   As somebody who spend a decade being vegetarian, I don't get how people can say "this dish is vegetarian", and then have cheese and egg in it.

   Please don't, just don't.

   I'm cool with lacto-ovo vegetarian, or some less pedantic version of that name for common parlance, but please don't put "vegetarian" on recipes that ... need animals.

   Please, show me the cheese plant and the egg tree, prove me wrong!

     @dch it would never occur to me to warn someone who identified as just vegetarian about animal products that didn't result in the death of the animal :flan_think: I use vegan for that exclusively, and during my years as a vegetarian that was always the generally understood definition, vegetarian=no animal flesh...but that 100% includes aquatic, so it is always very disturbing to me when I see "vegetarians" eating shrimp or fish and then I have to recalibrate and ask lots of questions. :flan_think: but then hanging around with Europeans the definition was entirely different and so was the reasoning. Now it's very messy everywhere so I just always ask the questions. XD

     @paulgatling @dch @pamela I've never heard that. "Pescetarian" seems more common.
