Presenting an
ever-expanding click-on ABC of delicious answers to the question of "But what do vegetarians eat?
"
|
| ... the puzzled query of many who grew up on a meat-centered
diet. But let's face it, the simple answer --- "We eat anything without meat, fish,
poultry, or shellfish" --- doesn't cut it, for many
reasons. First off, there are several
Types of
Vegetarians who do and don't include/eschew various food items from
their diet. But much more importantly, the simple answer above: it
rests on "without" rather than "with." May we present a new paradigm? |
 |
| The
PASSIONATE VEGETARIAN approach
rests on presence, not absence; abundance, not deprivation: it spills from
an overflowing, ever-changing cornucopia of ingredients, foodstuffs, dishes,
meals and cultures (virtually all). It is sensual; it is
celebratory, and it nourishes body and soul. The click-on alphabet below
