Kiddie food

I have a cute 11 month kiddo whose religion dictates that she not eat animal flesh. Milk and eggs are ok.

The kitchen in the hospital keeps sending her plain cod for almost every meal. No matter how many times the unit clerk has re-entered the order to be appropriate for the patient, we get plain cod.

Finally, I called dietary myself to get to the bottom of this. When I told them that my patient was strict vegetarian, I was told that was a vegan. He kept telling me that vegetarian meant fish. Strict vegetarian meant no milk.

I gave up and asked the kitchen to not bother with titles and just send yogurt and anything else they wanted as long as it never had a face.
