Cultural Tip
In Brazil, the word 'vegano/vegana' is widely understood, but many people also use 'vegetariano' loosely for plant‑based dishes. When speaking to older generations, you might hear 'sem carne' (without meat) instead of 'vegano'. Using 'totalmente' or 'completamente' adds a stronger guarantee, which is appreciated in vegan communities that are careful about hidden animal products like gelatin or honey.
