Again, I’m not in the area so don’t worry about my particular preferences. And I wouldn’t exactly go home hungry with that menu. But those things are all stuff that I’d classify as a side dish rather than a main course. One of the hardest things about being vegetarian is not finding veggie-food period, but finding veggie food that has the satisfying substance of a main dish. (My experience anyway)
My preference would be a pasta, casserole or stew.
OK, thanks for telling me your preferences. I was trying to avoid carbs because I’m better at cooking protein. Counterfactual you can eat as many portabellos as you want though. They’re $4.79/pound at the Berkeley Bowl.
Heh. An additional individual quirk of mine is that I just don’t like mushrooms (I’m trying to wean myself onto them, but it’s slow going). I currently do eggs and dairy so the protein incentive isn’t really there.
If I were a respectable vegetarian who ate mushrooms (I get heat from hardcore vegan friends for not liking them, as well as from incredulous omnivore friends operating off of vague stereotypes), then maybe I wouldn’t have felt as excluded looking at the list. Dunno. I didn’t quite care enough to comment until I saw Benthamite’s reply and how that played out.
