One concern of some people - those who have no experience with it - is eating out while vegetarian. Where do you go? What can you get? Is it even possible?
You probably haven’t noticed many of the vegetarian options at the places you frequent. Or perhaps haven’t recognized them as being vegetarian. Similarly, I don’t notice all the McDonald’s I pass. These things just aren’t on my radar as veg*n fare may not be on yours unless you’re consciously looking for it.
Sure, you probably won’t find a great veg meal at a steak house, but you may. These days the choices are there. Veggie burgers are plentiful and meat free options raineth upon us.
Mexican food is a good way to go. Some places may use lard in the beans or chicken stock in the rice - just ask first. Chineese and Thai are good (watch for fish sauce), sushi, middle eastern, pizza, …more than you realize.
Expand your horizons. Have fun with it. Stop in at places you see in your travels and check out the menu. Your range of options will grow as well as your experiences.
