VEGGIE FEAST

QI want to travel to the North-east and eat, but I’m a vegetarian. Is that a viable option?

The general perception of cuisine from the North-east is that it is heavy on meats. This isn’t the case. They have a whole range of herbs, vegetables, root vegetables, fruits and tubers. The green vegetables they eat are exceptional and the way they cook them is super tasty. As a vegetarian, I would not worry about going to any of the North-east states. It’s high time that we change this perception and stop putting various cuisines in boxes. We must start having meaningful, corrective conversations.
