Veggies cooked in Chicken Broth??

[WDW2002]

I read (here on the Dis) a few months ago that the veggies at WDW are cooked/steamed in chicken brooth. Can any one confirm (or better yet deny) this?

If you are a vegetarian you should contact the staff of each restaurant itself and make sure there is no chicken broth in what you are eating . That is the only way to know for sure. FWIW, I cannot imagine someone steaming vegetables in chicken broth as a usual thing. It's far too expensive. Using it to flavor rice dishes, yes. Cooking vegetables, no.

I plan to ask before we eat. And I agree, even cost no option, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I am also very bummed that chicken broth is used to "Flavor" many otherwise "safe" foods.

Hmmm ... it's perfectly safe to me . But ... I know what you mean. It's difficult to be a vegetarian or allergic to certain foods. We carnivore, bagel eating, nut munching, milk slurpers don't really think about people who can't.

My dad does a lot of cooking and he buys chicken broth from Costco by the cases. He uses it to floavor lots of things. I never realized it until I got married and tried to watch him so that I could try to cook like him (still can't, but my brother tells me that my meatballs are good!)

I know that it is a popular way to make mashed potatoes, instead of using milk and butter.

It's probably best to ask and alert your server that you are vegeterian. I am sure that they can have the food prepared for you the way you request.
