How many vegetarians and vegans do we have now?

And while we’re on the subject, got any good vegetarian summer recipes to share?

I just made this delicious raw sweet potato slaw with grated sweet potato, un-sweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans, and a dressing of lemon juice and maple syrup. It’s so good.

I’m NOT a Vegetarian; however, I did run across a delicious sounding Sweet Potato Soup on Youtube a few days back. She adds bacon to hers but clearly says that the bacon is OPTIONAL!!! I love my meat, but I think it would be better without the bacon. This recipe is for an electric pressure cooker but she gives a link to how to do it in a slow cooker also. I’m sure it could be cooked on the stove top by adjusting the cook time. It sounded so good that I bookmarked it to go back to make it this later on.

I am allergic to sugar cane, dairy, almond, sunflower, many grains (wheat, barley, spelt, rye, and gluten) and anything mold or fungus related (vinegar, mushrooms, yeast, and alcohol). I’m not a celiac.

What’s left is fruit and vegetables, and occasionally organic meats.

My sense of taste is shot. I hate to cook because everything tastes flat. I’d love some help!

Vegan here, pleased to raise her hand!

Not a vegan or vegetarian, but could be considered a veggie leaning folk.

Just who is “we?” Do you have a monkey in your pocket??
I’m a food vacuum. Unless there is liver, celery, raisins, and maybe a couple of other things…

Vegan here.

My wife and I are flexitarians, which is to say that we are vegetarians most of the time with certain exceptions.

@kritiper The “we” in the question refers to Fluther, as in “how many vegetarians and vegans are still on Fluther these days?”

@SavoirFaire It’s a joke my 7th grade teacher always used to make…

Sounds less like a joke and more like hypercorrective pedantry. In any case, it makes no sense when the referent is obvious.

I am a vegetarian. Its hard to survive amongst all the food joints serving mostly meat and non-vegeratian food, but still I love to remain a vegetarian.

I avoid beef, but I eat poultry and fish. Mostly I do it for health reasons. I also try to cut back on sugar and I avoid artificial sweeteners.

@SavoirFaire Noted. (I knew who “we” were. So obvious!)
Any future jokes of the like made by this person will not be directed at you.

Vegetarian here.

@kritiper Uhhhh, I don’t get the monkey joke.

I just wanted to know how many vegans and vegetarians are currently on Fluther.

@kritiper I got it!!! My teacher always asked us “if we had a mouse in our pocket”

Not me! But I am looking for a yummy pasta salad recipe.
As far as general foods, I focus more on calories than anything else which automatically leads me to leaner foods.

This Mediterranean Pasta Salad looks pretty delicious!

Or this one for BLT Pasta Salad (of course I would use fake bacon).
