Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese has taken her burlesque striptease show to Paris, France, where she tantalizes with her sensual moves at the Crazy Horse. The American dancer divides her time between Paris and the United States, cramming in marathon French lessons and shopping at the markets in between routines, and admits she misses Los Angeles at times, partially because of the selection of vegetarian restaurants there.

“I miss driving my cars [Dita has a 1939 Chrysler New Yorker, a 1965 Jaguar S-type and a BMW Z4] and some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants, although I am not actually a vegetarian,” Von Teese told Connexion France.

France is sometimes known for being a paradise for meat eaters, but according to food blogger David Lebovitz, there’s no shortage in vegetarian fare in the City of Lights.

Jillian Michaels has given USA Today readers some advice on eating healthy on the go.

“Order the vegan meal on the plane because it’s usually cleaner than all the other foods. Bring snacks with you when you’re on the road — things you can grab and go — whether it’s a healthy protein bar or dry-roasted nuts.”

Most major airlines, like Continental, United and American offer vegetarian and vegan meals for passengers, but it’s always best to contact the company in advance. In fact, American Airlines suggests you order at least 24 hours ahead of your flight for their items like penne pasta with artichokes or triple pepper bean medley.

Daryl Hannah has been to a lot of places since she left her hometown of Chicago, Illinois in the United States to pursue an acting career.

Most recently her adventures took her to England to raise awareness for biodiversity, but she says the best meals she eats overseas are in Italy.

When not in Italy, she’s probably brown bagging it.

“I usually bring my own food because I’m a vegetarian and you can’t always count on finding good vegetarian food abroad,” the actress told The Independent, which profiles some of her travel experiences.

Organic Travel is a great place to start for veggie friendly adventure seekers looking to maintain their quality of life on the road by serving as directory for organic stores and restaurants, farmer’s markets, smoke-free and environmentally friendly hotels and more.

Thumbing through the restaurant listings in East Sussex, for example, leads you to Terre a Terre Vegetarian Restaurant which serves items like Hoisin Tofu with pickled ginger and Smoked Sakuri Soba. Vegan and gluten-free items are also designated on the menu.

Organic Travel allows you to search by United States listings or Worldwide, and by categories such as sustainable events, natural parks, and green lodging.

“Three In A Bed” Puts Vegetarian Lodge Owner In Last Place

A meatless bed and breakfast owner came in last in the UK reality TV show Three In A Bed that lets B&B owners stay at others’ inns and then pay what they consider fair price.

Apparently, some of the other B&B owners may have missed their morning meat.

Andrew Blackall, who owns The Lodge at Avebury, is vegetarian and does not serve meat with his breakfasts.

Blackall’s price of £250 (approximately $383 in U.S. dollars) left the other contestants feeling as if they’d be missing their savings and their sausage.

Mr. Blackwell’s place is near the famous Stonehenge, plus you won’t smell the neighbors’ bacon in the morning.

For a traveling vegetarian, you may very well get what you pay for.
