Questions about a menu.
I've downloaded a menu from one English restaraunt. Have some questions.

1) What could (V) at the right of some dishes mean? That they're presented in the current menu or it's some special symbol?
2) Is crusty bread a toast or crusty refers to its condition - not soft?
3) There is a list of extra sides that contains vegetables, green beans etc. There is also 'steamed' in this list. Does it refer to rice?

Answer

1) "V" means that the dish is suitable for vegetarians. 
2) Crusty bread refers to its condition, ie. not soft. it's usually some kind of baguette.
3) I'm guessing "steamed" refers to whatever it stands next to, perhaps steamed vegetables or rice as you suggested. Just writing "steamed" on it's own has no special meaning.
