Art Stars The glorious month of June busts out all over with the first instalment of club personality Angel Eyedealism's astrology column. "Vegan Swallows" With only one more "End of the Line" to go Monsieur Milan (gourmet) Gagnon takes a vegan break in a city known to chew these dietary dissidents up and spit them out in a bloody meaty pulp. On a quest to three very different vegan/vegetarian restaurants he finds his Eden, well almost. "You Put What in Your Mouth?" Whatever your native culture, the regions you've travelled to, or the religion you were raised in dictates you feast on, chances are the are some things you simply won't consume. Whether your taboos include guinea pigs, feces, or human flesh, Pamela Moye lets you know that you can rest assured that there's someone out there eating enough of them for the both of you.
