Hmm, as a lifelong vegetarian, I guess I haven't noticed (or possibly cared about) any vegan scorn, but I don't have any problem eating the dishes on the menu marked V-for-Vegan, so in general the trend seems fine to me (with the possible exception of vegan cheeses, which are not very tasty, but worse, not very nutritious either; and fake meats, which are sometimes nutritious but I just find odd).
- jghn 4y agoI think the menu trend makes sense. "Vegetarian" has so many permutations that I think it'd be hard for a restaurant to mark a dish that way. "Vegan" has a much more well defined definition.
- cool_dude85 4y agoI don't think anyone would look at a menu item marked vegetarian and expect anything else than it not containing meat. People say they're vegetarian but eat fish sometimes, etc. but it's different for an actual meal. Nobody would call fried fish a vegetarian meal.
- zarzavat 4y agoIf it were in an Indian restaurant you would expect the vegetarian option to also not contain eggs, as eggs are considered meat for many Hindus. On the other hand, in a Thai restaurant the vegetarian option might contain shrimp paste.
