Has it happened to any of your vegetarian friends that while eating cake or cookies, they remember that they contain eggs? Now things that contain eggs can be identified. But what about those food items which were eaten and considered to be veg, but they turn out to be non-veg?
These foods are not such that you get an idea of non-veg after eating them and that's why many people probably eat them too. For example, there are some yogurts in which gelatin are used and you must know how it is made! Let us also tell you about some other such foods today, which may appear to be veg but are non-veg.
Vegetable Soup
When we go to any restaurant, we cannot live without ordering soup. It becomes very important in winter because it provides warmth to the body. But do you know that it can also be non-veg? Chicken broth is used to thicken some vegetable soups. For example, this is done in most restaurants with broccoli soup. So now next time you go to a restaurant, do confirm with them once before ordering soup.
Caesar salad
Have you ever tasted Caesar salad? Its dressing makes it look scrumptious and those who think it is veg are wrong. This is because anchovies are added to the traditional way of preparing it in large restaurants. Anchovies are a type of small fish, which also have a salty taste that makes them delicious. If till now you were eating it thinking it as veg, then you were eating non-veg.
Marshmallow
It is mainly used in baking. It is so soft that it starts opening as soon as it is kept in the mouth and hence its demand has also started increasing. Do you know how marshmallow is made? It consists of water, sugar and an aerator which is gelatin. The one which you were eating in cake thinking it as veg till now is non-veg only. Keep this in mind before eating the next child marshmallow.
Tortilla
You must have had tacos at Pizza Hut or in Domino's Tortilla Bread. You must have also enjoyed burritos etc. in one or the other restaurant. This is a type of bread that is eaten a lot in Mexico. Have you ever thought that it can also be non-veg? Well, not all tortillas are non-veg, but some are made from lard. Lard is an animal fat used in cooking.
Jelly
Remember those gummy bears we used to eat as kids? Jelly or Jell-O is still widely consumed and is also easily found in supermarkets. This flavoured jelly is not made from Orange, Strawberry, or Mango but it is made from Gelatin and the flavours are mixed. Gelatin is made from animal fat, so it is non-veg! Now think twice before including it in your grocery store.
Apart from this, many things can be non-veg while eating anything outside, you must pay attention to the ingredients written on the packets. If there is any doubt, then avoid it before eating it.
