Let Me Vegan Again

My husband has a dairy and egg allergy. He has taken to looking for vegan options and then adding meat because if something is vegan it’s going to be egg and dairy-free.

One night at an Indian place he came out with this gem:

Husband: “Is the butter chicken vegan?”

I’m still impressed that the server kept a straight face.

Server: “No, it has chicken.”

Before I could interrupt and explain, my husband doubled down with:

Husband: “Well of course, but is the rest of it vegan?”

Once I explained that he was really asking if they made the sauce with coconut milk rather than cream and butter, we all had a good laugh.

And no, the butter chicken was NOT vegan. However, a chickpea curry was, and it ended up being delicious!
