    About two weeks ago I went out with some friends drinking! I got so sloshed i don't even remamber most of the night! But we went to Taco Bell on the way home and i ended up eating one of my friends tacos with meet on it! I mean I literally haven't touched meet since I became a vegetarian 4 years ago! So it just sucks that it happened! and i feel really bad and sick over it! Has this happened to anyone else? Let me know it'll make me feel better!!

    Man, I went to Taco Bell a few weeks ago (for lunch with work, since we travel around an hour and a half to and from turf every day, we don't get much choice where we can eat), and I ordered two completely plain bean burritos. I even asked the guy what was on it, he said, just beans.

    Turns out there was cheese in them too, the fucker didn't tell me. I ended up getting pretty sick over it and pissed, and I demanded that they put a little asterisk on their menu that says "all burritos made with cheese" because it should be ILLEGAL for them to fail to tell people that a product which people are allergic to is in their food.

    UGH! Yeah, I'd complain. It IS illegal to fail to mention an allergen!

    Try their 7-layer burrito. You can get it without the cheese & sour cream and unless I'm missing a hidden ingredient, that makes it vegan. But it's lactose free then so it shouldn't make you sick. And if you put a couple of their fire sauce packets into it, it is sooooo good :)
    love,
    mom

    well one night last summer i got pretty drunk with my buddy and did the same with pizza. Luckily i only had one bite and was able to get over it pretty quickly. i understand how you feel, but don't worry. Just remember it's not like it was deliberate- you honestly didn't know. It's not like you suddenly gave up being vegetarian and started eating meat for a long period of time and are now realizing your mistake. That's something i could see feeling grief and guilt over, but it's not worth it over something that was accidental.

    and let's be honest, this probably wont be your last slip up. I'm sure it happens to a lot of us without us having a clue.

    and as I told Lucy in that thread: this is why you don't get trashed!

    Hikky: order the burritos fresco style but have them add the red or green sauce back on.
