Odd that they go to the length of actually proclaiming it vegetarian. It is not imitation tuna, I asked – it’s regular fish. I was browsing to see if the place had anything for a vegetarian.
You should ask them what plant their ‘tuna fish’ comes from

If I had to guess, their cheese isn’t vegetarian either.

so many people don’t see fish as meat… are they dumb or intentionally ignorant?

Christian vegetarianism…. It goes so far that apparently there was a time when the Catholic Church taught that Beaver was a kind of fish.

A chickpea “tuna” melt on the other hand…yum.

Also the Portuguese has nothing to do with Portugal.

I had that same issue at a work event a few months ago. They sent out surveys ahead of time to ask about dietary restrictions or preferences, and I checked off “vegetarian”, super happy that they were doing this.
When I get there, all the vegetarian options except for salad had fish. Real fish, not fake, either. I asked to speak to the manager (politely, I didn’t go all Karen or anything) and let him know that there head been a mistake made somewhere, as fish wasn’t vegetarian. But for the whole first day I only ate salad and bread, as we couldn’t leave the training location on foot (very isolated) and I had hitched a ride with a coworker, so 😭
There were a few more options the next two days, so they did listen somewhat, even if they were still labeling fish dishes as ‘vegetarian’.

We are probably neighbors. Tip off: The word Portuguese on the menu. Nothing vegetarian about that menu.

I once was invited to a restaurant called Catfish Cabin II (that’s right – as in the second catfish cabin) – also of note I wasn’t a vegetarian then, but am now. But my wife has been a lifelong vegetarian. Anyhow, when the waitress came to the table – the convo went a little like this:
Wife: hello, do you have anything one the menu that isn’t meat? I’m a vegetarian.
Waitress: well…we have chicken, do you eat chicken?
Wife (with grace): well, chicken is actually a meat, so no. I don’t eat chicken.
Waitress: ok…hmm well – we have fish…
Wife (losing a little patience): yeah, that’s still meat…basically anything with eyes, I don’t eat.
Waitress: hmm…well, what about a salad?
—————-
And that’s when I realized how tough my wife had it. This was like 15 years ago. It’s gotten better, but some places still just DON’T get it – lol. Now we just decline to attend places like that 🤣

$17+ for a sandwich is already outrageous. That would’ve been enough for me to look the other way.

A lot of it (at least in the West) goes back to Catholicism.
In Catholicism, prior to Vatican II (mid-20th century), every Friday people fasted from “meat” (which included mammals and birds).
Fish, however, were exempt.
So many people, especially Catholics or people brought up in Catholic culture don’t think of fish as being “meat”. Because in the Church’s teachings when it came to fasting purposes, it’s not.
Nowadays (post-Vatican II), Catholics usually only ‘fast’ on Friday during Lent with the exception being in some strict monasteries.

I think it’s the “no meat on Fridays”/Catholic version of vegetarian: pescatarian.
pepper701 on
Pescatarian is the word they’re looking for… fish is meat. End of story. If you eat fish, you are not vegetarian….

The portuguese option!???? Que é esta merda caralho?

What the fuck are these prices? That’s insane for a sandwich. Wow (not from the usa) is this the norm?

When I was 14 I went veg and I told the doctor about it and he said I could eat fish, I said no fish doesn’t grow from the ground, it’s not a plant. I still remember the awkward silence after that 😂

Ugh. I see this a lot too. Just a few days ago I saw: “Vegetarian. Seafood with…” like what????

People assume I eat fish too! I tell them, if it was alive, I don’t want it.

Some people think fish is not meat fyi. Idk why but I just learn to live with those idiots

Ffs. It’s really, really not hard to understand the difference between pescetarian, vegetarian, and vegan.

They also use the cheapest, fakest cheese imaginable on everything by default and charge people $17. If I wanted a nicer cheese, if they even have it, I would have to pay extra.

The Portuguese also isn’t anything remotely Portuguese.
