The ancient Sanskrit texts give strict rules about eating. They forbid the preparation of food by a member of a caste lower than that of the man who eats it. Even today a Brahmin would rather carry his own food than go into a non-Brahmin restaurant when travelling. On these lines a Westerner should do the same if he cannot find vegetarian food.
