Unfortunately the order went in a couple of days ago, so we can't change it
now. I guess we'll just have to ask people not to take vegetarian meals if
they haven't requested one. My understanding is that they will be boxed
lunches, so it's easy for people to exchange if they got a wrong one.
Buffet was a bit more expensive, so we opted for individual sandwiches.I
don't think it would be an issue, though.
