If only there is a general clue that there is something alien in there..

Thanks for the warning; I usually have my friend, my food consultant with me, but on an off day I am helpless.

I actually think there are some levels in the non-veg food chain: eggs, fish, chicken, meat, beef, pork etc., in approx that order. I know many people who consider themselves veggies but relish eggs, fish and chicken.

On similar lines there are some subtle lines in the veggie food chain too. Many people i know(elder people), dont eat root-based vegetables, like onions..
I avoid mushrooms whenever possible; have doubts about their veggie status, but more so, dont like their bland taste.

One recent diet/health fad in my home town is Vegetarian Eggs..
