Here is a list of vegetarian and vegan food you can buy at fast food places.
Have left out some obvious stuff like many drinks, vegetables, etc.
Anything on the vegan list can be eaten by vegetarians.
If you have an allergy or would feel appalled if you ever mistakenly ate any dairy or meat, then we do strongly advise that you still double check with the server when you order. Menus and ingredients constantly change, and our own efforts to produce this list are not infallible.
Another thing to beware of if you're very keen to avoid animal fats - is that some foods don't have animal ingredients but they are cooked in the same fat as animal products. But they get away with saying that they are vegetarian. Ask at the point of purchase.
