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.
