Broke vegetarianism?!
Broke vegetarianism?
I've been a vegetarian for three years and recently i have been in texas and went into a restaurant called taco cabana. i was told that the black bean burrito was vegetarian so i ordered it, but after i ate it when i did some research online i found out that the rice in it had chicken stock. What do you think?
Answers:
Think about what? I learned a long time ago that most people that are not vegetarians dont count broth as meat. This happens in Chinese restaurants alot as well.
I think it is amazing that you see this as a concern!
Yes. You did break it. You should contact the manager about the situation. Stock is NOT VEGETARIAN.
I've worked in restaurants for 20 years, you wouldnt beeeelieve what contains "stock". Hate to break it to you, but cream of broccoli, asparagus, potato soups pretty much always have chicken stock in it. But I'm talking about a DRY POWDER here, its a tiny bit for flavor. I dont think you could dream of counting it as an animal.
Wow, just read the label of chicken stock. The ELEVENTH ingredient is chicken powder.
yes, but do not worry. It has probley happened before with out your knowledge. Be more careful next time.
It does happen to most of Us... Don't worry about it. It does matter that you dont go to the story and buy meat or that you don't order meat. Next time try telling them that you are allergic...trust me they would pay attention.
I am a vegan, and I am starting to say that I am allergic to dairy product (in particular to butter) because they think is not such a big deal and they just want to take the order and don't care about you.
So try that, I know you are lying and thats not the way it should work; but at least they will pay attention to you
You know, I had something similar happen to me, only the "mistake" thankfully, was very obvious.
A while back while overseas we were having breakfast at the hotel and everything seemed to have fish in it. They had banana leaves stuffed with rice. I asked the waitress if it had fish in it and she said no. So I explained, "I don't eat fish. At all. I am allergic to it and could die." She smiles and says no fish. Well, what do you think I found when I opened up the banana leaves. Yep. 3 little fishies resting on a bed of rice...
Sadly, there are times when things like that happen. I try to be very careful, but every time I eat out I consider the fact that I will possibly be eating something that I don't want in my body.
Usually the wait staff just doesn't know what goes into a dish, and if they don't eat the same way we do, they might not even consider that the broth is from chicken or that fish are meat ...that vegetarian goes beyond the obvious steak or a burger.
Accidents happen. Scrape your shoe and move on.
Don't beat yourself up. Live and learn. Yadayadayada
well its not such a bad thing what you need to do is if you still want to carry on as a veggie then keep it going !it was an honest mistake !
