This is a Hipmunk post from Jodi Ettenberg of Legal Nomads

With Burma (Myanmar) very much in the news in 2012, I wanted to feature a guide to the country’s food for the vegetarians. I’m not a vegetarian myself, but I found myself eating like one in the country because there were so many creative, delicious dishes to try that didn’t involve meat.

Shannon O’Donnell writes over at A Little Adrift and is a vegetarian. She recently spent a few weeks in Burma with her niece. She’s crafted a thorough guide to eating in the country if you want to avoid meat, divided by dish.  

With her permission, I’ve posted some of her photos below, but for the full guide, click on over to her site. Those of you looking to visit the country might find the food choices overwhelming – there’s a confluence of different ethnicities, all coming together to provide more foods than you know what to do with. Her post is a great place to start to find the best foods on the street, and without hurting your wallet.
