Guest guest Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Hi -- This is Derek in Virginia, a new member to the group. I am actually not veggie full time, although I aspire to be. I usually eat what's served to me when visiting socially, even if it includes animal protein. Perhaps I should make the statement of not eating meat when it's served to me, but I'm conflicted -- in some cultures it's not acceptable to turn down what one is served when a guest in the home of another; however, there are some foods I can't tolerate (don't like, can't stand) that I have to admit I wouldn't be prepared to eat if served to me. Most of these are animal foods; primarily seafoods -- particularly shellfish (I admit there are plant-based foods I won't eat either, such as okra or tempeh). Anyway, I'm glad to have found this group, look forward to trying the mouth-watering sounding recipes I've seen in messages so far, and perhaps come to a decision to go veggie full-time. Also, I plan to submit some recipes shortly. Derek Williamsburg, VA for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
