I am not a vegetarian - BUT I really don't like chicken. Nor will I eat steak in restaurants. I can't stand most sausage. And all too often pork in restaurants is dry and not worth eating. I will eat some of these things in my home where I control the quality of the meat and the cooking. But I do not have to have meat with a meal. I love a good hamburger - but I must control the quality of the meat.
I love all vegetables and really appreciate food with spices, etc that are cooked really well. I love good fish and shellfish (living in New Orleans I expect really fresh stuff).
I often order vegetarian dishes when eating out. My favorite thing to do when I go to a restaurant that has a lot of vegetables sides is to order a vegetable plate with 4-5 options.
I am not picky if a meat stock is used. But as my sister has been a vegetarian for 35+ years I am very aware of what NOT to do if I am cooking a meal for a vegetarian. My next door neighbor for the last 4 years when coming over for dinner always wanted to see the ingredient list for what I was serving. I understand her concern as I've seen so many people think that cream of chicken soup or chicken stock was an okay ingredient as it was not "meat". I finally convinced her that no I would not sneak in anything non vegetarian - even gelatin or jello.
Disney has become so much more responsive to the needs of vegetarians. When my sister and I went to DisneyWorld twenty years ago (after our mother died) there were not a lot of options for her.
Even though I will eat meat I totally respect the desire of others to have NOTHING meat related.
