You do realise the cross contamination is to protect the company against customers with allergies?
I do want to hear what they have to say. That is why I wrote to them.
I wrote to them after speaking to the manager yesterday. This morning I did a bit more investigatiing and found their lack of control procedures on their website, so after I had already written to them. Of course I am very interested to hear what the head office has to say though.
The fact they already say on their website there will be cross contamination doesn't give me much hope, mind.
I like their pizzas, so of course am very interested in what they have to say.
No. You mean they deliberately do it to protect themselves against legal action?You do realise the cross contamination is to protect the company against customers with allergies?
No. You mean they deliberately do it to protect themselves against legal action?
Yeah, get all that and I am not the type to complain. I just accept things for what they are usually, but it just seems that Domino's deliberately have no procedures in place at all, whereas most restaurants do at least try their best.Its a phrase to show that companies are will strive to ensure there are no cross contaminated products but cannot ensure it in most cases
I would assume its a franchise anyway so Head Office is a bit pointless. I would be very surprised if the policy they are supposed to follow is as you have stated though as they are supposed to wear gloves or wash hands
In the end though its unrealistic to not have some form of meat to vegetarian risk of contamination. If you have a grilled veg burger has it just had a beef burger on it before you? In all probability yes
Yep. Not great.Apparently there’s a vegan restaurant in the Fargo village. Anyone tried it?
Yep. Not great.
Had a hot dog there yesterday. It was okay, but just a Linda McCartney sausage on a bun and the tiniest bit of onion ever. Had to search for it to be honest as I thought they missed it off.
Okay, but I can just have that at home.
My missus tried a vegan cake and hated it. That was from the coffee house though, not the vegan cafe.
Busy there yesterday at Fargo.
Best go when something is on. Popped in the brewery and that can accommodate quite a lot of people.That’s disappointing. Thinking of giving it a try over the weekend. Might go anyway as I’m yet to go to FarGo village.
Domino's just got back to me and said they will put my points to their operations.
I can't believe no-one has ever mentioned this issue before.
They also said they try to avoid cross contamination. Thing is though, they seemingly don't. Pizza Express explained how they keep everything seperate and use seperate spoons for each topping, whereas Domino's just stick their hands into each container, be it meat or vegetable and cross contaminate every container.
Clearly one is a lot more stringent and thorough in their control than the other. The other is no control at all really.
Yeah, fair point. That's why I also wrote to Pizza Hut and Papa John's too. Still waiting for a response.Their terms actually state that they don’t wear gloves as you don’t in a restaurant but they wash hands at regular intervals.
They do also say you should inform them that you are vegetarian in advance and they will prepare accordingly
To be honest the comparison with pizza express is a bit unfair isn’t it? Dominoes are just take away joints aren’t they? If you go to McDonald’s as a strict vegetarian you are taking chances really.
pescatarians actually have a negative water footprint, as the more fish they eat, the more room there is in the sea for water. Well done.
Nah! They mix well with Geminis and Taureans though!I always thought Pescatarians were one of the baddies in Doctor Who.
Are there any vegetarian butchers? Just a thought...…...
I know a vegetarian shop that used to be next door to a butchers.Are there any vegetarian butchers? Just a thought...…...
Pizza Hut replied and say they wash their hands after handling each ingredient every time.
I doubt that very much!
I nipped into my new local at lunchtime and wanted a pint of their "guest" real ales which I had a few days ago. "Oh, we change the guest ales each week," said the lovely barmaid, "which one was it?" I explained roughly which it was and she said they now have a similar one. Anyway, to cut a long story short (I'm a bugger for details!), she poured me a pint and then said "It's a good pint for vegans!". I said I was a carnivore and left it at that, but it got me thinking as to why she would say that? I thought all beers were pretty much vegan - no meat or dairy products involved?

How to eat well - and save the planet
Interesting article about the environmental impact of eating meat. Specifically about your water footprint. The environmental impact of being a meat eater was what swung it for me in becoming a vegetarian. Although strictly speaking I’m a pescatarian as I take the odd bit of fish. Very odd though.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I generally don't eat meat in the week for the very reasons you've outlined.
What I would say though is that some people instantly think Vegetarian / Vegan substitutes are better for the environment. Take almond milk for example (yuk). The water footprint and environmental impact is a scourge, but people don't know about it and say that it's better for the environment when it is anything but.
You would think so but apparently not. I was told that Guinness isn’t vegan. Apparently animal product can be used during the brewing process. Probably a cheaper ingredient than something plant derived to do the same job. Economics prevents a lot of things that could be vegan from being vegan. You would be surprised what contains animal product and byproduct.
I now only drink ants milk.
it takes 0 litres of water to produce 1 litre of ants milk
(but it does take fuck-loads of ants)
