People keep giving me steak house gift cards.

I'm a vegetarian. I can only eat a roll there.

I’m vegan and the number of people who can’t figure out “no animal products” is astounding. I’m so tired of “no eggs? No dairy?” like yes bitch, I don’t fuck with animals.

People act like it’s rocket science.

How could I forget? It always blows people’s minds that I don’t eat fish, but before I was vegan I never liked fish anyway but no one had a problem with it until I went vegan.

To be fair, the person you're responded to said "vegetarian" not "vegan." But yes, otherwise, it isn't rocket science. My vegan boys are big fans of seitan.

Either way, a Steak House is probably not a place they're interested in.

Maybe they have impossible steak!

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 5 points 7 hours ago

Right. I guess people mix up the two a lot so for me it’s just easier to say “no animal products” plainly.

I'm vegan, and my agency gave me a gift card to Zaxby's, and it wasn't even loaded

Are you full vegan or just vegetarian?

If it's for Ouback Steakhouse, you could always have a Bloomin Onion if you're okay with eggs and milk.

But otherwise, yeah, not much else on the menu for ya.

[–] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 4 points 3 hours ago

Vegetarian but I may as well be vegan since my stomach can't handle eggs or much dairy.

Don't forget salad. Outback is largely one of the worst if you're vegetarian unfortunately. Most steakhouses at least have a few vegetable sides and can make a meal out of them.

Perhaps that's why, to annoy you.
