Could anyone tell me what the abreviations at the end of each resturant review in the Fodors guides mean, for example: AE, MC, V, DC, D (I assume V stand for vegetarian but I haven't a clue about the others).

AE= American Express
MC= Matercard
V= Visa
DC=Diners Club
D=discover

Is this post for real?

1. They don't have and never had charge cards in the UK.
2. The poster is 12 years old.
3. The poster is an escapee from the Lonely Planet website.
4. They're having another 'troll' contest at Lonely Planet and have targeted Fodors.

I don't know what the credit card comments have to do with the question.

You were right, Lisa, about V being vegetarian. The rest are these:
AE: Active eating, where food throwing or making your own dishes takes place.
MC: Multi-Cuisine, like sushi lasagna with sauerkraut.
DC: Dining Casino -- you take your chances with what you order.
D: Drinking only: all foods are pureed and served in a glass.
