    I know a great steakhouse with phenomenal vegan dishes, but like I let my friends know about the vegan quarter of the menu if they have diet restrictions that you would think precludes steakhouses.

    I’m not taking a vegan to Schmidt’s Palace of Meat if they don’t have a decent vegan menu. I think the only vegan thing they have is smoked corn.

    I know many people who have become vegetarian because of their partner

    My wife and I have specific diet restrictions. Mine is uncommon, hers is not. She gave up the foods that would force me to bleach the whole damn kitchen every fucking day if she kept some in the fridge. Her restriction doesn’t send her to the hospital but I give her the same respect she gives me and don’t eat those foods at home. Likewise she gets her [food that causes me to die] and I get my [food that makes her moderately ill] at restaurants. And we don’t bring those leftovers (if there are any) home. They go straight in the staff fridge at our respective workplaces. That’s just what we do though.

      I do quite intensely dislike going to restaurants being told oh it’s fine they have vegetarian options and the vegetarian option turns out to be salad.

      If anyone wanted me to go to a primarily meet-based restaurant and they did ostensibly have a vegan/vegetarian menu I’d want to look at it first, to confirm they actually have options other than all the vegetables on a plate.
