World Vegan Day

World Vegan Day

November begins with World Vegan Day, a day of awareness as much as a celebration in vegan dining and culture.

In terms of food, you’ll no doubt find that vegan dining options are more plentiful these days than ten years ago, five years ago, even pre-COVID times as people shun dairy and meats and other animal products for a more plant-based lifestyle.

Restaurants (for the most part) have moved on from the standard single-choice dish for vegetarian diners to a more enhanced offering with vegan options plentiful in some establishments. For some, it’s a way of life (from food to clothes, to hygiene products), for others it’s a dietary requirement, a health choice or a passing trend – and I mean that last point with the greatest of respect.

However you approach it, vegan dining is on the rise and evidenced by the growing number of restaurants participating in World Vegan Day on Tuesday 1 November.

Some restaurants already have dedicated vegan/vegetarian menus while others are creating dishes just for the day.

As days go, World Vegan Day began in 1994 as a way of marking the 50th anniversary of the Vegan Society – neither today nor yesterday. It also marks the start of world vegan month, encouraging people, diners, and businesses to learn more about veganism and a vegan lifestyle.
