That's a great way to explain it!  A woman in the building
where I work  has tried tried a couple of my recipes.  They
just so happened not to  contain meat (my yellow squash
casserole recipe and spinach & feta  quiche) but were
definitely not vegan.  She asked if I ever cook vegan
food.  I know she's not a vegan or even a vegetarian so I
had no problem laughing.

 
I have a number of vegetarian recipes in my repertoire. We
were eating them as part of the heart healthy thing which we
sort of slipped away from. I had been thinking about getting
back to them.  Last night I did the vegetarian pizza. Maybe
this week I will do the chick pea curry.
 
 
I have no problem with people eating vegetarian meals or
living on a vegetarian diet. I don't want to hear the moral
superiority nonsense.  I also have issues with the faux meat
grab. If you don't want to eat meat eat vegetables and
legumes. There is no need to process vegetables and stuff to
make something that you think feels and tastes like meat. If
you want that taste and feel of meat, eat meat.

 
I get the same giggle you do at the faux meat.  Anyways, I
kinda have had different experiences overall with vegetarians
and vegans.  I don't know any (lucky me!) that make a fuss over
it  If I met one, I disassociate from them gently and steer
clear of them.

 
   More fool you.
 
   Two of the best cooks I know, are a vegan and a
vegetarian.

 
I think she steers clear only if they're militant.

Yes. 

 

I'm pretty sure that's what Carol meant.  I have a good friend who is
a vegetarian.  We don't preach at each other about food choices.  His
g/f isn't a vegetarian, either, and he doesn't try to convert her.

Most are sane folks.  At the least they ask only for a vegetarian
option at a restarant (which obviosly should be there or we don't pick
that place).
