>more indian stuff (and some chinese)

>On the same theme, also watch out for biryanis which can have yoghurt in

the rice. Also some restaurants will use mainly vegetable ghee, but will

use butter for a few dishes, usually (I've found) sag bhajee or sag aloo (I

guess they think spinach needs an extra kick).

The major thing here is *never* to ask your hosts something like " is this

dish free of dairy products? " . 99% of the time they will nod sagely, look

you in the eye and say " yes ofcourse! " . Claiming your allergic to dairy

products and would die horribly if you ingest even 1 nanogram is a good way

to get them to tell you the truth.

Glad you said this. Totally agree. It's a subtle point for some people

though. The real point ofcourse is to make a difference in the world and

the lives of non humans by effecting the industry etc and peoples opinions,

not to feel pure.
