Ha ha... nope, I'm a vegetarian. No chicken for me. Restaurants were fine... it's all about choosing where to eat. I mean, even though I don't agree with this, English food has a reputation for being bland, right?
I'm sure your host family will be understanding. My host Mum stocked up enough vegetarian food to feed a family of 12 for a week because she wanted to make sure there was stuff I could eat.
