Dra-ma

You know what sucks? When the sides of sauce with your vegan "eggrolls" from a vegetarian restaurant include fish extract. No apologies, Van Hanh Vegetarian, I just don't trust you now.

This happened a few weeks ago. I decided to pick up a to-go order of the rolls after a shopping trip at nearby Fubonn. Van Hanh is supposed to be 100% vegetarian, and I didn't notice the note until I was on my way home. I certainly haven't been back, and yes, it was just a side of sauce and 'just' extract, but who knows what else? It could have been in the rolls, or in the peanut sauce...
I couldn't bring myself to eat them and Tommy nervously ate them, not wanting to waste. I don't want anything else to do with this. It's funny because on my walk there, I was thinking about how I used to not actually understand the full concept of a vegetarian restaurant and was worried at the first one I went to. sigh.
