When T. was a kid (yearsandyearsandyears ago), The Vegetarian Times<\/i> had a running cartoon joke, the punchline of which was “Chicken is a Vegetable.” In the cartoons, people were offered concessions of all sorts at restaurants when they asked for vegetarian entrees. “We have chicken fingers!” one waitress announced. Dryly the diners noted, “Of course. Because chicken is a vegetable<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
We have friends who call themselves vegetarians, but they eat fish, which interests us, since we were raised vegetarian, and that meant “we eat nothing which was once both breathing and ambulatory.” The whole fish thing is somewhat confusing (and once netted us big bowls of some sort of seafood stew with suckers and claws at the home of a new acquaintance. Oops. Awkward.<\/i>), but we do know from pescatarian, which is Vegetarian-but-eats-fish<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah, yeah. There may be too many -tarians for the average person, but this is important stuff! Because of that, we’re here with a pictorial tutorial from our Christmas-in-July supper:<\/p>\n
