breakfast: banana
lunch: an entire pizza from Alberto’s. I left off the cheese and had peppers, onions, mushrooms and olives. It was not cheap, but work bought it for me. The person I spoke with at Alberto’s told me that there is no eggs or dairy in their sauce or dough.
snack: grapes, another banana
dinner: lots and lots of popcorn. I had regular popcorn and the black kernel kind. I added nutritional yeast and braggs to it (thanks Owen).
snack: leftover isreali couscous with baked tofu (see previous recipes)
update: I emailed Unibroue (who makes Maudite beer which I tried on 1/15/2010) to find out if their beer is vegan. Click for their response.
Dear Stacey,
Thank you for your interest in Unibroue and its products.
In response to your inquiry, we are happy to attest that no animal ingredients are used in Maudite or in any of our beers (except for Honey in our U Miel brand).
Cheers,
Lyne Brochu
Sleeman Unibroue Inc.
I also emailed Budweiser to find out about their beer. Their response.
Stacey,
Thank you for taking the time to write and ask about Budweiser.
Anheuser-Busch beers are brewed around the world using water, yeast, barley malt, hops and cereal grains (such as rice, corn, or sorghum).
None of our Anheuser-Busch brewed beers or other products contain any animal ingredients (such as milk, eggs, etc), or process aids such as isinglass or gelatin, except for Michelob Honey Lager and Michelob Honey Wheat, which use real honey, and Budweiser and Bud Light Chelada, which contain Clamato.
Stacey, thanks again for your interest. We hope that this information is helpful!

i usually write something like this
“I am wondering if Budweiser beer is vegan. I do not use any ingredients derived from an animal including gelatin, milk, honey, whey, casein, isinglass, etc. I am interested both in the filtration process and in the ingredients that go into the beer itself. Thank you for your help.”
