    It used be An Gabhair Orga about 3 years ago when I was in college there. I think I remember drivin past it a few months ago and noticing it had changed hands or closed down or something. If its still there, deffo bring them there, the foods great, it v reasonable and it works out even cheaper cos it was BYOB

    Vegan burrito in La Salza, market stalls on saturday, evergreen health shops, vegan fake meet. Make sure it is vegan and not vegetarian. Vegan mince in dunnes. Healthwise health shop. What do they want?
    Frys fake meet is excellent.

    A lot of drinks are. :S

    Not that hard to find the food if you know where to look.

    Especially if you are looking into a bag of rice and you have a carrot in one hand and a broccoli in the other...

    Vegans? Rubber shoes, pale skin and cabbage-smelling farts. Who needs it?

    I'm pretty sure Govinda's not all vegan. The cottage cheese in the paneers springs to mind.

    And Food for Thought def isn't vegan. unless you just get a beetroot salad or something.

    Jut asjk the govindas guy, he will tell you all about the food, all the ingrediants are also on the stall in a list.
    Food for thought is pretty crap.

    scientific fact meat made our very distant ancestors more intellegent, extra gooodies in meat.. vegans are going against our very nature to devour prey.
    good vegan eating places are any hedge with berries, which will be by definition be
    organic and un-processed and we are not exploiting any third world countries by importing them and as a consequence the carbon foot print is also low.

    ... and no that's not meat eating hostility its Logic.:D

    Highly revevant read>> HEDGE.. anyplace recommended will get some knock for having some part of the menu that is not "strictly" vegan..
    so HEDGE is highly relevant. Thanks for your relevent imput anyway ( no offence)

    I'm far too intelligent to follow our basic 'nature'.
