Non Veggie "veggie food"

bohsman

Having worked in Burger King and Supermacs I can tell you that in Supermacs chances are the veggie burgers have been done in the same oil as fish whereas in Burger King the veggie burgers should be ok as theyre microwaved but the beanburgers and chips are done in the same oil as chicken

Any other products that should be ok but arent?

We used to put all sorts of crap into the 'veggie' food part of the deli at work.
Veggie pizza made to order with ham mixed in under the cheese.

How hi-larious. You should talk to RTE Two about getting your own amusing Monday night comedy programme.

The real kick in the teeth is Soya. Most of it contains GMO Soya ,and I reckon many vegetarians would rather something organic given the choice.

And I've seen things labelled as "suitable for Vegetarians" even though they contains egg.

Really? I've had the bean burger a few times, and noticed that it was microwaved (not fried). Even heard the microwave beep when it was ready! Unless it was fried earlier and then just re-heated on request?

The veggie burgers are microwaved, unless theyve changed the beanburgers recently but it would be impossible to reheat them after taking them out of the oil, the fryers make a similar but louder beeping than microwaves

Ah, feck

You missed the master class on vegetarianism and are bitter about it am I right?

You're right on the humour thing though, all those hindus, not even a giggle I tell you.

There are many so called 'obviously vegetarian' products that actually have hidden animal produts/byproducts in them. For example, Heinz tomato ketchup at my last check was not suitable for a vegetarian diet, something that could possibly have been recently changed. Also a big factor that usually catches vegetarians out are E numbers, many food colourings, preservatives, stabilisers etc. contain non-vegetarian products. Certain wines contain a fish byproduct, which is rarely labeled on the bottle. If you are looking for wine, I would recomend Tesco & Marks & spencers as they clearly label wine which vegies can drink. These are just a few things that make the life of veggies rather difficult & if food manufactuers have the decency to clearly label products for us, the least we can do is appreciate it.
