JournalNow.com: Veggin' Out
Contrary to a popular stereotype, vegetarians are not all champions of self-denial, pathetically munching a sprout on the sidelines while watching the omnivores have all the culinary fun. Instead, the vegetarians we know love good food and know where to get it. They aren't about to settle for a bland meal, either at home or at a restaurant.

solitairieone, that’s a good point about how more of us bringing it to their attention could help them grasp the importance of keeping the meat far away from the veggie dishes in preparation. I know restaurant kitchens are often hectic, but details are important.
andy, while the chicken pieces were certainly unappetizing, I don’t think I’d say they were QUITE as bad as a used Band-Aid—at least, I hope they weren’t that unhygenic!!

A stray piece...ok, I can pick that out and put it to the side. More than that, it’s not a slip up, it’s culinary carelessness and should be brought to the attention of your server. I would politely, but firmly, ask for a new dish. If more of us vegetarians did that (again, politely!), I think our diet principles would be taken as seriously by others as we take them.

You paid for the meal, you should get exactly what you asked for. For me, finding chicken in a dish is no different than finding hair, or pieces of cutting board, or even - gross - a used band aid. Send it back and make them do it right.
