Any international tourists out there?
This summer I am contemplating visiting China and Japan. As an
ovo-lacto-optional vegetarian, I am concerned with locating suitable
restaurants, learning the apropriate phrases, taboos, and such.
I have plenty of guidebooks for the omnivorous; vegetarianism is
rarely mentioned, with no helpful suggestions.
European, Latin American, etc. data might be tangentially applicable,
and useful for future reference.
Any data? Please send to the net ... things are too quiet out there.

Lately I've run across a couple of references to a subgenre of Chinese food that is vegetarian. It has some religious connection (Buddhist?), and is heavily into making things that aren't meat or fish look like meat or fish. There's something about it in one of the restaurant columns in the lastest issue of Gourmet. So I would guess there must be restaurants in China that specialize in this. Does anyone know of a cookbook pertaining to this? Karen
