# Not at all.
It's a restaurant. Why can't I have meat? Oh - because we don't do meat because it's bad m'kay - it's murder, actually.

I understand it's just free market capitalism, and it's their loss, which is, I suppose, a good thing to come out of it.

# So you expect a Thai restaurant to serve Italian food?
A veggie restaurant isn't all about meat being bad, its about vegetarian meals

A sane minded vegetarian wouldn't walk in to a restaurant called "only meat" and expect a non meat meal. Why should anyone expect the opposite?

# but that's often on the menu (sad state of curry house affairs)
You honestly believe that any restaurant should serve any food that isn't on the menu?

# A sad state of affairs why? The market's there - they're catering to it. Nothing sad about it at all.
Many restaurants do already serve any food you want/a whole range.

Of course - it's their right to serve only cornflakes if they want, but at least if you specialise in Italian or Indian or whatever its just because that's what you've specialised in, instead of being preachy or sanctimonious about it, which is what the essence of a vegetarian restaurant is.

# bollocks! :D
If you've been in a preachy restaurant that's because of crap staff.
The veggie restaurants I've been in are just places to eat with different food in to other restaurants, they don't come with a side order of opinions :D
It's just eating food of different flavours and textures in a restaurant, not joining a religious cult.
