Hi Wisdom.
I didn't realize you were a vegetarian! Make sure you get plenty of the B vitamins. That's one thing many vegetarians miss in their diets if they are not careful. I was vegetarian for many years, but not a vegan.
You are allowed to eat bread. Many breads do not have eggs in them, and many do not have milk. Just read the label to see what the ingredients are.
It also makes a difference depending on whether you are simply a vegetarian or if you are a strict vegan. One of my friends is a strict vegan, & she eats a much more restricted diet than vegetarians do.
As a vegetarian, I allowed myself to drink milk. Cows must be milked in order to keep them from suffering, so there is nothing wrong with drinking milk. That is my belief; it may differ from other people's — that's OK. I also allowed myself to eat eggs. Chickens lay eggs every day; that is natural for them. As long as the eggs are removed before they become sterilized, they are not being turned into little chicks.
I have a friend (not a vegetarian). Her son became a strict vegan — WHEN HE WAS 3 YEARS OLD!! I am not joking at all. He suddenly refused to eat meat or fish, then cheese or even milk. He must have heard something at school; he had been going to school since he was 2 years old (just a few mornings a week).
Whe his mom asked him why he wouldn't eat meat, etc., he said he didn't know why. I speculated that he might not yet have the vocabulary to express his feelings on the matter.
I suggested that she first check with his doctor to make sure it was OK, since he was so very young; plus he was born with a neurological birth defect, so health had to be a concern. The doctor was amazed, yet he said it was OK. His only concern was the boy not getting milk, for at least 2 more years. He also thought this would be a phase & would pass. I disagreed.
It turned out that I was correct. My friend's son is now 15 years old, and he is still a vegetarian. He does drink milk, though. Back when he was 3, because of health issues, his mom told him how every morning the milk had to come out of the cow, or else it would hurt her. So, we were helping the cows by drinking the milk. He said he would think about it. :-) This came from a 3 year toddler. Well, after he thought about it, he decided to drink the milk.
I was glad to see that my friend respected her son's decision to become a vegetarian, even though he was only 3. Many parents would not have done that. He is somewhere between vegetarian and vegan. He does not eat eggs or cheese, but he does still drink milk.
Anyway, I believe we are morally allowed to eat both eggs & bread. But I respect your decision not to eat eggs, if that's what you believe. However, it is true that not all breads have eggs in them. They MUST include eggs in the list of ingredients because some people have severe allergies to eggs, and must know.
I hope this has been helpful to you.
Peace to you.

Bread has milk in it. If it has no egg in it then it generally will have a little butter/margarine.
A lot of commercial bread has additives from animal origin.
It is possible to make your own bread without milk, eggs or supplements.
we bake 2 loaves a day...it tastes like real food, not just a carrier for a filling !

It all depends...are you vegetarian or vegan? If you are a vegan, commercial breads usually have whey, honey or shortening in them that are not vegan friendly. Look at the labels when shopping and see what the bread has in it. Most breads on the shelves don't have egg in the bread but look out for other bad culprits... LOL ;~)

If your a vegan just make sure there's no milk or eggs in it. check the ingredients label. A lot of bread is animal "product" free.

Breads do not have egg or milk in them unless someone adds it to the dough.
Most artisan breads from independent bakeries are vegan.

Depends on the rules... I'm allowed to eat whatever I want...
If your mom/the warden says no, pro'l better not to or face the consequences.
If you have a wheat/gluten allergy, you would still be "allowed" but I wouldn't reccomend it.
Egg likewise, but best also ask the chicken if she minds. :-)
Bread+Egg... I'll have to think about that...
Good luck.

Very few breads have eggs in them, but if in doubt read the label.

hmmm... good question. I'm not a vegatarian, but that is an interesting topic.
most breads have eggs in them, but I think if you look on line for egg free bread receipes you might get lucky. Maybe you could make your own and substitute, the eggs for applesause or something else.
I hope you figure this one out.

No offense, yet you particularly need to quiet down. purely loosen up and breathe. Riboflavin is diet B2, no longer slaughtered animals. Italian, and potato bread are the two vegetarian. maximum vegetarians burgers and different processed ingredients have enzymes in them besides. you problem approximately issues too a lot. the only real thank you to avert each thing you're itemizing is to alter right into a uncooked foodist.

Most breads don't have egg, some do have milk and/or milk derivatives.
Read the ingredients and you should be ok.
