I am a lacto/ovo vegetarian and try not to eat meat based broths or stuff with gelatin. Are these three things considered vegetarian? Just curious...

No, definately not! Sorry!

You can find vegetarian bullion cubes at most stores. Gelatin is a tough one, though. Kosher gelatin is not vegetarian, either. I once made the mistake of thinking it was. Turns out it just means it's not made out of pig parts.

p.s. - where in OH are you? We're in NW, PA.

I am in NE Ohio-Canton, Ohio to be exact!

I didn't think so about the broths and gelatin. I feel bad when my mom or in-law announces that some dish is vegetarian by anouncing, "I used broth-no meat!". I learned to eat before I go. I especailly love it when they watch my kids and tell me that my DS had TWO hot dogs! I suppy tofu dogs now. I have had HAIN's vegetarian gelatin. I had to go to my health food store to get it but if you are jonesin' for jello it is a perfect match! I love HAIN products. I had vegetarian gravy (maybe even vegan) that tasted exactly like brown gravy-my DH actually ate it!

My dad is from Johnstown, POa but I think that's...east/central???
