Did they ask you personally or via the form?
I usually fill out vegan, even tho I do eat cheese, bc interpretations of what
"vegetarian" means apparently vary wildly (mmm fish!) and usually
"vegan" is a safer bet.
- sometimes venue says they have a veggie option but its not actually veggie as prepped
(eg eastman house pasta dish cooked in chicken broth)
- sometimes it's unclear whether something that really obviously should be veggie is
(eg iirc potatoes at museum of play were not veggie bc of stock used ) so you eat it
assuming it is actually veggie (paying for it later)
- sometimes you have to ask for the veggie but its not always clear so you eat something
you'd rather not out of hunger (eg museum of play had veggie opts in the back and
noton display)
And sometimes people just are pains :) but other possibilities exist!
OK, given the constraints I think we should simply have a "Vegetarian"
boolean. We can make a note on the constraints in the site web pages
where we cover other logistics.
