I asked that question ... and got a lot of mumbling about, "we think many
people are now eating cheaper and pocketing the difference." (Doh!) "We
expect you to eat at the contract restaurants ... Not following expense
reporting guidelines is considered falsifying an expense report." <Gulp>

When I asked if I could not-claim a per diem in order to avoid any possible
worries about falsifying an expense ... resulted in an eye-roll and no direct
answer.

At the time, I did not think to ask about Kosher or Halal dietary restrictions. <g>
