MODERATORS
This is such a bullshit response. There are plenty of vegetarian options when eating out in Australia. And the more vegetarians there are, the more options restaurants will offer.
City? Yeah, if you pay a fair whack or live near one of the buddhist or hindu country diaspora hubs. Out bush? Yeah, nah. There will be one menu item, maybe two if you include the garden salad as being a meal.
One of the few vegetarian meals I've been able to have back home is "& chips"
Sometimes we make it fancy and have potato cakes too, but there are only so many ways you can deep fry a potato before throwing up
Yeah that's true. I'm a city dweller and spoilt for choice. But I reckon if more people were asking for it out bush, the restaurants would update their menus.
Also depends on the city I imagine. I now describe myself as an "omnivore who prefers to not eat the animals" due to desperate times when going out...
Depends what you even call "city" really. Even in the most populated capital, things can get really dire in the outer suburban sprawl. Especially if they're mostly Anglo-european suburbs. Your choices start to be mostly "vegetarian burger using frozen gross patties" at the local bowling club or "pre-frozen falafel kebab". And the "don't add meat" option at the ubiquitous Chinese and Thai joints.
I guess it varies. There are vegetarian options at a lot of places, but I often find it's only one or two options.
It really depends on the venue of course. Some of my favourite places have tons of options, but most of my friends aren't interested in those. It also gets even harder when the few vegetarian options are often ruled out for you due to other dietary restrictions...
That’s exactly what bullet point 2 is saying.
