That's pretty much how I was at Shoujocon when we ate in the hotel restaurant. Practically everything on the menu had meat in it, so I ordered one of the only two things that didn't SAY meat--pasta with bolognese sauce. Little did I realize that bolognese sauce had meat in it...it just didn't say so on the menu, the customer was expected to know from the name. (And HOW are we supposed to know, if we've never had it before?)
...And then there's the time I bought satsuma-age, believing from the name that it was fried satsuma-imo (sweet potato). No, it turns out that it's actually made from fish.
I say it's all a conspiracy to make me starve. ...Or have to wash more dishes.
