarian they are omnis. My guess is that people using these terms so loosely is exactly why so many are confused. 0 -
Yes though the correct term is lacto-ovo vegetarian :-)0

Pescatarian is a real term. Lacto-ovo describes a vegetarian like myself... eats eggs and dairy but no meat and no fish (defination states no animal flesh of any kind).There are different kinds of vegetarians. I am lacto-ovo, meaning I eat animal products, but not meat. So yes, I eat eggs and cheese etc. I just don't eat meat. And I do eat fish. Pescatarian is not a real term but I like it.
