Russell Brand Learns The Hard Way About Hidden Ingredients

Russell Brand learned the hard way how not asking for ingredients can turn a vegetarian’s meal sour. Or fishy.
The actor was sampling a dip while dining out when he realized it tasted like something formerly alive in the sea.
“About three days ago was the last time I ate an animal. I was in a restaurant and they have me some dips. One of them was taramosalata. I didn’t know and ate some and it tasted like disgusting fish,” Brand said.
“I said, ‘Can you stop giving me dead animals in my dinner please? I’m vegetarian.’ If that had happened to Morrissey he’d had smashed the joint up.”
Thank goodness, some places, like Panera Bread, for example, have an entire bible of ingredients at the front counter where customers can actually flip through the pages and see every ingredient that goes into a dish, even down to the mono and di-glycerides.
