Vote for all your favorite vegetarian products

I have a confession to make. I'm something of a sucker for any kind of quiz or online voting opportunity, especially when there are prizes to be had. When someone forwarded this chance to let my opinions be known, I couldn't help but immediately go vote.

Ecorazzi, a website dedicated to all things vegetarian, is promoting the VegNews Magazine's 2008 Veggie Awards. You can cast your vote in a variety of veggie-friendly categories, everything from bakeries to make-up to blogs. There are also prizes! Just for voting you'll be entered to win one of a few really cool prizes, which are detailed before you get started voting.

Though I consider myself veggie-friendly, I'm not a vegetarian and unfortunately I'm not very familiar with most of the products that are being voted on. I just went with some items that looked good to me. Hopefully, you can head over and legitimately help VegNews decide the best vegetarian products of the year.

KFC's veggie sandwich isn't quite so meat-free

KFC no-meat sandwich banner from ecorazzi

I've learned over the years that one of the vital rules when cooking for both meat-eaters and vegetarians is that you have to do everything you can not to contaminate your vegetarian cooking vessels and tools with anything meaty. I first awoke to this mandate when I found myself in charge of grilling for both camps of eaters at various potlucks and picnics. I would bring two sets of spatulas and tongs, so as to ensure that I didn't render food inedible for vegetarians.

However, it seems that KFC in Canada has not learned that same no-contamination lesson that I assimilated during college. They recently announced that they would carry a "non-chicken" sandwich in order to have a menu option available to vegetarians and vegans. However, according to Ecorazzi, they cook this meat-free patty in the same fryers in which they cook their meat-based meals, which renders it unappealing to the vast majority of the no-meat crowd.

I realize that it might be naive of us to think that KFC would have thoroughly thought out their vegetarian plan, but it seems to me that in order to keep offering these sandwiches, they're going to have to declare at least one fryer per store a no-meat zone.
