Do you have any exceptions?

    Is there anything you eat that is not strictly veggie, but you make an exception? I'm ok with having Caesar salad dressing or worchestershire sauce every once in a while, even though both have anchovies in them. I'm also ok with having marshmallows and white sugar occasionally, despite the bone meal.

    My local take and bake pizza shoppe has a gourment vegetarian pizza that has a garlic whitesauce on it. It contains a minute amount of egg.

    I found this out years after the fact. It's my favorite pizza. I buy one maybe every other month or so. (I prefer to make my own)

    I can live with a little sin. :)

    Maybe equal to a fraction of an egg over the course of a year.

    gelatin is my downfall, though i try to avoid it. I think the fact that the animal isn't directly killed for their hoofs, helps me to think its not so bad. so yeah, marsmallows, lollies.

    I'm a vegetarian, not vegan, but I do limit my intake of eggs (can't get rid of dairy though--I love cheese and ice-cream too much!).

    As far as exceptions go, I pretty much read the label on anything I take into my body and if it has animal products in it, I stay away. Very occasionally, I'll roast marshmallows with my family, even though I know they're made with gelatin, but I limit myself to only a few.

    One time, my mom made this pasta salad and she used caesar dressing on it. I ate it anyway because she had made the pasta salad specifically for me since I don't eat meat and the rest of my family was having a barbeque. So, as far as exceptions go...I don't eat caesar dressing anymore (and my mom knows not to buy it--haha), and I very rarely eat marshmallow or Jello (although I usually stay away anyway because I'm not a fan of processed food and I'm a health freak).

    This is sort of unrelated, but I had no idea that Caeser salad dressing had animal products in it. What's in it? Thanks for the heads up. :)

    anchovy. However, My sweetie works in food service (cooking in a small chain restaurant- he's a kitchen lifer because art does not always pay the bills) and he says that a LOT of restaurants are skipping the fish because of cost and allergy concerns, so always ask the server to bring a manager that knows the recipes/ suppliers.
    Honey is my exception, along with minute egg. I will always endeavor to avoid, but these two are Ok in a pinch.

    If only I could make sugar skulls without egg.

    The products i would be the least concerned about accidently eating or having to eat would be egg and honey too. I would absolutely never unless starving knowingly touch anything containing dairy products, and of course meat

    I do when it would be EXCEPTIONALLY rude for me to be make a big deal. Like, a German family invited me to dinner while I was visiting the country. I ate mostly vegetables, but was took a bit of the meat dishes. I think it would have been rude to make a big deal of my dietary restrictions, when they are not actually medical, especially since I don't speak German, and would not be able to explain very well. The woman was very proud of her cooking, and I wanted to be sure she would not take it as a slight.

    I think that is the biggest hardship in being a vegetarian~ trying not to be rude, or trying not make people unconfortable, especially when they are trying to be hospitable. So for that, I make exceptions (occuring probably twice a year). I know I'm not the best vegetarian in the world, but it is the best I personally can do.

    wow... i never knew that about caesar.... well i'll never eat THAT again...

    i'm a vegitarian not a vegan, so i eat eggs, cheese and some other milk products. but my only exception is that of mine and my bffl who is also a veg, he made me his "asian noodles" something he i assume made up and just called it that... the exception is oyster sauce and it's only because it's a bffl tradition so when we make them we appologise to the oysters:p

    I don't eat caesar dressing.
    I have the sprayable caesar dressing from Kraft, because it has no anchovi paste in it, but it doesn't taste like how caesar dressing should taste. It's okay though.

    I just became vegetarian like a week ago hahaha
    only because I found out the real truth about "free-range" farms, which was the only way I'd get meat.
    Unless I have proof that the animals are treated 100% humanely, then I will eat their meat.
    I guess you could say I'm a pescitarian... I eat seafood, and the places I eat the seafood from go out in boats each day and catch this stuff
    pretty much if the meat is being obtaned in a humane way, I'll eat it
    that includes hunting/fishing

    I don't eat gelatin or use leather, though.

    I'll eat meat if I know the person who raised and butchered it. True organic is fine with me.

    And if I'm starving...

    Ok, thanks for two swears in one sentence there, with no real need (no rant, etc)
    but the question was do YOU have exceptions (to your own codes)?
