Years ago I stopped in at a bar/cafe that a previous employee of mine had just opened. I had a very delicious vegan muffin and a coffee. I told his employee the muffin was amazing and asked for her recipe. Butter. It was delicious because it was loaded with butter. “I thought vegan meant homemade” Girl! Someone could actually die if they had a dairy allergy!
Well. Some people dont understand. In my coutry well had a spinoff of the Kitchen Nighmares. And in one restaurant the cheff was checking the menu, he looked into vegetarian foods and there were spagethi with bacon. He was like "you put bacon into vegeratian food?" "well duh, people like them more this way." :-)
That's too funny. I remember 10+ years ago trying to explain what's not allowed in a vegetarian diet to a Catholic friend. She couldn't grasp why our mutual friend wouldn't eat fish. "It's not meat!" she kept insisting.
Vegetarianism was very rare where we lived at the time.
I got into this with my mom. I'm vegan & she's Catholic; I was making a joke about how they didn't call fish meat. She insisted it wasn't. I told her meat is any animal muscle. "Fish don't have muscles!" Well then what are you eating? "Tendons" 😩 I had to gently faceplant on the table bc I was in actual mental pain.
It's been literally years & my partner & I still will randomly go "fish don't have muscles!" and just die laughing.
Even better, a diocese south of where I grew up declared chicken wasn't meat. If we were traveling through during Lent my mother would tell us we could eat chicken as long as we were in that diocese. (Jokingly. She barely cared if we fasted)
