[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pescatarian so not a vegetarian (so I don’t avoid fish sauce or worchestshire or Caesar) but do avoid chicken stock and gelatin. Another thing I avoid is refried beans made w lard (I only eat vegetarian refried beans). I know avoiding lard seems obvious but my in laws recently made refried beans assuming I’d eat it and were surprised when I asked if they were vegetarian beans so not something everyone necessarily considers.[/quote]

Oh also boxed cake mixes often have lard in them in case you didn’t know.[/quote]

Really?[/quote]
Yeah Ive never heard that either... All betty crocker box cake mixes are actually vegan. They tell you to add eggs and milk (which vegans can sub/adjust for), but the ingredients in the box do not contain animal products. [/quote]
Correcting myself, because not all are vegan, like the angelfood mix has egg whites. But most are, and I'd be shocked if any of the mainstream boxes had lard. [/quote]

The WORST is menus who mark things as vegetarian but it seems to be incomplete.  For example, California Pizza Kitchen. Why is every section marked except the pastas?  Is the Buffalo Cauliflower vegetarian?  The corn?  The tomato soup?  Then you ask them and they say "yeah it's vegetarian" but you can't trust them...

I had to stop eating spinach artichoke dip because it is sometimes made with chicken stock, that was a sad day.[/quote]
