World Vegetarian Day may seem like just another day for those of you who are true vegetarians (yes, sans seafood), but Oct. 1 is all about celebrating everything about being a vegetarian, its impact on environment and of course, the food.

And as the Guardian notes, some of the best countries in the world for vegetarians include Israel, Ethiopia and India.

The next time you have a vegetarian hater/meat lover who says they can't possibly understand your diet, surprise them with one of these recipes below.
