The Asian grocery stores also carry vegetarian abalone, lobster, prawns and fish cakes.

If I may ask, ...Mandy, thanks for doing the survey. If I may ask, why did you start to be a vegetarian. I have to honestly say that I love eating meat, and am always intrigued why people become vegetarians. Is it for health reasons, religous reasons, moral reasons? I ask this because a lot of vegetarians then go and eat food thats made to look and taste like meat, in which case, I just say why not eat meat.<BR/><BR/>We're all novices at this food reviewing game. I just write what I think. Even reviewers who are professional, who's to say that their taste is correct while ours isn't. Taste is such a subjective thing that is not easily measured.<BR/><BR/>You should definitely come to Melbourne and try out the food. There's so much variety from all cultures, and most of the food is quite authentic in style too. Hopefully you will keep enjoying our blog.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-72297886708898297162007-03-19T22:02:00.000+11:002007-03-19T22:02:00.000+11:00Name: MandyLocation: Cape Town, South AfricaAge: l...<B>Name:</B> Mandy<BR/><B>Location:</B> Cape Town, South Africa<BR/><B>Age:</B> late 20s<BR/><B>Sex:</B> Female<BR/><B>How are you involved with food:</B> Just like to eat. :) I became a vegetarian 8 years ago so my menu options have become very limited (partly because restaurants have no imagination), but I remain interested in food. I also write the occasional restaurant review (with a vegetarian leaning, of course) for my own web site - <A HREF="http://www.brainwavez.org/" REL="nofollow">brainwavez.org</A>, although I'm such a novice at it that it's kinda funny.<BR/><B>What types of food you like and why:</B> Asian and Mediterranean/Italian dishes.

I read food blogs for about 3 months before I started to comment on them. <BR/><BR/>I would love to go to the gathering, but unfortunately I already promised a friend I would attend her Amway party this Thursday. <BR/><BR/>That's right, I forgot I just posted that post with the t-shirt. I thought you did the survey before I posted that. Lots of people have suggested I sell the t-shirts, but I don't think they're good enough or I would make a profit. The t-shirts alone cost $12, plus all the paint and time to print. Unless there were specific requests for a t-shirt, I don't think I will be making any more.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835761.post-40178513835157625552007-03-06T20:59:00.000+11:002007-03-06T20:59:00.000+11:00Hi again - I'm sure you have quite a few readers/l...Hi again - I'm sure you have quite a few readers/lurkers out there. Us bloggers can be a shy lot sometimes ;-)<BR/><BR/>Yes, perhaps we should organise a blogging gathering at some stage? You may be interested to know that some Melbourne bloggers are <A HREF="http://www.tomatom.com/2007/03/food-bloggers-alternative-food-festival-meet-and-ideas/" REL="nofollow">getting together</A> on Thu 8 Mar 07 to discuss all things food blogging. I can't make it (I work full time), but if you're free it would be good to meet some like-minded individuals.<BR/><BR/>There is a picture of you in your Yoda T-shirt in your post about the <A HREF="http://ieatthereforeiam.blogspot.com/2007/03/sydney-road-festival.html" REL="nofollow">Sydney Road festival</A> (which I unfortunately didn't make it to).
