I turned vegan around this time last year and I did pretty well for about 8 months...Loved the soy hot-dogs, garden-burgers, soy chicken strips, etc. These substitutes kept me going but at the same time was spending double in groceries. The good point was I could feel myself much healthier, lighter, etc. but at times felt that I wasn't getting enough nutrition. One day, was invited for dinner and was hungry as hell. The only thing cooked was momos...Then you know the rest. Thats that of my 8 month vegan life. Am an even more voracious meat eater ever since that fateful day and am glad I'm eating different items every meal instead of soy-based products day and night... Moral: If you're a meat eater turned vegetarian, never ever go for dinner to another Nepali's house hungry...Meat and more meat will be the only tempting course; here veggies are cooked for sake of cooking. They don't really care about the time and effort put into preparing it as they do to meat, the ultimate nepali bhoj item.
