Treasurer* J. H. Shone. *Hon. Secretary* J. S. Herron. *Committee:* C. ADAMS. : G. TROBRIDGE J. COULTER. : D. WIGHTMAN L. M'CAUHEY. : J. WORTH H. S. PURDON. : Mrs. STRATTON W. J. QUINN. : Mrs. WORTH J. STRATTON. : Mrs. SHONE *Official Address* 29, High Street, Belfast. Date of formation, May 19th, 1890. During the past year meetings have been held in Belfast and vicinity, which were addressed by Messrs. Herron, Semple and Stratton. Mr. Semple also addressed meetings in different parts of the country, where be was lecturing and exhibiting lime light views. Owing to the removal of the Vegetarian Restaurant to more extensive premises, the monthly meetings were discontinued, as it was very difficult to get an audience, the frequenters of the Restaurant generally living out of the city. But every available opportunity of addressing Young Men's Societies, Bands of Hope, and Good Templars' Meetings was taken advantage of and Vegetarian literature distributed. The Irish Vegetarian Union will send lecturers to any meeting where they will be allowed to give information on Vegetarianism.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 856 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Ecuadorian Avocado Tomato Salad over White Rice](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/ecuadorian-avocado-tomato-salad-over-white-rice-1791418527_cfdad26c257f707472d1000f07a23e5b.jpg "Ecuadorian Avocado Tomato Salad over White Rice")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/ecuadorian-avocado-tomato-salad-over-white-rice.html "Ecuadorian Avocado Tomato Salad over White Rice") #### [Ecuadorian Avocado Tomato Salad over White Rice](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/ecuadorian-avocado-tomato-salad-over-white-rice.html "Ecuadorian Avocado Tomato Salad over White Rice") [Ecuador ](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/ecuador.html) [salads](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/salads.html) [Starters & side dishes](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/snack-side-dishes.html) [South America](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/south-america.html) -
