You don't eat chocolate anymore? Then have some ice cream!
Explain card for vegetarian family
A friendly card for relatives who offer ice cream when you skip chocolate. Clear, kind, and ready for the family chat.
Many people mean well and still miss that vegan skips milk, butter, cream, eggs, and honey too. This card explains it without a lecture.
Example card
Fixed example for search engines: Steffen eats vegan, with everyday traps and a thank-you line.
Sample headline: Steffen eats vegetarian.
This guest eats vegetarian.
Please skip
- meat
- fish and seafood
- gelatin from animals
Easy to miss
- Milk ice cream and milk chocolate look plant-free at a glance, but they are dairy.
- Gummy candy and some marshmallows use gelatin from animals.
- Birthday cake and many cookies use butter and eggs unless labeled otherwise.
- Fresh pasta and some dried noodles list egg in the ingredients.
- Soup and gravy often use stock cubes with chicken, beef, or animal fat.
Usually fine (still check once)
- dairy ice cream and milk chocolate (if they eat dairy)
- cheese without meat or fish
- eggs and egg pasta
- fresh fruit and salads without anchovy dressing
- bread and fries without meat fat
Thanks for keeping that in mind.
Questions
- Does vegan mean only no meat?
- No. Vegan also skips milk, cheese, butter, cream, eggs, honey, and gelatin. Ask when unsure.
- Why mention ice cream?
- People often swap chocolate for ice cream. Dairy ice cream is usually fine for vegetarians, but not for vegans.
- Is the first name stored?
- No. It only appears on the card image on your device. It is not sent to our servers.
