Comment on I just opened an overpriced can of fancy soup and on the label, along with the expected stuff like 'gluten-free' and 'GMO-free,' was 'mustard free' and 'celery free.' Is that a thing now?

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.

Someone’s life depends on it. I can’t understand other vegans who ostensibly understand it is a life and death concern, and then put that concern in the hands of a minimum wage fast food worker who doesn’t understand the significance of what they are doing.

  I was in Denmark just the other day. In a super popular local cafe. I asked if the pesto avocado sandwich ws vegan. She was puzzled: hm yes of course, there’s nothing in there that wouldn’t be… So I pressed: but is the pesto vegan? Normal pesto contains cheese. She went to check, and it was normal pesto.
  
  And FYI Denmark has great, free, education and social security. People also earn well, even the barista.
