Mistakes get made in restaurants. Who hasn't been given the wrong food at some point?
They apologised and replaced her meal. No more or less than you'd expect. To then go to the newspaper is a cunt's trick.
Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

Not really. It happens all the time.
If it's that serious for her, she should either check what she's eating before she puts it in her mouth or stick to restaurants who's output is not 90% meat related.

I'm in agreement on this one. Avoid places like McDonalds, Burger King, KFC, or Angus Steakhouse if you're a veggie.

Ideally yes, but some folks apparently like that kind of stuff.

I'm not anticipating eating out much when I move to France - even as a seagan (vegan plus fish) - though dairy intolerance is probably fairly widely accepted.

That's bollocks, isn't it?

I worked in Paris for 10 months back in 2007/8 and hardly ate out, apart from a few team meals and leaving do's. At that time, regular restaurants simply didn't get it at all and in my experience were not very veg friendly at all.
I found the Happy Cow webisite quite useful back in those days when I needed to find places that were veg friendly in Europe. I imagine that it's a lot easier nowadays.

Nope.
I was vegan for 20 years, then deviated into fish, cheese and eggs - I'm currently vegan.
My main priority is health and I can just about justify oily fish as a healthy source of Omega3, B12 and D - omega 3 especially is a challenge on a vegan diet.
There is also what I'm prepared to catch and kill myself - which is only fish - I've done it 3 times now - two pollack and a mackerel - and even then I may find I can't do it when I try fishing again after a 12 year break.
To be honest I have more problem with the bait.
I probably won't eat fish again until I'm able to catch it myself - and not until my weight is back to where it should be.

You really don't sound like a vegan to me.

gg's working out a system that works for him. Doesn't really matter what you call it.

It's simply that I want no part of the dairy and meat industry for a variety of reasons - including moral.
... or for that matter, fish that are hauled out of the sea and allowed to die of asphyxiation - or worse.

Isn't it funny how quickly people jump in with the mockery trying to discredit and pick holes in whatever they don't like with jibes and sneers.
I'm not a fish eater now but I was 20 years ago when I considered myself "vegetarian" and used to have "filet-o-fish" at McDonalds as a student (the shame). I now don't believe that there's anything I need from fish that can't be got from other sources that are less damaging to the environment, however I'm not going to knock those who continue to do so.

I still eat fish because my little boy likes it, and till he's old enough to decide for himself that vegetarianism is for him, he gets access to everything** as and when he wants it. Even peperoni pizza, which he loves (and I won't eat)
**edit to add: within reason, obvs. For example, I'm more concerned with his sugar consumption than with his animal consumption.

Good luck to him if that's what he wants to eat, but to call it "vegan plus fish" is nonsense.
I'm a megan. That's vegan plus meat.

But, snails are something you can catch & kill yourself.

I know.
And I reminded one of my regular snails of that yesterday when I found him on my broccoli in the middle of the room.

Seriously, I really don't understand the terminology fixation. You can call yourself whatever you like, it's nobody else's business. If you want to call yourself a sealion or whatever, so be it. Some people have nothing better to do.
Good point. I don't know why we even bother having definitions for words. People should just be able to make any sound they want and for it to mean what they like. No one elses business.

If gg wants to call himself a seagan and feels it accurately describes his choices, then yes, that is his business and nobody else's. Language is dynamic constantly evolving, new words and terms come into fashion and some words go off the radar. Seagan has nearly 60,000 results in google and so is a legit word, which gg is free to use and should not be mocked for using it imo.
