What are some words (in French) for nonvegan foods? (ex. lard, honey, veal...)?!
I'm staying with a French host family, and, though they know that I'm a vegan and basically what that is, it's hard enough communicating what I don't eat to people without the language barrier! I know the basics (how to say "I'm vegan," what the big meat categories (beef, fish, chicken, ham) are called) but anything else that might be useful would be much appreciated!. Even if you don't speak French, any specific dishes or ANYTHING would help!

I have exactly what you need!. It's called the "Vegan Passport", and you can buy it and read all about it at the link below!. What it is is a little book the size of a passport that you take with you when you travel!. It has a passage explaining that you are a vegan, and here's what you can and cannot eat, and you give it to your servers or hosts, whoever is preparing food for you!. Then, they have it translated into 56 languages! What a great idea! They even have a page with pictures in case you run into somebody who doesn't speak one of the 56 languages!. It will give you so much more peace of mind knowing that the person who is serving you has it explained in their native tongue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Salut!
Veau is veal
miel is honey
oeuf is egg
saindoux is lard (I had to look that one up!.!.!. "lard" is french for bacon)
My best advice is to offer to cook for them once in awhile!. "Pasta" is pates!. Legumes are veggies, haricots are beans, légumineuses are legumes!.
Bonne chance!Www@FoodAQ@Com
