You did not answer the question. For instance, quiche can be a fine meal, but most require cheese and eggs. If one is really concerned with the animals, then one has to consider the treatment of the dairy animals. So, vegetarian as in NO animal products whatsoever and would that include insects? Cicadas spend most of their lives underground sucking sap from tree roots. The plant-based diet gives them a green, asparagus-like flavor, especially when eaten raw or boiled, according to Kristky, who prefers his Brood II bugs blanched and tossed into a leafy green salad like chunks of chicken.
I despise soy as a meat substitute and fake dairy products are just as bad, if not worse.
Oh I thought you were asking me what kind of vegetarian I was.
The recipe can have eggs and dairy products. Just no actual meat. I need to take baby steps. :

Oh, and no bugs! Ew!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
