I received some cheese in a food kit that was labelled as Vegetarian, but I misread it as Vegan so I didn’t bother eating it (I’ve had bad experiences with vegan cheese in the past).
I’d not seen cheese labelled vegetarian before which is probably what threw me off, but I didn’t even think that the rennet in cheese comes from cow stomachs, so having a vegetarian alternative to the rennet makes sense.
After realising my mistake I tried the vegetarian cheese the next time it showed up, and it tasted indistinguishable from other ‘normal’ cheese I’d had in the past.
My misreading and prejudice against what I thought was vegan cheese would have stopped me buying something that I liked. If it wasn’t marked as vegetarian I wouldn’t have even thought twice about eating it.
