The Kids Are All Right
It’s not often that vegetarians and vegan encounter trouble in sticking to their eating habits overseas, but for Mark Ruffalo, it was a nightmare.
While filming the new movie The Brothers Bloom in Serbia, the actor confessed that being a vegetarian in Eastern Europe had been nearly impossible. “We ate a lot of what they call Shopska salads which was the only thing I could eat in all of Serbia because that’s the only thing that doesn’t have meat in it,” he told the UK Metro. “It was really sad for me there,” he added.
Making matters worse, every time he let locals know that he was a vegetarian, he was accosted. “When I told them I was vegetarian they were like ‘you must be from America because nobody here would ever be vegetarian – we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!’. Apart from that we had a nice time!”
Note to self: Avoid Serbia.

There are plenty of veggie options in Serbia. All he had to do was say he was fasting, and they would have served him plenty of lenten goodies. And, if he isn’t vegan, there are plenty of tasty dishes made with cheeses, yogurts, creams, etc. As for the joke about eating him, that’s Eastern European black humour for you… Mark Ruffalo is tasty, though… yum yum :)
