Kenneth, There is no general rule on Veg/Non-veg restaurants. They often change based on locations. Many highway non-vegetarian eateries/restaurants in tamilnadu have an explicit sign board saying "no vegetarian food". This is becoming common in many cities in tamilnadu.
IMHO, colors (in symbol) for restaurants have to represent 3 types of restaurants 1. Veg - Green 2. Both veg and non-veg (may be orange) 3. Strictly non-vegetarian (red) pandian 2009/10/22 Kenneth Gonsalves <law...@au-kbc.org>: > On Thursday 22 Oct 2009 11:21:59 am Kiran Jonnalagadda wrote: >> > Moreover, I am not sure of the relevance of the non-vegetarian attribute. >> > All the non-vegetarian restaurants I know propose vegetarian meals. >> >> You'll find "military" restaurants along highways all over India that are >> non-veg only.
