Cheese in yo food?!
Cheese in yo food?
have you ever gone out of your way to order a vegan dish at a restaurant, only to receive it with one little strand of cheese in it? this always happens to me! at this mexican restaurant, i ordered a wet burrito without cheese, meat, or the like. so i got it and it looked all fine after my initial inspection. i ate it and when i was almost done, i flipped over a piece of broccoli... and WHAM there was a golden strand of cheese! GRR, it was the only piece i saw. i always look at every bite. DO THEY DO THIS JUST TO SPITE ME?

Just goes to show i've been talking the truth for 12 months on this site.
No mixed food resturant serves vegetarian food. Its all cross-contaminated because the staff have no clue that its morally objectionable to mix cutlery, pans, pots and hands.
and further more, most chefs have no clue that veggies do not want stuff with slaughter by-products in it so they do not even consider vegetarian cheese for vegetarians, nor vegan cheese substitutes for vegans.
Fair enough, its up to them, but they shouldn't pretend they serve vegetarian food.
Its worth noting why they offer a vegetarian option in most resturants. Its not because they want the veggie custom. Its because the standards body states in thier compulsary basic standards that they have to offer at least one veggie option before they get any star rating. they do it because they have to, so have no clue about the morals nor how important it is.
I know this is true because we're a 4-star veggie/vegan place and regularly try to send veggies to lesser places all without success, including michelin starred resturants who really couldn't give a toss.
I suspect one day some rich and bored vegetarian will see them in court. Then trading standards will have to act.
