	I am a vegetarian and have never eaten any meat/fish/poultry.
	I have problems when ever I travel in Canada/USA.
	First of all, the airlines promise vegetarian food on board
	and always tell you sorry, something went wrong (and no food).
	(at least some times they offer bread and butter instead of the meal)
	I always have to look for a Pizza place or Mexican Restaurant to
	get decent Veg. meal (unless you are satisfied with salads and bread).
	One can't always succeed in finding one, especially if you are attending
	a conference and you don't have much time for lunch.
	So, when ever I travel I always carry Chapatis or Pooris and hot
	pickle (E. Indian food) for 'emergencies'.

	What do other strict vegetarians do while travelling to conferences,
	pleasure trips etc. ?


	We started eating tofu after reading articles in this news group
	(for its protein).
	We slice tofu into cubes and deep fry in oil and add to curries etc
	we make.  There is one problem, it soaks too much of oil.
	Does any body have suggestions (How to add tofu to curries?).
