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.

This is confusing to me. Vegetarian: no fish. o___________o

I was in Japan on a trip in grade 10 and wasn't vegetarian but was the PICKIEST TEENAGER IN THE WORLD (like, I hated sushi. I didn't eat sushi the ENTIRE TIME I WAS IN ACTUAL JAPAN. I STILL REGRET THIS). So I stuck to rice and gyoza and veggie tempura.

One day I was starving and trying to identify what was in a white-looking tempura at a grocery store without being able to read the label, and it cost me the equivalent of like $15 so it was pretty expensive. My friends convinced me it MUST be potato and I took a big bite and it was MOTHERFUCKING SQUID. ALL RUBBERY AND WHITE. EUUUGGGHHHHH

LOL I would probably try squid now if I, y'know, WAS AWARE THAT IT WAS SQUID. But I guess that story was more about MY inability to identify things and less about someone giving me the wrong food, heh.
