    I've always figured there was critter juice in my entrees!

    ugh, i try not to think about this too much because it's depressing. but good to know i suppose.

    I can vouch for this after going to a wedding and being served mac and cheese with bacon in after I asked what was veggie. I guess the bacon was chopped really small?!!!


    Along the same lines as a joke in a comedy show I used to watch 'its only wafer thin ham'

    Thanks for the link to veg restaurants! We dont have any in our small town but I'd like to try one. I'm not total vegetarian, but am cutting meat out a lot. Just found your blog and excited to follow it.

    That's one thing I have just decided to let go of. I mean I won't eat things with meat in them, but I'm also not going to watch over the cook and demand clean utensils and a separate cooking surface.


    When we went to Flat Top Grill, you can put a little stick thing in your ingredients saying that you are vegetarian and they cook it on a separate flat top.

    I bet you are right and I presume that most people do not give it a second thought. Especially the restaurant workers themselves unless they are vegetarians. I bet the same for gluten and other allergies.

    So true! Like veggievixen, i try not to think about it...if i did, eating out would be really difficult in a place like Paris! But of course, i eagerly search for all-veg restaurants, and hope to open my own sometime!

    And if you want to go whole turnip and eat at the best vegan restaurant in San Francisco, go to Millennium. Yum!

    Some restaurants are very accomodating and have great veggie options - especially in San Francisco - I order meatless items but I agree, you can't always get everything exactly the way you want it...gotta let go a little....
