Mario speculates: I believe the term vegetarian is often used loosely to refer to a food that may be acceptable to many vegetarians. Fish, not being a vegetable, is obviously not strictly vegetarian. However, it is eaten by many vegetarians, especially those whose diet is determined by religious tenets against eating beef or pork. Similarly, there are some in India who consider unfertilized eggs to be vegetarian.

[Goanet] RE: the little known FACT cross-cultural cuisine
From: Gabe Menezes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Relish the cross-cultural cuisine TIMES NEWS NETWORK In fact many people think that Goan cuisine has to do mostly with the non-vegetarian. However I soon found out that it's not true. Maria explained a little known FACT that before the Portuguese occupation of nearly four and half centuries, most Goans were vegetarian. Ah! the Times of India, the home of the BOGUS Goa-Alcohol study. (mercifully modified before publication elsewhere) I wonder where one goes to verify this above mentioned FACT Is fish vegetarian ? BTW: in this majority of Goans did Maria include the native Goans eg Kunbis ani Gaudis? Did the Saraswats start eating fish after being forced by the Portuguese. Did the 'New Conquests' develop their famous fish cuisine only after the Portuguese? Where does one go for this FACT? I could understand this situation when Goa was under the Buddhists. Wonder what happened to them. Did the Portuguese wipe them out too? It would be good to know Gabe, it would also have been nice to have the name of the author. jc _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
