Question #6: What do you eat? Are you vegan?

Question: What do you eat? Are you vegan?

Answer:

We have three simple meals a day, a plain breakfast of a muffin or roll, with coffee and juice in the morning. Then we have our main meal at noon and a smaller meal in the evening. In the summer, we also have a snack in the afternoon. We do not eat meat, but do eat fish, so we are not vegans. We also eat dairy products, such as milk, cheese and eggs except on Fridays and during Lent.
