Name some foods vegitarians cant eat (other than meat)?

Question

just too make sure, please name some food that somebody who doesnt eat meat, fish, or poultry couldnt have. i know you cant have jelly, but please name some

ok, not jelly, gelatin my bad

Answer 1

jelly
sweets, marshmallows (especially chewy ones)
some yogurts.
some cheeses have calf rennet in them.
some things that contain certain cheeses (again they use calf rennet in these cheeses)

with cheese check for "suitable for vegetarians"
and with everything else just give a quick glance at the ingredients and check for something called gelatine (made from cow bone)

Answer 2

Um, are you referring to jelly like gelatin, or jam? Because, you can have the jelly like the jam. Gelatin is something you have to look out for in a LOT of foods you might not expect to find it in, such as most toaster pastries (pop tarts and such), many cupcakes, some candies, regular marshmallows, and many, many others. It's quite annoying; you have to read the ingredient list on EVERYTHING, unless you can be sure otherwise that it's safe.

By the way "meat, fish, or poultry" is a repetetive statement: fish and poultry ARE meat.

Answer 3

I'm strictly Kosher, so I'm in a similar boat. A LOT of candy has gelatin in it (Skittles, Starburst, etc.) and I've never been able to have that because of that. Even some cereals are questionable (obviously Lucky Charms, but also frosted shredded wheat and others). As a precaution, look on the ingredients for gelatin -- don't eat what contains it. If you eat fish, you can have kosher marshmallows which are made with a special ingredient that is similar to gelatin but is not derived from beef. As for other Yahoo answers that say that Skittles/Starburst is made with Kosher gelatin, that's not true (because if it was, the entire product would bear a kosher symbol).

Answer 4

Jelly? I think you are talking about someone who is a vegan or a certain type of Vegetarian. If you are vegan, you don't eat any animal product which means no eggs, milk, anything dairy and anything that has anything to do with an animal. If you are just a vegetarian than you just don't eat meat. However, there are different categories of vegetarianism!lol I just don't know them all.

Answer 5

If they are a true vegan, like my niece, it is probably easier to name what they can eat as opposed to what they can't. And it's not that they "can't" eat it, they have chosen not to eat it. I can only speak on what restrictions my niece and her group have. They do not eat eggs, shellfish, fish, any type of meat, any type of poultry, any dairy products or anything that may have been made with an animal based lard such as shortbread cookies, or ice cream cones. I can tell you that it is really hard to feed her at family gatherings....

Answer 6

Strict Vegetarians or Vegans will not eat dairy products or anything that contains dairy products. This includes cookies, cake, and many kinds of candy which generally use eggs, milk and butter to make. Also many snacks such as chips and popcorn (other than natural) use dairy products to prepare them. The list is endless. But if you are doing this in the name of animal rights, it is well worth the effort.......and quite an admirable one!

Answer 7

Jello, Oreo's. Some yogurts, anything that has gelatin in it really, a lot french onion soups because it's boiled in beef stock. But some jelly you can eat because it doesn't have gelatin in it.

Answer 8

My sis is a vegetarian and she had to watch out for stuff cooked in chicken, turkey, or beef broth. Like different types of instant rice like "Rice-A-Roni or Uncle Ben's" in the different flavorings. They have chicken fat in them.

Also, some french onion dip and ranch dip for chips and stuff has stuff in it that comes from animals. Look for gelatin as an ingredient.

Also, when you order soup from restaurants, even if it claims to be vegetable or something like broccoli and cheese, it may have something from animals in it. Like at Jason's Deli they don't have the vegetarian symbol beside their broccoli and cheese soup because it's not a vegetarian soup. Watch out for that kind of stuff.

Answer 9

Again you people with the freaking gelatin. They boil the animal parts. Some goes into making gelatin. Some goes into fertilizing produce. Gelatin bad. Produce good. Why the double standard??

I'd say animal flesh just about covers it really.

Answer 10

Cheese with rennet in it, a lot of gummy types of food have gelatin in them, pretty much any fast food French fries have beef tallow in them, even if they are cooked in vegetable oil.
