Pretty meh soup, by the way. Not worth the price… but I see the word ‘coconut’ and I can’t resist.

    Yeah you can’t trust vegan dishes in places that serve animal products if your life depends on it. They will absolutely serve you animal products and not give a damn. Just had a vegan brownie that tasted weirdly of milk powder send me to the toilet the whole day.

      As a vegetarian in the US, restaurants here have gotten way better about dietary restrictions over the years. Yes, some places still do mislead, but the vast majority usually ask you and the kitchen about ingredients and accommodate accordingly.

        Even if you’re just a vegetarian and not a vegan, it’s really hard to know if any cheese you might be eating was made with rennet, which often comes from calves. There is plant-based rennet, but the local pizza place probably won’t know whether its cheeses use that or not.

          That’s really good to know. I still think my statement stands true if you exclude cheese and wine, and it’s pretty easy to find vegetarian options for many common desserts.

        🤣🤣🤣 no we fucking haven’t. 100% of vegetarian dishes that taste better than most have chicken broth in it. There’s one dude who checks once per year and shit has all vegetarian ingredients that day but all the rest? 100% Nope.
