Happy New Years
Non-Vegan; OK
But since when did fish become vegetables?
I assume your 'vegetarians' didn't just eat the two actually vegetable
dishes.
My daughter-in-law, a Vegetarian (not quite Vegan),
eats only vegetables and a little dairy food including blue cheese.
But she eats veggie burgers, vegie bacon, etc..
She gets upset when I ask (innocently) why she needs to eat her vegetables
disguised as MEAT.
