I see on your menu it says "Vegetable soup." Is that vegetarian friendly?
Yup, it's a vegetable soup. It's made of vegetables.
Yes, but what I'm asking is, is the broth made with beef stock? You know, is it vegetable broth or is it a meat stock?
Um, sure, I guess. yeah, I'm pretty sure it is chicken stock, oop, I mean, vegetable stock.
Look, can you just go into the kitchen and ask if it's meat stock or not?
Sadly, even if he does walk into the kitchen, he probably won't even ask the cook, because that, my friend, wouldn't be Vague... and Unknowable. I'm Ken Martini.
