Well, these are all vegan:

Grains or cereals (wheat, rye, triticale, oats, rice, barley, millet, quinoa, maize/corn, sorghum, ragi, teff, wild rice, etc.) and their by-products (flour, wheatgerm, bran, seitan, couscous, semolina, bulgur, polenta, malt, popcorn, cornstarch, corn oil, oat milk, rice milk, etc.).
Seeds (buckwheat, sunflower seeds, almonds, mustard seeds, pepitas/pumpkin seeds, amaranth, acorns, sesame seeds, caraway seeds, aniseed, flax seed/linseed, etc.) and their by-products (tahini, buckwheat flour, kasha, canola oil, sesame oil, mustard oil, almond milk, hemp milk, etc.)
Nuts (cashews, Brazil nuts, macadamias, pecans, beech nuts, pine nuts, walnuts, pistachios, chestnuts, Tahitian chestnuts, hazelnuts/filberts, etc.) and their by-products (nut butters, nut oils, nut flours, etc.).
Algae or seaweeds (dulse, kelp, nori, wakame, spirulina, kombu, hijiki, arame, sea lettuce, Irish moss, etc.) and their by-products (agar-agar, etc.).
Fruits and berries - fresh or dried (too numerous to mention, but some of the best in terms of nutrition are bananas, kiwifruit, apples, apricots, plums/prunes, dates, grapes, blackcurrants, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, guavas, prickly pears, pineapples, oranges, olives, cranberries, etc.).
Fungi (mushrooms, truffles, morels, enoki, etc.).
Root vegetables, bulbs and tubers (potatoes, taro, sweet potatoes/kumaras, yams, malanga, crosne, carrots, parsnips, cassava, onions, garlic, leeks, shallots, scallions, water chestnuts, jicamas, Jerusalem artichokes, lotus roots, radishes, daikon, salsify, scorzonera, beetroot, swedes/rutabagas, turnips, celeriac, ginger, etc.).
Flowering vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, artichoke, etc.).
Leafy vegetables and stalk vegetables (cabbage, kale, lettuce, cardoon, fennel, bamboo shoots, rhubarb, celery, chard/beet greens, kohlrabi, asparagus, spinach, sorrel, cress, purslane, dandelion, mustard greens, rocket, vine leaves, celtuce, chicory, endive, lamb's-lettuce, collard, Brussels sprouts, gai-lohn, pak-choi, pe-tsai, parsley, etc.).
Fruit treated as vegetables (avocados, tomatoes, bell peppers/capsicums, eggplant/aubergine, okra, tomatillo, pumpkins/squashes, choko/chayote, zucchini/courgette, marrows, gourds, cucumbers, bitter melon, etc.)
Herbs, spices and condiments (too numerous to mention).
There are other things which may or may not be vegan, depending on the processing. The more processing something goes through, the more likely it is to have one or more non-vegan ingredients.
EDIT: I started writing my list above before you got more specific with your question, sorry.
In light of that, I want to add this: prepare and cook your own food (from the list above) as much as you possibly can. At least then, you will know for certain that it's truly vegan.
If you have to buy processed food from the supermarket, always check the labels. Learn what the additive codes stand for.
Here is a good site that someone gave a few days ago:

If you look for a small print word on the front of a package that says "pareve" or "parve" that means it does not contain meat or dairy ingredients. Makes it easy when you shop for bread or other items. Also if you see a U inside of a circle that means the same thing, but not if it has the U inside a circle with a D besides it. D would mean it has dairy in it or made in a factory that uses lots of dairy...if you see the D than just read the ingredients. These a symbols used to indicate a food product is kosher, but they work well for vegans too. Of course, it can be vegan and not kosher and so then it wouldnt have these symbols but if you see these symbols you can skip reading the ingredients!
Fruits and vegetables are obviously vegan.

There are way too many to list. But basically you can eat:
Fruits
Veggies
Nuts
Seeds
Legumes
Beans
Breads (read the label though some contain eggs and milk)
Soups (read the label. if the flavors are artificial its OK if it says "natural flavor" then its not)
Soy milk, almond milk, rice milk
Tofu (firm is good for stir fry & soft is good for baking & smoothies)
You can't eat:
Meat & fish (obviously)
Eggs
Milk or any dairy products
Honey
Milk Chocolate (especially from the Mars company coz they conduct animal testing too)
Gelatine
Any other animal byproducts
Avoid using animal products such as silk, leather, wool. and things tested on animals such as house hold cleaners, cosmetics and shampoos etc.
Just ignore the negative comments. Good on you for making the choice to become vegan. Its the best decision you can ever make. The animals, the environmnt and your body will thank you. Lots of luck hope you succeed. =0)
Vegan foods are foods that contain no animal products, and the options are endless and amazing! The main vegan foods are water, fruits, vegetables, nuts (almonds cashews, hazelnuts, walnuts, etc), beans (black, pinto, baked, kidney, etc), seeds (flax, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, hemp, etc), soy products (tofu, TVP, tempeh, fortified soy milk, miso, etc.) pulses, whole grains, quinoa, seiten, nutritional yeast, cereals, chickpea, seaweed, lentils, & vegetable, hemp, and flaxseed oils. Dairy & meat substitutes are optional but sometimes good to include. Some sites to check out:

What we vegans do not eat are any foods that contains animals or is a by product of animals. Such as all meat, dairy (and it's byproducts such as whey & butter), seafood, eggs, honey...plus:

Congrats on wanting to become a vegan, hopefully the sites above will help you. You are definitely not stupid for asking these questions believe me! Remember to look at the site above for vegan nutrition, as well veganism is more than a diet it is a lifestyle, it excludes the use of animals and animal products for any purpose, such as fur, silk, pearls, etc. And does not participate in animal cruelty acts such as the circus (with animals in it), rodeo, dogfighting, zoo, etc. And also stays away from the use of products that promote/use animals in the testing of their products.
For a vegan diet without the lifestyle, it is called strict vegetarianism.
Congrats on making the decision to become vegan!
Here's a list of popular non-dairy products and vegan faux meats:

This site also has lists of vegan foods:

Something I recently learned is that naan bread (in Indian restaurants) is made with eggs. Also, some sliced breads and soy cheeses contain dairy. But in general, I wouldn't worry too much about avoiding every single non-vegan ingredient. Eating a vegan diet isn't about a quest for personal purity, which is an unachievable goal. It's about doing what we can to help reduce animal suffering. More on this:

Good luck!
You can eat most things you did before just using substitutes. You can still bake anything, cookies, breads, muffins, brownies, cakes, etc. Use oil, margarine, apple sauce, or tofu in place of butter and eggs. You can buy tofu to use in meat dishes such as lasagna, pasta, or meat with potatoes, veggies. You can make veggie burgers at home, and use portabello mushrooms to sub for burgers. The options are endless, you diet should not change too much being vegan. You just need to substitute some ingredients.
It's easier to list the foods not to eat than the foods to eat.
Not a very well thought out question.
Apparently you don't know the answers. There are thousands of websites you could be browsing instead of asking us to spoonfeed you information.
Don`t do it your an omnivour and should eat meat, or you will need to take vitamins as well.
