What is Vegetarian, what isn't?

Vegetarian= grains, grains, pulses, nuts, seeds, vegetables, dairy products

Not Vegetarian= eggs, common animal ingredients such as gelatine (in marshmallows),lard, tallow, suet and rennet(some cheeses).

It's vital to check the ingredient list of any food product you may buy and ask for a list at take away outlets and restaurants ( as most waiters probably wouldn't know that mayonnaise contains egg or the eggless cake has a gelatin containig jelly filling!)
