Hello Wonderful People! I’m off to South America tomorrow! As I'm horrendously disorganised, I still haven't packed and I'm due to get a train to London in 5 hours. Whoops.

There are some countries that are really good for veggies and there are others that look at you with disgust when you ask if there’s a veggie option. You’d be surprised at the amount of people who have no idea what the word vegetarian means and who offer you chicken as an alternative. The last time I checked, chicken was definitely meat.
