Instruction :
Do you have any dietary restrictions? If so, what are they.

Response:
Yes. I'm both kosher AND vegetarian. That mean simply getting kosher food that contains meat or fish won't be something I can eat. Likewise, a vegetarian entree from a regular restaurant also won't work as there are all sorts of problems that might ensure. These include: cross-contamination w/ utensils used to prepare meat or fish, inclusion of ingredients that appear vegetarian but aren't (e.g., cheese made with animal rennet or enzymes, pastries containing gelatin made from bones, natural colorants or flavorings derived from insects or animals, egg-substitute made from plasmolyzed fish blood, etc.). My own personal standard doesn't require certification by a kosher agency; but in general, I'll only eat at places that only serve vegan or vegetarian items (and from the latter, there may be items I can't eat).
