A Woman Ordered A Vegan Meal In Spain, Immediately Regretted It

Ordering a vegan meal in restaurants can be tricky enough, but traveling abroad? Who even knows how the words “vegan meal” will translate?

Fashion blogger Gabbie Jarvis discovered that sometimes when you say “vegan,” people will automatically hear the words “vegetables only.” And while vegan is the absence of any animal products (meat, cheese, dairy, eggs, fish) there are a a lot of options other than what her poor sister was served at a restaurant in Spain: tomatoes and raw onions. This is so not okay.

(UPDATE: it appears Gabbie has since deleted her Twitter account).

Vegans aren’t on a perpetual diet —  they want to feel satiated after a meal just like anyone else, without the use of animal products.
