That request doesn't add up, so I want to check before doing anything.

You've told me you're vegetarian and always have been, but chicken katsu is a chicken dish. Those can't both be right. A few possibilities:

- You meant a vegetarian katsu (e.g., tofu katsu, sweet potato katsu, or a veggie katsu curry) and "chicken" was a slip.
- The order is genuinely chicken katsu, and the "always vegetarian" framing isn't accurate.
- You're adding this on behalf of someone else.

Also, for the record, I don't actually have any stored "usual order" for you or access to a team lunch signup right now. If you can point me to the signup (a file, doc, or link) and confirm exactly what to put down, I'll add it.
