The one exception I've noticed, besides vegetarian restaurants of course,
is at Italian restaurants when they have a whole selection of pastas and
sauces -- some with, and some without meat components.

Really? One thing I simply must have occasionally is bacon. I cannot
stomach the flavour of ham, though, and even pork chops taste a little
funny to me now (and thus I rarely have them -- haven't for a few years
now). But I tend not to get an upset stomach from dead pig, though for some
reason in the last few months I've had several chickens try to either
tunnel their way out of me or, perhaps, take me down with them. Damn hens.
