• Among others....

If you're new to a particular type of food and interested in ordering it veg*n, be sure to ask or research what to substitute for or order it without...; for example:

• Thai food often has fish sauce, shrimp paste, egg, or oyster sauce
• Waldo pizza has soy cheese--which isn't vegan--see their vegan menu--many pizza places have vegan cheeses now, and really good pizza places may not even need vegan cheese to be interesting.
• Vietnamese food frequently uses fish sauce--you can often substitute peanut sauce for their Bûn, occasionally a place will have a vegetable broth, and vermicelli / noodles are often an option
• Mexican food may have lard in their beans/tortillas, frequently has chicken stock in their rice, or occasionally dairy in their guacamole
• Chinese food often uses animal broths as a base for their sauces like their brown sauce, but is otherwise pretty easy
• Indian food frequently has ghee, butter, soft cheeses, or cream in most of their dishes by default, some places will make dishes without
• Ethiopian, is usually pretty easy with half a dozen plus dishes often being veg right off, but some places may use Ghee or butter as a base of many dishes.
