Chinese rice & nut dumpling
Vegetarian Zongzi (glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed) from a sidewalk vendor in Manhattan's Chinatown. This one was filled with some combination of chickpeas, cooked peanuts, chestnuts, and/or some other kind of legume. I always assumed that these dumplings were all meaty, but thanks to Jaimie for asking (in Chinese) and finding out that there were veggie options! (there were sweet ones too, with red bean paste) For those of you who don't speak Chinese, it's probably worth asking in English for vegetarian options next time you see these for sale - they do exist...

Pizza!
Allow me to quote Dan Piraro from an old VegNews magazine:
As an Italian American, I know a little about pizza. My grandparents immigrated to America from Sicily at the turn of the century with little more than the clothes on their backs, too many children and a pizza recipe. I grew up eating my grandmother's pizza — real Italian pizza — and guess what? It didn't have cheese on it. Yes, you read that correctly — Italian pizza does not always have cheese. Furthermore, it doesn't always have meat, either.Anyhow, they only wish that *their* cheesy pizzas were this good. It was loaded with zucchini, mushrooms, olives, artichokes, peppers, 'homemade' seitan, and some fennel. It isn't yet baked in the foto, of course. Really, we would recommend using slightly fewer toppings in order to bake everything well into the middle — but once you start, it's hard to stop!
In conclusion: yes, vegans eat pizza. :)
