A SIGN OF CHANGING TIMES - ...When I was in Russia in '91 and asked for vegetarian food, I would often hear "we have fish, vegetarians eat fish!" It was tough. This time I went to an Indian restaurant near ul.Gorkogo..., mentioned that I am a vegetarian and ordered some food that had cheese (I eat it sometimes when I travel, not at home). My waiter immediately pointed to me that the food had cheese and asked if I wanted to take something else. I was amazed - the Moscow waiters now seem so respectful and understanding of vegetarianism, so helpful and professional. I also spent a day in Kiev. There I went to a Mexican restaurant in Podol (Podil), and again the service was excellent, I was brought a vegetarian dish and it was delicious. So, Moscow for a vegetarian (and Kiev, as well) is not so bad at all!
