Guest guest Posted January 17, 2002 Report Share Posted January 17, 2002 In the midwestern US, hare krishna are looked upon as the crazy people at the airport, or at least that's how my mom portrayed them. I think she about had a heart attack when I told her my favorite place to eat during Peace Corps was their resturant a couple of blocks away from the main office. Cheap, simple, veggie (I wasn't veggie then, but the country I lived in only ate rice and beans and boiled starchy things with lots of salami or egg grease) and yummy. Also in walking distance from where all the PCVs stayed in the city. There was also a really good veg resturant near the office, about 1/2 hour walk, that we liked alot. The strange thing is, this third world country had at least 3 veg resturants that I know of. Now I live in south Texas (grad school) and in a university town with 45,000 students, not a single veg place in the entire town. If it did exist, it would be so expensive. The closest we have is a cheap Thai-ish place that will sub in tofu for meat. It's yummy, but...
