Passage / Scenario
Mirella has recently become an ovo-lacto vegetarian, which means that she does not eat any kind of animal lesh but that she does eat eggs and dairy products. In fact, she prefers to consume either eggs or dairy products at every meal to ensure a good intake of protein. Additionally, Mirella has an allergy to wheat products, so she avoids any kind of bread.Which of the following menu items fulfills her dietary requirements?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A, the tofu-mushroom-spinach lasagna. Mirella is an ovo-lacto vegetarian, meaning she eats eggs and dairy but avoids animal flesh. This dish meets her dietary requirements as it is a vegetarian option that contains tofu and cheese for protein. Additionally, since Mirella has a wheat allergy, she can choose a lasagna recipe with alternative noodles or omit noodles altogether. Choice B, the veggie burger, may contain wheat in the bun, which is not suitable for Mirella. Choice C, salmon with cream sauce, contains animal flesh and is not vegetarian. Choice D, stuffed baked potato with vegetable soup, may include wheat products in the soup, making it unsuitable for Mirella's wheat allergy.
