no meat
Plant-based diet requirement
No meat describes food prepared without animal flesh, whether by design or request.
At restaurants, no meat signals a dietary restriction: I'll have the pasta, no meat.
The phrase covers vegetarian preferences, religious observances, or simple taste.
It typically excludes poultry and fish along with red meat, though interpretations vary.
