Also sometimes they will all order dishes to share then everyone will have a taste of my vegetarian dish and then have lots of helpings of the meat dishes leaving me with half a spring roll for dinner.
I don't need solutions since these are people I can't really say anything to. I just want to know if anyone else has experiences like this.Can you tell me of some times you have gone out to dinner as a vegetarian and its been a hassle.?
hmm i cant think of a particular time,but i live in the uk and theres always veggie options in restaurants, but my boyfriend's mum always rings up the restaurant before hand when we're planning on going out altogether, to ask if they do veggie options and what they are, i'm like 'there's no need, it's the law to hav veg options!' obv i dont wanna offend her but i feel like the other members of the family feel like im a burden cos she always makes a big fuss outta being veggie when theres really no need as i'm not a fussy eater either. she always reads the veggie things off the menu too when we're sitting there saying 'you could have this, or this etc'. i know she's trying to help but i've been veggie for about 14 yrs now!
oh yeh and i know what u mean bout meat eaters stealing ur food! at school we had a little party once and i brought veggie sausage rolls and everyone ate them, as well as the meat ones :(Can you tell me of some times you have gone out to dinner as a vegetarian and its been a hassle.?
haha im pretty sure that rant is spam, i've seen it before! but to ACTUALLY answer your question, i've never had anything like that happen to me, most people i run into a pretty decent about it. ahaha however, i DID get some dirty stares at a Cracker Barrel one time! XDCan you tell me of some times you have gone out to dinner as a vegetarian and its been a hassle.?
All the time! The worst was when I was with a friend and her mom, and her mom first dragged us into a hamburger joint, then loudly exclaimed, "Oh wait, I forgot you were vegetarian!" catching some random server and bothering him about veggie options (while we were waiting for a table still). Then when we sat down she kept looking over my shoulder at the menu and pointing out multiple (non)vegetarian options she thought would be great for me to eat (cheeseburgers, mozzarella sticks, fried shrimp, etc.). I then tried to order my drink (coffee) and she interrupted and told them not to put cream in it because "Cream is made from animals and she can't eat those. Can you put some non-animal cream in the coffee?" The poor server, trying to explain.
Finally (after eating our meal--I got a veggie burger) we left and upon exiting she declared that "This was the best vegetarian restaurant she'd ever eaten at!"
Very hard to be polite through all of that fiasco (my friend was laughing).
