Yet another Veggie from SJ checking in. My wife and two children are also veggie. I'm pretty confident we have the largest collection of veg*n's in one household in all of Saint John :naughty:

Actually it's a bit complicated: Myself and my daughter are veggie (she drinks cow milk, but I don't however I would have cheese everynow and then). My wife is strict vegan, and my little boy happens to have digestion problems with milk, so he's vegan as well.

Did you follow all of that?

Later,

Welcome Justin & family - this group in not very active at present, but will probably pick up a little in September.

Welcome Justin!

We are also a veggie family of four.... In Saint John!

Here I thought we were all alone. Good to know there are like minded people so close to home.

Hi all.

I am a displaced NB'er (Saint John) presently living in Calgary, AB. I left there 4 years ago but will moving back to SJ in 2 weeks. Someone told me there is an Asian grocery in SJ now, is there anything veg*n friendly stuff there? Here in Calgary all Asian stores have TONS of veg stuff...just wondering what I'm walking back into. (there are several veg restaurants and stores here in "Cowtown" and to be honest, I'm wondering how I'm gonna survive in Saint John again.)

Thanks for replying. I've talked the owners of a Chinese veg restaurant here in Calgary to Purolating me dry ingredients and bottles of sauce from their restaurant. The restaurant is www.buddhasveggie.com I have basically lived there since I moved here. So maybe things will be ok after all.
:guitar:

sounds cool, so anyone have any cool vegan things to do in this town?

I read in 'Here' a while back that there is a veg*n restaurant for SJ in the works. It'll be called Sarsparilla, should it ever actually come into being. Until then, I guess it's to Cafe Calactus, but Asian Palace in Market Square has good veggie stuff if you like Indian food.

And no, bad, there's not a heck of a lot... though I went to high school with the girl who owns www.hungryvegan.com and I happen to know she organizes picnics and holiday dinners for area veggies and open-minded omnis (mostly SOs I would imagine!). She's redesigning it at this point, I believe, but staying tuned is always a good idea.

ETA: Krista, I'm going back to Sackville on monday! You're terribly jealous, I know ;)

cool, wonder when that'll be done???

I've heard good things about Asian Palace from friends. Is that Thai restaurant (suwanna) still in the west side? They'll make alot of their dishes veg if you ask (gotta watch out for fish sauce though)

Does Dave Torrance (aka Paddington Bear) still teach (history)? If so, tell him Krista says hi :D

Yep, he does! I've never had him though... what class(es) did you have him for?

75% of my major :D

That's quite a bit.. history major, eh? I've taken a class with his assistant Elaine Naylor, who was very good. Boring class, but good professor. Being in Fine Arts has afforded me little contact with the university outside. We have our own little world in those studios. They made Virgil Hammock retire though... pissed me off. He always gave me A's.

I'm back in Sackville now, so if I run into the guy, I'll be sure to pass on your greetings :)

He has an assistant now? :lol:

Virgil retired?!?!?!?!?! I figured he would die in place :) Is Dave Beatty still there? He was on death's door years ago :)

I'm sure Virgil would've preferred it that way! He still hangs around and complains about it... his retirement wasn't exactly willing.

And Dave Beatty is gone, though only as of two years ago. Not sure what happened to him.

Any vegan suggestions for someone who seems allergic (violently!!) to most vegetarian protein sources? I can't eat any peanuts, almonds, cashews, ...all nuts basically; same for chick peas, lentils, and all soy products. I've been told by the doctor's it's basically the entire "leguminous" (sp??) family.

I just discovered that the super store east sellls tofutti better than cream cheese, plain and herbed something or other.
Buy it up...or they might stop selling it, and because it's damn good! :bobo:
