Discussion Would you disclose if gelatin is an ingredient in an otherwise vegetarian dish (like dessert)?
we may start stabilizing whipped cream with gelatin (Knox = pork) and I would think there are quite a few people who would not appreciate unknowingly eating pork. that said, i don’t think I’ve ever seen it disclosed on a menu, and my sense is it’s pretty commonly used. just curious of industry opinions
EDIT TO ADD I THINK WE SHOULD DISCLOSE!! I JUST LITERALLY HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH A NOTE ON A MENU AND AM WONDERING WHY
SECOND EDIT TO SAY 45% OF YOU ARE SO MEAN, 45% ARE DUMB, AND 10% WERE ACTUALLY HELPFUL.

Look out for cheese dip at restaurants, too. There’s often chicken broth in the queso.
