Holier than thou vegans...
Discussion
So a news story popped up in my Google feed quoting the above. It's about a restaurant who take vegan food off their menu because of 'holier than thou' attitude.
vegans that I've come across all seem to share a similar entitlement and their attitude towards establishments who don't cater for their needs is appalling.
I imagine buying produce for vegans is vastly more expensive, more challenging to prepare and more difficult to leave the same satisfying taste as regular food, all for a tiny market.
So if I had a restaurant, is not want to cater for these either.

This is just someone inventing a person to be mad at.
Like, most vegans don’t have high expectations for choice at a restaurant so it shouldn’t be too much to ask to get one dish.
As for vegetarian restaurants doing a meat dish. Why would they, it would be like the chicken maryland on a chinese menu.

Haven't been to that one in a few years but it was always nice food and decent service.
Considering their area/plot on a busy seafront they could probably get away with half arsed servings and still make a decent take but I was pleasantly surprised the few times i have been.
Honest job adverts isn't a bad thing, if it's not for you then you don't apply, rather than a half dozen words that doesn't tell you what you'll be working, when you'll be working or how much you'll be working for so you have to go through the rigmarole just to find out.

Same could be said to you. Like, most vegans don’t have high expectations for choice at a restaurant so it shouldn’t be too much to ask to get one dish.

Why would go go to a steak restaurant or a fish restaurant and expect a vegetarian dish on the menu when you know what it specialises in ?

I'm about as far from a veggie as it's possible to be. I love to eat meat and I make my own charcuterie, such as Spanish-style black pudding (morcilla), pork rillettes, hams, chashu pork, and slow cooked lamb is a specialty of mine. I'm also well-known amongst my friends for producing unlikely offal dishes including the use of tripe, intestines, kidneys, hearts, brains, testicles, pigs' ears and my favourite of all, sweetbreads, my recipe for which lives somewhere on PH in the food and drink section.But I can completely see that having a few vegetarian options on a menu should not be much trouble for any restaurant. I have vegetarian friends and guess what, we like to eat out together. Why should vegetarians eat at places that only cater to vegetarians? It's not like vegetarian food is a cuisine. If we want to eat Chinese, or Italian, or Lebanese food for example, all those cuisines have a healthy tradition of both meat and vegetarian foods. I can see that if going somewhere like Gaucho Grill, you would expect that the menu is going to be pretty meat heavy, but they still have vegetarian options. How hard can it be?
