Ah, vegan travel. How we miss going on adventures around the world while celebrating our lifestyle in far-flung locales and destinations. The chance to stretch one’s legs and feel the wind in your face has been severely limited by the current global pandemic. However, it doesn’t do well to complain, and besides, there’s still plenty of great things to do while you’re indoors. One hobby that we’ve done while staying indoors is to look for vegan recipes from various culinary traditions around the world. The Vegan Society may have been established in the early 20th century, but many cultures have already been developing delicious all-green cuisine before that (and some even after that, but we digress). Here are a few cultural vegan dishes that you may like.

Nice Socca from Nice, France.
Socca is a kind of chickpea-based flatbread from Nice, France. This traditional French snack can be served in many ways, and like ratatouille, is absolutely vegan. Composed of chickpea flour, olive oil and flour, you can easily cook up your own rendition of this delicious snack in your own home.

Chewy Banh Mi from Vietnam
Banh Mi combines French bread with Vietnamese veggies, a sandwich that utilizes the best of two different cultures. While its origins are of a colonial origin, it is nonetheless a wholly Vietnamese snack that’s enjoyed as street food in places like Saigon. While the baguette is always stuffed with delicious vegetables, sometimes it is served with meat. However, tofu and meat substitute versions are always readily available, like this seared tofu banh mi recipe from Love and Lemons: https://www.loveandlemons.com/banh-mi/
