Pacifist Vegetarianism



Gigantic family dinner at Maggiano's yesterday. 3000 calories is my rough estimate. I definitely haven't been that full since Thanksgiving, full to the point of pain.

"So what appetizers?"

"Spinach and artichoke dip and stuffed mushrooms," says my sister.

"What's in the mushrooms?"

"They're definitely vegetarian."

"Oh, I'll be the judge of that."

I didn't think about it again that night, but today I checked out Maggiano's menu online and, naturally, the stuffed mushrooms are prepared with chicken broth.

Meat eaters and vegetarians; we don't think the same way.

(Disclaimer: I eat seafood.)
