    1. This is deeply important over there.

      Many people in India live completely vegetarian diets for religious/cultural reasons, especially around the Hindus.

      It’s not like western “Ohhh am so VEGANNNN~~~”, it is deeply important to them, where preparation of food is strictly controlled.

      Like just eating a vegetarian dish prepared on the same surface that produced a meat dish is a level 9000 sin to them.

    2. Vegetarianism is highly politicised in India right now. People have been killed because religious mobs imagined that they were carrying meat. It is also tied into notions of soul purity by religion. This statement makes sense but I’m also worried for the owners.

    3. Vegan story

      Recently I was having dinner with a vegan friend. In our culture is common to share dishes and use your fork to take food from the shared dishes. I used my fork to take a piece of meat from my dish. Then I used my fork to take a fry that was standing alone on a shared plate. He told me he preferred that I rather don’t take anything at all from a plate we are sharing with that fork because it was on meat, and that is cross contamination.

      I did as he said, but I can’t help but to find that particularly interesting…
