Gym hater

Dunno why but I have this picture in my head where I see you teach your classmates some of the most complex tongue-twisters in Dutch while cheering them up a little bit, "toe nou, probeer het samen opnieuw, gewoon nadoen, want zo lukt het nooit, en karakter is met twee k's... nee, rrrr, ik lust geen kaas, ik ben veganist, jij domoor!"

 

I shall put an end to my ramblings now.

Belgian humor

But then there was always the possibility to write some Dutch sentences on a piece of paper... en dan zuchten, 'gatver, dat voelde goed, doe ik nog ne keer !' (and then sigh, goddamn, that felt good, let's do that again !)

It was fun swearing when people didn't understand it I got all the swearing out of my system right before entering the airplane back to NL

Nice to know there are more Dutch-speaking people around, are you from Belgium or The Netherlands? This written, I think it is much better for the community if we stick to English, I mean... that wouldn't seem right for them if they can't interact.

 

As for your questions:

 

Vegetarian = végétarien

Vegan = végétalien // the only slight difference being the L instead of R, but very important nonetheless!

No milk, eggs, meat and fish = pas de lait, d'oeufs, viande et (du) poisson.

 

Put in a sentence, that would more or less look like "Je ne mange pas de viande, oeufs, lait et poisson".

Thanks!

No, I am not from Belgium, I am Dutch. Sorry about writing in Dutch, but I just got back from studying in the US for a semester, so it's good to write some Dutch again

Hehe, you're welcome. What places in France have you already visited to buy food ?

None, I am leaving this friday. Je parle un petit peut de Fraincais, maar nog niet genoeg om alle dierlijke producten te vermijden.

But thanks for the input, it's verry usefull.

How do I say "vegan" in french? Or "no milk, eggs, meat and fish"?

Thanks/dankjewel

I will stay away from those.

If it wasn't abolished I could have been a Constable.

Does anyone know wich ingredients to avoid in France? I know to avoid lait, ouf, and poisson. But how about stuff like whey and gelatin? What are those in french?

I'll be in France for a week or so, so it would be verry helpfull to know those words. Or maybe I'll just stick to freedom fries

Verry cool, especially the second one.

I just arrived in the USAfor college. I went to one of those big American supermarkets and was looking for vitamin supplements. They had a lot of different supplements, but it seemed that none of them where vegan. I checked the label of some, and they all had gelatin in them. So does anyone know a brand of supplements I can get at most stores that is vegan?

So, yea, keep it for special occasions, if you can

Every day is a special occasion

The quality of chips has improved in the past years. Chips used to had a lot of rancy fatty acids in them, which where linked to cancer. Recently they examined the chips again, and there turned out to be no significant amount of those rancid fatty acids in the chips anymore.

Also the biggest part of the fatty acids in chips is unsaturated, and even some poly unsaturated.

They are a great snack, and not as unhealthy as many people think.

You've got a Gamecube, and yet you play Resident Evil 4 on the PS2 .

Good to hear about the girlfriend and the vegetables.

Veganessentials has a store in Milwaukee, which is about 3 hours away from Madison.

That store is on "to visit" list. Maybe I'll pass by when I'm on a road trip.

I train my guns every week.

I meant the chips/crisps, not the french fries. Also I'll be close to Madison WI, so there will probably be some natural food stores there. I'll look for the natural food section if there is one of those massive american supermarkets.

Thanks for the help.

In the fall I'll be attending college in the USA. I've never been in the USA so I need some advice. Which vegan food brands should or shouldn't I buy? There should be one of those large supermarkets near where I'll be staying.

I'll need:

- Chips

- Energy bars

- Bread

- Microwave food

- Chocolate

- Chocolate paste

- Chocolate sprinkels

- Margarine

- Cookies

- Donuts

- Soda's and other beverages

I guess all the stuff like soy milk and peanut butter are always vegan, so I'll probably be able to find that. But if someone could help me out with a list of vegan foods that would be great. Also any food suggestions would be welcome.

I won't be able to make it. But you guys have fun.

I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but if I do I'll bring my own skates.

The guy wearing the shirt is the bass player from New Found Glory. I saw them live a couple of times. Pretty sweet band, except the new album.

That shirt is awesome, and makes people think.

She irritates me. I like that new southpark episode about her.

Respect.

I know for about 80% that I'll be able to make it. I have some exams after the weekend, but if there aren't any on monday there's no need to study on a saturday. I should get the exam roster sometime this month.
