No i'm not. Just putting a bit of perspective on things.

No you're not.

You're promoting the 'it doesn't matter - anything goes' culture.

That may well be fine for you but others like to get what they pay for and not have to put up with endless problems caused by incompetent staff.

err yes...cheese and onion, and it was labelled as such...

The OP did get what they paid for, a cheap mass-produced pasty where the manufacturing process has a small error rate in order to keep the cost of the product down. If this was a £40 pasty from the Ivy cooked by chefs on £50k/pa it would be a different matter.

If the pasty HAD been cheese and onion, would it have been rennet free cheese and therefore suitable for vegetarians ?

Wonder if the OP asked what was in the pastry ?

Like lard you mean, or butter to make it---both animal derivatives:D

As a vegetarian for 24 years (OMG I'm old!) I would be mortified if a pasty in a cheese and onion wrapper had meat in it!

Don't bother with the store-take this straight to head office... and I really hope they realise what this means and treat this seriously. I'd be interested in their response. OK it could have been a mistake but they have to provide a good explanation/promise it won't happen again.

Sure OP checked how the pastry was made-Morrisons probably put a "V" on the package-can't really comment as I don't buy much from them TBH

I've been veggie for 25 years (I'm 35). In this situation I'd wipe the floor with them. I'm happy to cook and handle meat for other people, but the thought of eating it myself makes me feel physically sick.

Butter is suitable for vegetarians. The cow doesn't die in order for butter to be made (at least the cow who is milked hasn't died; shame the same can't be said for her calf). Maybe you are confusing vegans with vegetarians. Lard on the other hand is the dead animal's fat so is not suitable for vegetarians.

I happily eat butter and drink milk, but not lard. The fact that cheese and butter are made from milk which come from cows does not classify them as meat. Only a vegan would avoid all animal products.

I had exactly the same issue with morrisons pie counter and as a vegetarian of 32 years I was well peeved with them. They offered me a four pack of pasties as an apology but oddly I didn't bother accepting them. To eat out is a minefield, the amount of times I've put 'quorn' lasagne in my mouth and discovered that it was mince is too many to recount, so now if I can't see the veggies all through a meal I don't eat it. And there are so few choices on menus too
