Yes, and it's so particularly hard to eat in restaurants.  Unless they think you

are asking ingredients because they think you are allergic I think for the most

part they generally don't care.

 

We were taken out to eat a few months ago to a barbecue place in Texas.  There

was absolutely nothing on the menu I could eat.  I had ice tea and everyone gave

me the pickles on their plates.  I had asked if they had salad to which they

said yes and I got potato salad, of course with mayonaize, and I don't eat eggs.

 

I just have learned to adapt.  We will be going to a get together this upcoming

week and they started planning the meal - ok, who will bring the hotdogs?  My

husband just looks over at me, and I just say I'll bring my own food.  The way I

look at it I have to fit into the rest of the world.  We have relatives who

don't eat pork, and now, I look back on my pre-vegetarian days and remember

making baked beans.  It teaches you not to judge and just go with the flow. I

now try to be considerate of anyone's food choices or preferences, whether it be

because of allergies, diabetes, religious, etc.
