Question

What culture has the best vegetarian food?

Answer 1

In my opinion, it's a definite toss-up between Indian, Ethiopian and Middle Eastern. I absolutely love Indian because of the way they spice everything and there's such a wide variety of flavors. I just got back from a trip to California and there I went to a place called Rahel. . .it's an Ethiopian vegan place on Fairfax. . .and we didn't get to eat at all the restaurants I listed because we kept going back there because it was so exquisitely delicious. There's one in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as well and a couple in Chicago. Then my boyfriend is Middle Eastern, so he gets to show me what is authentic and everything and their food is amazing as well. :)

There's also this restaurant in San Francisco called herbivore that has a wide and varying selection of vegan foods and it is amazing. Because of them, we couldn't eat at all the restaurants we listed in that area, either. :)

Oh, and I almost forgot. . .if anyone is ever in Chicago, try Soul Vegetarian East on 75th Street. They are the "African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem" and they cook up some mad vegan "soul" food and literally everyone who has gone there has given it amazing reviews.

Answer 2

Cuturally Indian 100 Jain/Buddhist's food and a few Hindu communities(about 12 to 20% people) food are lacto-Vegetarian-there will be absolutely no meat(mutton, beef, chicken, turkey,fish,shrimps,other sea animals,eggs) or any animal product except Milk and Milk products.A lot of of varieties,cooked and very tasty food.Now a days mild to moderate spicy foods they sell on demand.

Answer 3

I don't know if that's a question that can be answered definitively. I've eaten vegetarian foods of many cultures and they all are quite good in their own way.

If you ask what is the healthiest diet, the Okinawan's are rated by the IVU as having the healthiest vegetarian diet. They are pesco-vegetarians.

Answer 4

Indian

Answer 5

It's like apples or oranges. The best food is the kind you like the best and everyone has there own preference. Personally I prefer Indian food but I also like Mediterranean.

Answer 6

I would say Indian. Someone suggested Thai - but you need to be so careful, because they use things like anchovie paste and shrimp paste.

I used to live near a vegan Indian restaurant, they used to have a huge line every Friday night, the food was incredible.

Answer 7

Indian and Middle Eastern - both excellent

Answer 8

definitly indian culture because traditional indians dont eat meat. nowadays they do, but they basically just add meat in, meaning that you can make any recipe and just dont add meat. plus, the flavors are great and you dont have a bland meal.

Answer 9

I think Asian. Asian dishes contain a variety of vegetables and are served with rice or noodles.

Answer 10

Indian because they know how to use their spices very well.
