i don't know exactly what you mean by basic everyday foods, but the answer is most likely yes. i too am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, and my diet is restricted mostly because i am so picky, not because i am a vegetarian. do some internet research, look up recipes and meal ideas. start with peta.com or goveg.org, they are particularly helpful. =)
a LITTLE unsure about what your question is, but as long as the dish does not have meat, gelatin, lard, rennet, or chicken/pork/beef broth then yes, you can eat it..
Make sure there is nothing in the product that is derived from meat.
Look out for fried foods, and refried beans - they frequently have lard (pig fat) in them. Read labels and don't be afraid to ask a waiter a question about the food. If they don't know the answer, get the manager to your table. I used to work in a southwestern eats restaurant and the "vegetarian burritos" were made with refried beans with lard in them.
yes no flesh,....you can eat faux meat, tofu.
sure, most things you usually eat will be easy enough to make in a version that just excludes the meat part of the equation. if there is a specific meal you're wondering about, why not ask for suggestions on making it meat-free?
Get in touch with the national veggie organizations, most will send you a free “Go Vegan” pack which will have loads of advice and meal ideas. They will also be able to tell you about your local group too so you can get advice from veggies near you on the best. Defiantly get yourself to one of the large veggie fairs because they are such and eyeopener and fun too!
Good luck
I agree with bronte heights. I find it very annoying when a wait staff person cannot tell me if there is meat in it and don't offer to check. Also, Mexican rice usually has chicken in it. I usually end up getting Spanish rice instead, but no matter what I always check the package. When I go to Mexican place I ask if there is chicken in it. I have found that most Ramen has meat in it too. I think my bf found some Japanese stuff that doesn't though.
If you have done the research and you know what you're doing, you wouldn't be asking complete strangers if you can still eat your "everyday foods." We have no idea what you eat.
