• First experience at a Vegan restaurant

Im from Denmark, and the noun Vegan is as foreign ice is to Africa. I visited the restaurant Kopps yesterday after some walking around confused...found the "wrong" door.. buzzing the (kitchen) door... saying sorry to the kitchen lady.. walked 10 meters and saw something that looked like a real entrance - as i walked in, i was enchanted by the beautiful decorating - old doors in the ceiling.. as in decoration.. benches made of compressed wood splinters, white old wooden chairs, as in retro.. As i entered, i was approached by a kind blond german speaking fluently English, much better that i - Table for 12 please. after some time we got the table running through the room, menus was a bit long "on the way", written in German which actually made 6 from our group leave as they didn't understand a word. I was the only vegan in the group, and surely the answers turned to me - like its obvious that a vegan dane know what kniepelsuppe is.. hurray for google translate - onion soup. Well so 6 of us were left remaining.. It felt a bit embarresing since I was "the vegan", and i told the waiter that 6 had to leave and if he prefered saving the large section for a greater "party" we wouldn't mind sitting at another table, but he said that it was our decision - we sayed. Lying about why the left seemed natural, as the other conisidense would be irrelevant synichism. Its not like i had any part of it, Except inviting them to join us. after some time google half of the content - the other half was translated by our most potent German translater. I was impressed by the nuanced taste in the onion soup, i mean, have onions EVER tasted that tasty, my omnivore friends from the school agreed. Actually.. the whole experience has for them been an eye opener.. in the fact that they, had, this really deep believe about mead and other animals product and their flavor.. which no substitutes could replace... one of them was indeed convinced that something was eggsalat and contained egg - i asked the waiter- ofcause not, its all vegan.. actually it was the second time i asked the waiters of the food.. not for me.. but for the omnivores and their believes.. they wheir astonished .. how something like noodles and preperation could produce such similarities.. In other words.. the usual argument - because i like mead and couldnt live without it was questioned down to its core.. as for my experience.. the meals was amazingly filling.. in an amazing good way. full in belly and full en energy
