Bagel pizza and jello with fruit sound great. Thanks! -OP

Jello is not vegetarian unless you buy a very special package found in natural food areas and as a vegetarian I would assume any Jello I would see would not be vegetarian.

Wouldn't Jello not be VEGAN but still fine for vegetarian? If a vegetarian will eat cheese, eggs, drink milk, etc. then wouldn't jello be fine?

Gelatin is made from animal bones/skin. It is absolutely not vegetarian. Different from eggs and milk in that you can't get it without killing an animal.

Some cheese is made with rennet (from animal stomachs) and isn't vegetarian, but many producers have switched over to plant-based enzymes instead of rennet now so more and more cheese is actually vegetarian (though obviously not vegan).

And some vegetarians are less strict and don't worry about things like rennet and gelatin.

The easy thing with cheese is just to look for a kosher symbol. Any dairy food with that symbol will be vegetarian, and it’s on many brands.

My veg kid loves hummus as a snack. With pretzels, pretzel crisps, pita chips, or veggies. There are so many different kinds of hummus too.

No, because you have to kill the animal to make the gelatin. It's made from skin and bones.

Fwiw, hunt's snack packs "jello" and their pudding, is vegetarian.

Yes but they label themselves “gel” packs so since OP specifically asked about vegetarian I wanted to clarify about Jello.

Pp here-- yes, you are totally right. I just wanted to share about the hunts brand snack packs, because I think it is so cool and exciting that I (a vegetarian) can actually get "jello/gélatine/whatever it's called" in a mainstream supermarket but, as said above, jello brand is not ok!

I bet you are thinking of Jello pudding.

Get some shit from Trader Joes - pretzels, chips, crackers with cheese dip, the jellybeans, cookies, candy, seaweed, tortilla chips with pineapple salsa, etc.
They have very delicious snacks up in there!
They will love it!!!!

That’s a great tip, thanks.

We are veg and we do not eat/prepare Jello or anything with gelatin. We buy TJ’s or Dandies brand marshmallows. I don’t know if my kids have ever had Jello.
