For those that don't know (and that's likely all of you), I work in a Room Service department of a major hotel in Milwaukee (3rd shift). I am completely vegan. Does this mean that I will not serve meat to someone who asks for it? No. I made my decision based on what was right for me. I do not force my viewpoint on others (at least at work). If someone asks me how something tastes I honestly tell them I don't eat meat and cannot give a recommendation.
OK, the groundwork is now laid for the story...
Last week I got a call from a woman and our conversation went something like this:
"Is the Caesar Salad vegetarian?"
"That depends on how you define vegetarian, ma'am."
Heavy sigh on the phone line. I continue.
"The salad does have egg and cheese in it, but it also contains anchovies in the dressing."
"Can you SEE the anchovies?"
"Well, ma'am, there are small bits that are in the dressing but I do not know if they are anchovies or something else."
Major annoyance fills her voice. Then she says...
"I don't care if they are in there as long as I can't see them!"
Soooo...apparently you can be vegetarian as long as you don't "see" the animal in the food?
