Well, there isn’t anything I have to say that hasn’t already been said. I am not a vegetarian who expects restaurants to cater to me. I did, however, once walk out of a restaurant that had previously had a vegetarian option which they then removed from the menu. I do not expect to be catered to any more than I imagine a kosher person expects to be catered to. I have noticed that restaurants tend to be inconvenienced when someone with dietary restrictions whether by choice or by need request a modification to a dish. I have a good friend who cannot eat dairy or eggs or else she will get violently ill. Well, cheese, eggs and butter lurk damn near everywhere. Is it unreasonable to expect a restaurant to modify a dish for her?
Also, @J0E, not all vegetarians are like that. In fact, most of the vegetarians I know, myself included, try to be as non-confrontational as possible about food choices. I catch a lot of hell for not eating meat for multiple reasons. If I go to a restaurant where there are a lot of meatless dishes, I can order one without it being strange or people asking me why I’m eating that. The vegetarian you know who expects restaurants to serve many veggie dishes is a complainer and an idiot. People with allergies don’t complain, we certainly have no right to.
On an unrelated note, my boyfriend always orders a meatless appetizer so that we can share. One time, the nachos came with bacon bits and he was heartbroken because I had been so excited about them. :)
