   Attempt to order take out this evening. My options included:
   Vegan Chicken Curry
   Soy-based vegan chicken curry with onions, carrots, broccoli and mixed pappers.
   Or
   Vegan Chicken Chow Mein
   Vegan Chicken Rice

   Um... is this Vegan or Not Vegan?? Help??

     @Antiqueight I suspect you're getting vegan faux meat in all those options. I'm not a big fan of faux meat (would rather eat vegan/vegetarian food that tasted of vegan/vegetarian things), but any port in a storm.

     @IanMoore3000 I too do not chose things with faux meat - which is why I am eating from a different place... But also, it didn't SAY that there was faux meat etc...

     @WearsHats Ah... I did not know that. I 100% do not want faux meat.

     I don't know what the norm is over there, but around here when they say "Vegan [meat] dish," they 100% mean faux meat. The vegan modifier is supposed to make that clear.

     @WearsHats I would be with him on that - you put pork on the menu, I assume there is pork on the menu. I don't want faux meat but at least CALL it faux meat (of whatever variety it is).

     @Antiqueight The problem is they don't specify what kind of faux meat it is. Lab-grown? Powdered bean slurry? Tofu cubes cooked in the style of chicken?

     20 years ago, my sister had her graduation party at a vegan Chinese restaurant just so my grandfather would be able to attend. He saw "pork" on the menu and said "I'll have a salad." We explained it wasn't really pork, and showed him the seal on the menu, but it wasn't until the chef came out with the Kosher certification that he would eat.
