I don't even understand the story - the server told them it was vegetarian soy sauce so they freaked out about the non-vegetarian soy sauce that they...didn't have? Am I missing something?
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 26 October 2012 20:29 (eleven years ago) link
they ate the non-veggie soy with their appetizers before the waitress came out with entrees and mentioned the veggie soy. but i had to read the whole thing slowly to figure that out.

I'm just cracking up that soy sauce made them sick

I mean, I'd get it if they ate like a gigantic plate of beef, but they ate some soy sauce made with fish sauce on vegetables.

I feel like any decent vegan/vegetarian worth his/her salt know that soy is often not vegan???
― quincie, Friday, 26 October 2012 20:42 (eleven years ago) link
Soy sauce, I mean. And worchestershire sauce, etc. I mean how about some A1 on your veggie burger?
― quincie, Friday, 26 October 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
or some gravy
― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Friday, 26 October 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS GRAVY HAS MEAT JUICE IN IT???
― quincie, Friday, 26 October 2012 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
I think the soy sauces you buy in the store are all vegan. Soy beans, wheat, water, salt, and the fermenting fungus.

ha, this is brilliant. i'm using this next time a vegetarian tells me they "felt sick" after they accidentally had a spoonful of baked beans that were cooked with bacon fat.

Nah, veggies can feel sick from eating stuff with meat. I imagine for a lot of them it's psychological, but I've known enough people who've become unused to eating certain foodstuffs who get sick on it that I think there is an inability to process after a while... not just vegetarians, either. Just general 'not had this before/for a while, ooh my stomach feels odd'.
On the other hand... I always thought that *all* soy sauce was fish-based, so it seems a bit odd to blame a restaurant for your own ignorance.
― emil.y, Saturday, 27 October 2012 00:14 (eleven years ago) link
leaving aside the case of food that would make anyone sick, i have no reason to believe any of the junk theorizing around "losing the ability to process" meat.
I was raised vegetarian and didn't taste meat until I was in my teens. If the ability to process flesh is acquired, I'd seem like a good case for someone who never acquired it in the first place, let along lost it.
But on the rare occasions when I have e.g. eaten a steak at a grandparent's birthday or accepted hospitality offered in good faith or gone native for a few months in a place where vegetarian food is hard to come by, I've never had a problem.
Disgust is not indigestion, and I suspect that a lot of vegetarians who "got sick" after eating meat would have been fine if no one had told them what was in the soy sauce.

― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Saturday, 27 October 2012 02:07 (eleven years ago) link
not "duh" that's too strong, I mean you are 100% correct and there is a lot of psychosomatic nonsense tied up in these physical reactions
that guy's reviews read like the onion articles where they make fun of contemporary poets.
i was referring specifically to folks who seem to have no reaction at all until someone tells them "btw there was bacon in that."

Hipster central. Awful techno music with no vocals or any sort of build (and I actually do like electronic dance music normally.) It's quite literally a basement. I guess the graffiti-ed walls and ceiling are kind of cool, but I kept looking around expecting to see a rat. They actually ran out of several of the drinks that were on special, even though it wasn't really packed.
That said, my friends and I had a great time, but it had pretty much nothing to do with what Medusa actually has to offer.

UH. MILKSHAKE. BROUGHT. ALL THE GIRLS. TO THE YARD. Yeah it was $5 but that caramelized hazelnut shake was the best thing ever.
VINCENT: Can I have a sip of that? I'd like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like.
MIA: Be my guest. You can use my straw, I don't have kooties.
VINCENT: Yeah, but maybe I do.
MIA: Kooties I can handle.
VINCENT: G&*@#n! That's a pretty f@#$%&n' good milk shake.
MIA: Told ya.
VINCENT: I don't know if it's worth five dollars, but it's pretty f@#$&n' good.

The security at this mall harasses and kicks out people for dressing differently. No explanation was provided for why a group of girls was kicked out; they were just shopping and placed some purchases before heading to the food court. However, they were dressed in an alternative Japanese fashion style. They were escorted to the exit with no reason given and even though they left without making a fuss one security guard harassed one of the girls, getting very close and in her face. She is now traumatized from this aggressive behavior and is seeking legal and psychological counsel. The security staff called the police, but since there was no crime committed the police officer did nothing. It is unclear why security acted in the manner, but I urge you not to support a mall that hires such unprofessional and rude security guards.

"Rude bartender, regulars charged different than others."
From a 1-star review of a dive bar. Textbook Yelp view, the idea that giving regulars a deal is a bad thing. DISCOUNTS SHOULD BE GROUPON BASED LIKE GOD INTENDED.
