What it really means
Food with no animal products at all — no meat, fish, dairy, eggs or honey. The UK is very vegan-friendly: menus mark vegan dishes with "Ve" or a leaf symbol, and supermarkets have big vegan ranges.
Chinese explanation
完全不含动物成分的食物——没有肉、鱼、奶、蛋和蜂蜜。英国对纯素非常友好：菜单用"Ve"或叶子符号标注纯素菜，超市也有大量纯素产品。
