T-Rex: I've decided to go
T-Rex: VEGAN!
T-Rex: I'm making myself a delicious salad with chicken pieces.
Utahraptor: Do you mean chick peas?
T-Rex: Aren't they the same thing?
Utahraptor: Uh, no.
{T-Rex is tending a stall with signs:}
Sign: SALE!
Sign: "VEGAN" FALAFELS!

The author writes:

Inspired by an incident I had while travelling with my vegetarian wife. We had a waiter who confused "chick peas" and "chicken pieces" due to poor command of English. (Alas my command of Arabic was even worse than the waiter's English, so that wasn't an option for sorting it out.) Fortunately we did manage to sort it out before a serious error was made.
