Or something cheesy.

"Vegetarian" (without further explanation) does not preclude eating
cheese.

There is no legal definition of 'vegetarian' which is the reason restaurants
can get away with murder. The one definition that has long-term validity is
that of the Vegetarian Society who coined the word in the first place. You'll
find food preparers and restaurants using their own logos to suggest the idea
of 'vegetarian' with varying degrees of concern (or non-concern) about the
meat or meat products included in the product or its preparation - not to
mention possible cross-contamination during cooking. As Mary suggests - the
only real answer is to DIY your food.

Cheese can be produced using rennet - a product derived from the slaughter of
an animal - or a vegetarian equivalent. Obviously only the latter can get the
'seal of approval' though there would be other considerations as well for the
VegSoc. Vegans (one step beyond vegetarian) won't eat cheese or any other
dairy products at all. Vegetarians - Vegetarian Society definition - are
choosy about dairy products; details on the VegSoc site at www.vegsoc.org
