They might seem to be the same thing but by meat free I really mean no flesh.
The reason why is because I watched a show the other day where three chefs were asked to make a veggie pasta dish.
All three used parmesan which is not vegetarian (they said parmesan and not a similar vegetarian hard cheese).
So to me that is not a vegetarian dish. Maybe veggie just mean no meat (flesh).
In the past other chefs have done the same. I remember Tony Tobin having to apologise for using Worcestershire Sauce (contains anchovies) in a vegetarian dish.
Anything with animal renet such as cheese and wine rules out being a vegetarian dish.
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are between the different terms of vegetarian, veggie or meat free.
