More seriously: Usually I had at least a frozen ready-made soup or two to choose from at the supermarket which were made on vegetable stock. Today everything is made on chicken stock or veil stock. Regardless whether it's tomato soup, asparges soup or ordinary soup. Apparantly it's what people want.
hope it's better in other countries.

luckily, there are still some soups here which have only vegetable broth in them. in fact i think there are more and more compared to a couple years ago. but for the rest of the products it's still in a pathetic state (the damned risotto is just one example of many. once i discovered gelatine in *yoghurt* for god's sake !)

Can anyone tell me btw, the historical background for the reason why such a high proportion of brits are vegetarians?

i would like to know as well ; i remember when i travelled there i was really impressed to see so many different products labelled "suitable for vegetarians" in just an ordinary grocery store (i mean, not a bio food store). and that was already the case more than 10 years ago, when i was there. france is quite behind the times when it comes to that, in comparison.
