Hahahahaha. I like to intentionally make that mistake sometimes with a few people I know who are a bit militaristic about being vegan. ;-) As Beth well knows, for me, the rule is, "if it tastes good eat it." Put a slab of suckling pig, gator on the BBQ with a keg of beer and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm have a party! Or, if it's a nice, ripe, juicy tamater or jal on the vine, by god I'm yankin it and heating it off the plant!
