Thanksgiving Eve
Dinner
Thanksgiving Eve Dinner The VSH Healthy and Compassionate HOLIDAY TRADITION Wednesday, November 25th by Karl Seff, Ph.D. Once again the holiday season is almost upon us, and plans have been made for our annual Thanksgiving Eve Dinner. As before, Govinda’s Vegetarian Buffet is more than happy to host this wonderful event. It is open to members and non-members alike. The fare will be very traditional (see menu at right), completely homemade, and vegan. Whenever possible it will be organic. It will also be free of GMOs, hydrogenated oils, MSG, preservatives, and artificial colors and flavors. The oil and salt content will be kept under control, and nut-free alternatives will be available. Expect a cozy and serene family-style Thanksgiving experience with additional seating opportunities and more service this year, but without last year’s live band and incense. Our hosts at Govinda’s are trying for “best ever.” The cost is $16.00 for adults and $12.00 for children 5 to 11 years old; children 4 and younger eat free. The two seatings will be somewhat staggered, beginning at 5 and 7 p.m. For reservations, please call Madana at 531-1929 between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. If you get a recording, just leave your name, phone number, the number of people in your party, and the seating time you prefer. She will call you back in a day or two to reconfirm and give further information.This event is well known for bringing together the diverse arms of the vegetarian community, including animal rights activists, environmentalists, health vegetarians, ethical vegetarians, and people of various religious groups. We are the “Honolulu Vegetarian Family.” Talk to the people at your table; like you, they elected to have a vegan Thanksgiving. Millions of people across the U.S. are celebrating Thanksgiving in this way. “Gentle Thanksgiving” is a program of FARM (Farm Animal Reform Movement). People use mock meats, substitute a few ingredients, and bingo, Thanksgiving has been made Gentle. Baked yams, cranberry sauce and veggies were always whole vegan fare, and, with a small change to the ingredient list, the mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and pie can be vegan, too. Some of us have already said goodbye to the mock meats. We hope to see you there!
Govinda’s is located in the Hare Krishna Temple at 51 Coelho Way, off the Ewa (Honolulubound) side of the Pali Highway, just before the Nuuanu Avenue exit.
