This ALMOST happened to me tonight! I went to a vegetarian restraunt with my girlfriend for a supper before movie, and we truely did not like the sound of anything on the menu! We were scared to order anything! and I love health food! but the veggie burgers had walnuts in them, the salads had nuts and apples and mint in them, there was something wrong with every dish. we settled on 2 appetizers, egg rolls (which were cold cuz they don't deep fry anything so they were in those see though skin things) and thai something- a safe chopped up cold vegatable dish. BUT had we ordered ANYTHING else! I don't know what we'd have done! My mother sent things back sternly but politely throughout my childhood and I was always embarressed. Don't know if I could do it! So check the Helouise Hints website on this one!
