Good Dining in Anaheim?

Yes, that's why I don't walk around saying "ova-lacto-pesca-vegetarian." That is exactly what I am, but I in public I'd say "I'll eat seafood tonight" or "do they have vegetarian entrees"? By no means am I strictly vegetarian - but I tend nearly (mostly) that way and it's a lot easier to say "vegetarian" sometimes, even if it's only an aspect of my eating habits. Because putting a simple and clear label out makes it easier for me, and make it less likely that someone say "oh, I know you eat fish, and that's animal protein, so I made a nice beef chili tonight."

Or we send our hosts, when they ask, a clearly defined list of our household's dietary requirements. And since Tom is a vegan who cannot eat protein... they're extensive. But neither of us use any sort of labels at restaurants. If you've eaten with us, all you've probably seen is "is there cheese in that?"
