I’m sure, but that’s not foolproof. And clearly this guy needs FOOLproof!
There are people who have traveled with me and thus learned the hard way to announce right at the beginning that they were vegetarian (even though they weren’t) to avoid just such situations. If you cite religion as your reason, or at least point to a local religion with dietary restrictions as an example, it’s understood and not considered rude.

Andouillette is one of my favorite sausages.

When I tried it they split it and charred it on a griddle after grilling. The faintly fecal odor was overwhelmed by an odor close to burnt hair, for which there was not enough mustard in the world to cover up. I’ll give it another try one day.

Interesting development: Six months later, the site announces that all of their anus products were molded from a male anus. All the people who suddenly want refunds have to explain why they’re now uncomfortable when they weren’t before.
