A Vegan Experience
We
just catered a Vegan Wedding! Catering a Vegan Wedding was a fun and
informative venture in learning about alternative dining choices.
The definition of Vegan is: a strict vegetarian who consumes no animal food or
dairy products and also: one who abstains from using animal
products (such as leather)
In a nutshell, there seem to be three
main reasons for being Vegan:
For the animals:
This
one is pretty self-explanatory.
For the people:
We
take grain from starving countries to feed animals to kill and eat ourselves.
Heart
disease and Cancer are top illnesses causing early death and they have been
connected to the consumption of animal products
For the planet:
The
business of raising animals to kill and eat contributes to climate change,
animal extinction, water pollution, deforestation and wilderness destruction.
The
thought of creating a Vegan Dining Experience may seem intimidating without the
use of meat and dairy.
Our
Executive Chef David Tolly created some innovative and delicious menu choices
for the Vegan crowd.

Being
Vegan is certainly not for everyone, but there are many reasons that people
choose Veganism and it was a fun and deliciously good time. As a matter of fact
the vegan carrot cake was so good that we are selling it at Bristol Farms in Canton, with some of
our other baked items! We have a selection of Tea Breads and other Goodies on
sale now!
