omg meredith. i would have died. puke. im so sorry for u.

thank god thats never happened to me. i honestly dont know what id do.

mutter is peas tho. i guess the waiter didnt understand. but the same thing used to happen to me every morning at blue sky in kolkata, when i would order cheese toast. the waiter would bring me egg cheese toast (we dont eat eggs either) when i was really ordering EK cheese toast -or one cheese toast. he didnt realize that i was speaking to him in hindi (i usually always speak hindi in india) and thats how he got it wrong. he should have realized it tho, since we were arguing in hindi as well....

lol- ahhhh good times in india....

again im sorry for that horrible experience.

i hope u ordered a nice mattar paneer to overcome the meat! or maybe they comped the meal ;)

hehe

Yikes! What a mix up!

Our whole family is veg and Tamil Brahmins to boot so that means no garlic or onions either. We tend to eat at home mostly or stick to strictly veg places that we know are clean and good. Saravana Bhavan is one such establishment.

In Hindi the word for vegetarian is SHAKAHAARI. Perhaps, that might help, at least in North Indian places.
