Granted, they have fabulous vegetarian first courses and divine desserts, but the main courses are practically meat served with... eh, meat
That's one of the few things I remember about the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, where her fiance says he is vegetarian and won't eat meat, and the Greek mother says, "Then we will have lamb!" :^D
That's Americans, too, who could usually use a bit of biology education. Because people like to contest whether fish/clams/crabs/fill-in-the-blank are in fact meat, I often say that my vegetarian diet forbids eating animals.
At which point I get the blank stare: "But fish aren't animals!"
o.O
You are a kind friend, btw. I hope your veggie friends appreciate you because nothing is more annoying than when a group gets together and picks a place that has nothing Felak can eat. And I feel bad speaking up, like, "Guys, I know you like it there, but I kinda can't eat there. At all." Or I'll be ravenous, and they say, "Oh, you can have a salad!" Yeah, have you ever seen me eat when I'm hungry? Entire forests have been known to fall in my wake! That salad doesn't stand a chance! ;^D
