Vegan on a Trip away.

My Vis Arts and Design class went on a trip away to Hamilton for four nights to attend an Arts festival. I was pretty worried I would struggle to eat out with my group of friends due to my vegan lifestyle. I would’ve been pretty bummed if I didn’t get to go out and enjoy a good meal with them. In NZ we don’t have many vegetarian or vegan places that cater towards these diets, so typically I have to go somewhere and ask the waitress if an entire meal can be changed just so I can eat it. But lo and behold I had some of the best food when I was in Hamilton!

The first night we went to a fancy looking restaurant called The Flying Burrito Brothers. I’d never tried Mexican before, but the Waitress was so nice and showed me all the things on the menu that could be made vegan for me. I ended up ordering the fajita’s and because I didn’t know what to expect being the mexican food virgin, I was so surprised. Actually, the whole table gasped when my huge platter of deliciousness came out. I pretty much wolfed down the whole thing in no time. Even though all my friends finished their chicken quesadilla’s before me. heh heh, guilty of being a slow eater.
