Plants, Please!: One Vegan's Journey Through the Carnivorous Planet

Plants, Please! One Vegan's Journey Through the Carnivorous Planet

From Goat Cheese in Paris to Steak in Buenos Aires - The Hilarious Struggle to Stay Vegan Abroad

By Geoffrey Zachary

Meat. Cheese. Eggs. Existential Dread.

Armed with oat milk, an overpacked moral compass, and wildly misplaced confidence, Ivy Greene set off to explore the world - only to discover that beyond the leafy safety of her Brighton café, the planet runs almost entirely on animal products... and quiet judgement.

From being accidentally served goat brain in Morocco, to barely surviving Argentina's steak obsession, to realising that in France, cheese isn't food - it's a birthright - Ivy's attempt to stay vegan abroad spirals into an international obstacle course of culinary culture clashes, awkward translations, and the occasional hummus-fuelled breakdown.

But this isn't just a travel memoir. It's a gloriously chaotic, brutally honest, laugh-out-loud account of:

✔ Moral meltdowns in the face of meat markets and fondue festivals

✔ Accidentally dating a carnivorous, annoyingly handsome travel vlogger

✔ Surviving whale meat proposals, altitude sickness, and the Cheese Wheel that haunts her dreams

✔ The relentless, passive-aggressive power of feta, shrimp paste, and "vegetarian" air quotes

✔ How to pack quinoa bars for five continents - and still run out by week three

✔ Why love and lettuce might just be able to coexist... eventually

Whether you're proudly plant-based, occasionally oat-milk-curious, or just here for the schadenfreude of watching a morally rigid vegan unravel in a carnivorous world, this book delivers the ultimate blend of:
