one of these things is not like the other

Dearest sushi place,

I do, in fact, enjoy your salmon rolls. They're fresh and tasty. However. In an order labeled 'vegetarian,' I wasn't expecting them to appear. Fish? Also counts as meat.

Sincerely,

Vee

Dear flist, tell me about that time you ordered food and it didn't quite work out right.

There was an italian recipe with some kind of...cini? but i wasn't pepperoni and the meat was listed as beef. I ate a bunch of the vegetable before I tried the pasta and reliazed the little sliced bits were in fact pork.It was so awkward. I hadn't ever heard or seen this pig product anywhere in my life and the waitress was like, "Uhh, yeah it contains pork. Didn't you see that woprd on the menu? It's like, right there."

Also got the taco salad from some place, and the ground beef had this like, creeper after flavor and it wasn't til I was like, really sick that I found out it was ground pork instead of beef because they ran out and decided to mix meats without telling people.

:/ Seriously, Hallal exists Anchorage. Stop pretending it doesn't.

Oddly, the pork thing happens ALL THE TIME up here. Even my roommates keep making accidental mistakes. "WE ORDERED PIZZA! WORRY NOT HOMIE!"

And I om nom nomed my way up half a slice before I noticed some pepperoni hidden under the veggies and what I had thought was ground beef but turned out to be sausage. *.*

I felt so sheepish when I called out for pizza and so did the roomie when I pointed out that pepperoni has pork. "Really?" and then the pizza guy gave us a cheerful lecture on how pepperoni is just the fermented meat and that it didn't need to be made of pork products to be- "Are you saying that Papa Johns stocks pepperoni made of non pork?" and he looked so crestfallen when he had to admit that they did not. Nor did any pizzaria he knew in the city.
