deckardcanineI think vegetarians come in two types
(A conceit that I rarely respect),
As some prefer substitute meat that’s convincing,
Which others are bound to reject.
The camp they belong to will likely depend
On their motive for not eating meat,
As well as their history—whether they used to.
The flavor may well be a treat
Or just an unwelcome reminder of something
They opt to avoid for a reason.
Perhaps the extreme ones will find any veggies
In patty formation displeasin’.
For my part, I do like the meatier versions
Of foods that are animal-free.
I hope you agree it’s not self-contradictory,
Just how I like it to be.

So, if I’m going to have a vegetarian thingy, I’ll taking a nice marinated extra firm tofu, somewhat fried. And if I’m going to pass bottles out a gathering with GF friends, its going to be cider for everyone; cider is good; it’s not going to be MacAndrews Scottish Ale for everyone else and that Sorghum GF ‘Beer’ for that GF person.
There are times this doesn’t work. I want ground meat in my stuffed cabbage, and in this case, there is Beyond Meat for the vegetarians.
