I would have said Milka would be veggie, however I googled a little a found this,.
http://www.evi.com/q/is_milka_vegetarian
This doesn't make sense? Whey powder I thought was derived from the cheese making process but before the contact with rennet?
EDIT: Just researched a bit more there, IT seems Whey can come with rennet or without, some brands use rennet in their way, Mars were about to change to rennet whey but changed their mind, see here "http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6673549.stm"
SO it seems MILKA could infact use Whey that contains calf rennet, You could email them yourself to make double sure, but it seems
2ND EDIT:

it is listed here as calf rennet0 -
I've been veggie for 25 years and made my issues made known many times before. At this stage it is taking the proverbial. There's also a bit more to it which makes it worse. Even my most ardent meat eating friends are scratching their heads.
Sounds messy.

Report back on that restaurant moonbaby, sounds nice! There was a fabulous one in barcelona. It's really nice to have a fancy vegetarian restaurant.
How's everybody?
Oh Was it the Organic place?
Did you like barcelona.....I've been meaning to go back.
My friend went earlier this year, she said it a little rough now.Zombienosh wrote: »I would have said Milka would be veggie, however I googled a little a found this,.

Nicest place I've ever eaten by a mile, they had their own brands of oil, balsamic vinegar, wine etc which was cool. Drooling thinking about it. Even that cheese cake with honey candied walnuts was the nicest dessert I;ve ever had.
Barcelona was great! Was there a week and didn't get to do a fraction of all the things or see a lot of things. Would love to go back, was really fun. Cheap 4 star hotel too! A lot of people do get robbed but I'd say it's their own fault, sure nobody even stood close enough to me to rob me while I was there. My brother did see somebody getting robbed when he was there but that is because people just leave wallets/cameras on their table...outside. At night it was just mostly people asking us if we wanted to 'disco party' and selling us beer.
there was a great nightclub there razzmatazz, had 5 types of music dancefloors and a few floors in the building. They open so late there.
I'd go back if I was you! Can't wait to myself, it's also nice being warm!
MILKA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0 -

I emailed a restaurant ages ago about one of the 'vegetarian' pasta dishes including pesto. they thanked me for letting them know and said they had already updated the menus in the restaurant and would be updating the site menus soon. Was on the site today seeing if there were any vacancies (there weren't ) and decided to check the menu. Sure enough the vegetarian pasta no longer contains pesto...but they've got a new vegetarian pizza which does. >_< 0

Exactly. Once you liked it, then that's alright!
Spring rolls, or any pasta dish are normally the lazy main courses, oh add risotto in there too as a lazy dish. Lots of times, those spring rolls will be spicier because they would lack in flavour otherwise, which stems from probably not knowing how to prepare them in the kitchen.
There are LOTS more places with different veggie mains out there, hopefully you get to sample them

Carbonara.
My Mum's support over my vegetarianism seems to have began to dwindle. Was at my granny's today and my uncle gave me a Bulmers despite me saying I really didn't want one (I didn't bother trying to explain it's not suitable for vegetarians' 'cause I knew they wouldn't really get it and probably take the piss). I thought maybe I could choke it down but one sip made me feel terrible so it got left behind. Mum didn't seem to like this (even though her suggestion was pour ir down the sink). And just now she said she's cooking some savoury rice and would I like some but I said I couldn't since it had chicken fat in it to which she replied 'But you're not doing it for religious reasons.' I'm a bit disappointed, she was so supportive to start off with. I'm not sure what started this off, I've been doing all my own cooking and shopping and haven't inconvenienced her as far as I can see. I'm hoping to go vegan in March as well so bit worried about how she'll take that. 0 -

My mum was like this too, and still is when she's in one of her moods. I think it partly stems from her nurturing instinct, where she might usually cook in the house for the family, your independent dietary choices have compromised that and she might not fully understand or comprehend your decision. Perhaps at the weekends or once a week you could prepare an interesting veggie dish for the family. I know my mum and others would find vegetarianism confusing and maybe view it as a sort of a exclusive, yuppie lifestyle that costs more money because to make a good dish it usually takes a lot more preparation (my mum doesn't like me being in the kitchen preparing my food), which isn't true.
I know its difficult but you just have to smile and stick with your beliefs, in the long term they'll have a measure of respect for you, for having stuck with it.0 -

does it contain carmine colouring which is derived from Cochineal insects? I never drank it so I wasn't aware of it not being veg.
I know some other drinks use some form of beta carotene for colouring which again is from some animal source.
I imagine it is filtered with an agent that is made from fish bone Islinglass.
It wouldn't actually contain traces of the agent.
Alot of beers and wines are made this way.
As alot of fruit and vegetables are fertilized with blood and bone meal also.
You have to draw your line somewhere. I chose not to worry about it.
It seems a shame to discriminate again a pint, when your letting a tomato off scot free.
