This question never ceases to amuse me...

"I'm a vegetarian."

"You are? But what do you eat?!"

Well, I thought it would have been obvious. Babies roasted on a spit, of course. *snickers* Silly, silly meat-obsessed people who don't like vegetables...

Speaking as a meat eater? Those babies are *tasty*, especially with a bit of chilli and a marinade and all...

And low in calories, too. *grins* Actually, there's a Neil Gaiman short story you should read in Smoke and Mirrors, if you haven't already...

It's just the way people ask, completely confused and bewildered. Like there's no other food in the world than meat. *shakes head* Strange people.

*laughs* I get that ALL THE TIME. Or, in my case, I get, "But you eat fish, right?" And I say, "no. If it was alive, I don't eat it." And, invariably, they say, "So, you eat fish?" And all I can think is, "..." which isn't much. ;-D

The really awful one? ANd one day all the babies went away.... Not again. It's too. Too quietly scary for me.

I don't know how you are on the fake meat stuff - the tofu pretending to be meat stuff, but there's this restaurant in West Melbourne, the White Lotus, that's vegan and does all tofu and vegie dishes. Pretty good except they do a lot of that dodgy fake meat stuff, too.
