Thanks for sharing this. So similar to my story, I'd always have everything vegan at home, but very flexible when eating outside. At the moment I'm preparing for a silent meditation and we have strict 60 day vegan diet and no onion, garlic, pepper and to be honest I sometimes feel so pissed at the fact that all I can eat at some places is like water! At that point even meat starts looking good hahah (even though I haven't touched it for the past 4 years). So there are ups and downs and also looking not just into being this or that but also is is self sustainable? Can it be done long term, so as for me, at home for long term yes, when I go out alone Yes, if I want to hang out with other people who are not vegans and also eat something the answer is vegetarian (at least here in Panama City). Bon apetit :)
