I organised a lunch for my workplace, and I had a confirmed Vegan and a confirmed Vegetarian who told me she's "trying to be Vegan" - so I asked the restaurant for two VEGAN meals and they said they would comply. However, the restaurant made them risotto with vegetables but added parmesan cheese throughout the rice. I was annoyed because I thought Vegans could not eat cheese of any sort and thought the restaurant should have known this, or at least checked first.
The funny thing was, the Vegan man ate it all up and didn't mind at all (and he's usually REALLY strict with food), but the Vegetarian who DOES usually eat eggs and cheese, but decided two days beforehand she was going to become Vegan made a huge fuss and song and dance until the restaurant cooked her another meal.
So, I am confused - can you describe a Vegan's diet to me and is it correct that they do not eat any animal product? Thanks!
