During a recent trip around the world, I spent a day visiting Universal Studios, Hollywood with three friends of mine. By early afternoon, we were tired out and scoured our map for the most vegetarian restaurant we could find. On entering, we were delighted to see a buffet-style line with a variety of salads, pasta and pizza.
The girl at the counter filled up our plates with pasta once she’d let us know, none too confidently, that it didn’t contain eggs.
Then the fun really started.
“Do you know if there’s animal rennet in the cheese?” My friend Janmastami asked.
