Hello Everybody,

One thing I would like to investigate. I am a vegetarian. I eat meat-replacement products, and as someone of Dutch/Indonesian heritage, I also eat a lot soya products, which we rever as Tahoe- Tempe.

In our culture, we Indo's can greet each other by yelling Tahoe-Tempe to each other.

I was wondering what to eat in Russia when I go there in the future. Are there also meat replacements and soya products in lets say, Novosibirsk?
I believe Vladivostok must have it, because it is so near Japan.

Maby I am too negative and do Russians know more about the vegetarian kitchen than I expect. I had Orthodox-Christian friends from Bulgaria and they were sometimes vegetarian too.

Why don't I eat meat? I am Krishna devotee and meat eating is monsterous theft to bodies from other souls. It took me about 6 years to control the sense gratification conditioning of meat. Without my grandmother I succeeded, because I ate too much outside and then it is very difficult to become vegetarian.

Do svidanya, Mandy
