I remember that vegetarian philosophy with such fondness and nostalgia.
There's a part of me that still does well on that diet. I was at
Barnes and Noble tonight where I made a special point of looking through
The New Vegetarian Epicure carefully. You're right; it is a whole
nother animal. Still, I didn't buy it. I couldn't imagine using it.
If I want newfangled, I'll eat meat.
