Tuna Sandwich - A veggie?

I went to attend a conference recently where I asked the serving person whether there is any vegetarian item available there. Here is the conversation that went on.
Serving Person: You have aloo salad to eat.
Me: Is there anything else to eat?
Serving Person: You have Tuna Sandwich which is a vegitarian.
Me: Are you sure? Does it contain meat?
Serving Person: No. It doesn't contain meat.
Me: Does it contain Egg?
Serving Person: Probably it may contain but no meat for sure.
So, I grabbed a Tuna Sandwich to eat and while I was about to eat, I saw a pure vegetarian person sitting beside me. I asked him whether he is not having this sandwich. Then he said it contains fish. So, the other lady who was sitting with us said "here, they don't consider fish as meat"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny.. :))
Moral of the story: Don't assume that non-veg item means meat. You should explicitly ask the serving people whether it contains fish, meat or what not!!!!
