  • Very funny. I enjoyed it very much. Faced similar scenarios in east,
    europe, lands (eng, scot, ire) and in US. I always take the safe path -
    run to the restaurant. With lot of effort, it is possible to order
    no-egg- vegetarian food.

    then that would mean only Salads and in france and switzerland they count fish as vegetarian!!
