I mean like this.WHAT FUCKING VEGETABLES ARE IN IT
Some Indian places just say "meat" in their curries too, which does me in. Does it hurt to be specific?

They would list it if there were any known allergens.
What are you concerned about something? Do you have a diagnosis for OCD?

It doesn't affect you, and you're so obsessed with knowing that it's causing you discomfort. You solve problems like this by learning not to care about unimportant things, not by grilling the restaurant staff or documenting menu items with screenshots. Seek help if this is how you spend your time, you could be enjoying a crispy vegetable roll and doing something valuable with your time instead.

Call the restaurant, and ask which traditional herbs and spices they use while you're at it

Of course it affects me, it's the meal that I might be ordering. Why wouldn't I want to know the ingredients?

> Of course it affects me, it's the meal that I might be ordering
There's many other details you don't even bring up, and everything is fine. Are you upset the dimensions and weight of the cylinder isn't listed? At least that info would tell you about the value of the meal, but you're content with that omission?
> Why wouldn't I want to know the ingredients?
Mentally healthy people ask why they would do something. Madmen and the clinically ineffective disorganized dredges of society ask negatives. The latter will get you nowhere because there's an infinite number of pointless questions you could ask.

lettuce, cabbage, maybe a little spinache and bell pepper. you know, standard egg roll shit.
but really, who fuckin cares if they decided to go off road and use broccoli and capers? egg rolls only exist as an inconspicuous straw for those gross ass soups.

The weight and calorie information is listed. Why do you think it is ok to want to know that, but not what the meal contains?
@previous (E)
It's an example. There are many of these types of thing that just vaguely say "vegetables" instead of what they actually contain. Besides, I care if they decide to go off road and put some gross shit in there. I don't want to pay for a meal to discover there's something in it I don't like.

It's relevant information for anyone keeping track of their calories or macros.
Why would the exact vegetables matter? Do you want them to list the farm of origin too, maybe some backstory on the history of the vegetables?

> No, I'd just like to know what food the item is prepared with.
Could mean the daily veggies vary according to what is available. Varies from day to day. Guess you're not into mysteries.

OP expects a detailed list of everything inside that role. The exact ratios.
Full details of infusions. Details of the oils the roll is fried in.

Don't exaggerate. I just want a proper explanation of what the roll is made out of. If I bought it from a supermarket, it would list the ingredients on the package.

I don't want food containing mushrooms.

Mushrooms are scientifically classified as fungi, but nutritionally considered vegetables.

Neither vegetables nor fungi are considered a nutrient.
Are you talking about the nutrients contained within? You are still incorrect. Vitamin D is present in mushrooms, but not in any vegetable. Nutrients in vegetables are also found in non-vegetable foods.
The advertised product is clear, no mushrooms will be in there if the cooks follow the recipe.
