Italian food lends itself to veggie recipes very easily.
It's a nightmare trying to get decent veggie stuff in France.

It does, but they don't see it that way.
The French are ridiculous - even a Margherita pizza comes with ham on it.

I was met with utter incomprehension by a Spanish waiter once when I tried to explain there was nothing I could eat from the food on offer.
Then I learned the phrase 'Soy vegetariano y no comer pescado' and was treated like a king* for the remainder of my holiday.
It's possible I was the first Englishman ever to have attempted to speak Spanish to him.

*Well, a vegetarian king.
