Does being a FULL vegetarian..?

Question

mean I can't eat cookies, cake or stuff like that?

Since they can't eat dairy products, or eggs?

Answer 1

Yes you can eat cookies and cakes. But you may have to cook them yourself. Search the net for recipes without egg and milk. Or you can use substitutes. Life without cake...unthinkable.

Answer 2

The definition of a vegeterian is not eating meat. Some vegetarians avoid animal by-products as well. It really depends on your own preference if you're willing to eat cakes and cookies. You could still eat them and just not eat eggs and dairy in the raw form. If you choose to keep eating eggs and dairy then I believe the term is lacto-ovo-vegan.

Answer 3

My sister is a vegan and makes the most delicious to-die-for moist cakes, puddings and cookies all the time. I love her fruit flan and almond-meal dark chocolate cake the best. Soy milk works just as well as milk and there are plenty of substitutes for eggs (which are just meant to bind the ingredients) and you do not taste the difference. Anyhow, I prefer cakes which do not have an eggy flavour.

She also gets various cookies from the supermarket which don't have any animal products in them - she just reads the ingredients.

You can eat whatever you want. Decide for yourself.

Answer 4

If you're vegan, there are some places out there that make cookies, cake, and maybe even other sweets that usually have eggs and milk. I heard about it on VeganFreak Podcast (8/8/05), but I can't remember where it was. Look on VeganFreak's site for the Vulgar Vegan's place of employment... he's a vegan baker.

Sorry, rambling.

Still, there *are* vegan sweets. If you can't find any to buy, look it up in a vegetarian and/or vegan cookbook at your local library.

Answer 5

A lot of vegetarians do eat eggs and dairy-you are referring to vegans. There are many vegan products and recipes available now. Most regular cakes and cookies do contain eggs but few contain dairy. Most breads contain neither. You just have to read labels and watch for innocuous sounding ingredients that are animal products, like gelatin.

Answer 6

If you type the words vegan cake into the Yahoo search feature here in Yahoo Answers, you get a number of search hits, the first of which comes from the Vegetarian Resource Group (vrg.org). I know there are ways to make eggless cakes (this can be fun, and the cakes are somewhat denser than conventional cakes so it's something a little different as well). It does mean you have to learn to read labels if you're set on making cakes from mixes, or (gulp) bite the bullet and go to the next level which is buying flour and so forth. :-)

Answer 7

There are vegetarians, and non vegetarians.

I don't know what a FULL vegetarian is.

A vegetarian does not eat meat, fish, poultry nor slaughter by-products, with, or without, the consumption of dairy.

So, if the cookies, cake or "stuff" has gelatine or other animal products then vegetarians cannot eat them.

A Vegan with exclude all animal derived products from thier diet and lifechoices.

Answer 8

Vegetarians can eat dairy products and eggs. Only vegans can't.

Answer 9

There are lots of recipes for egg-free cakes and cookies. I found this out growing up with an egg allergy. And soy milk is as good as milk in everything but pudding (it won't set). Depending on where you live, you might be able to find vegan options at bakeries. I know there are plenty here, including vegan ice cream cake.

Answer 10

No it does not. If u r a vegan (which is not having to do with animals, at all. Meaning no dairy products) but if u r a vegetarian u can not have any meat but u can have dairy products
