Dishes and other stuff you'll be bringing[edit]

When planning your dish, keep in mind that most of the ELS folks (and many of the guests) are vegetarian. As a result, if you can, we appreciate it if you try to keep things vegetarian.

Here's a full list with pictures from a previous Thanksgiving that shows how everything was vegetarian and almost every food item was vegan.

You can add items that you want to make and add your names by the items.

If anybody has allergies or other dietary restrictions (beyond simply being vegetarian), please note them here or email someone at ELS that you know.
