[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the south as a vegetarian for religious reasons. I was never in your face about it and it was also the 80s and 90s when there really was not much knowledge of what vegetarians eat and yes I will emphatically say especially in the south. Some examples: They could not understand [u]at all[/u] why I would not just pick the pepperoni off the pizza and eat it. Never mind the pepperoni juice that was slathered all over the top of it. At a friend's house, her parents actually were so stumped as to what I could eat for dinner they offered me a slice of cheese. A slice of cheese. Seriously. There was no vegetarian option at school lunches, ever. When I carelessly forgot my lunch at home one day, I was give iceberg lettuce and thousand island dressing. So I can understand the OPs reservations. Dishes in the south are very meat centric and many simply don't understand how to put together a meal that is not. [/quote]
