I said flowerpot mud and no one reacted. And then you say vegetarians are dull..dull as the mud? "Vegetarian" is a very widely varying term...in many places, seafood is considered "fruit of the sea" and therefore vegetarian. I was told, in Singapore, that fried rice, with prawns and squid in it, was vegetarian. I know someone who eats octopus with relish, but when he was in Japan, he was eating a bowl of glass noodles until he noticed some black spots on the noodles...and realized that the spots were in twos...and were, in fact, eyes on the tips of the whatever-it-was dried worms that he was eating! End of meal..... I know some friends who think snake gourd (podalangai in Tamizh) is a weird vegetable....when they were given this to eat at Jindal (a body-cleansing farm in Bangalore), they stopped at KFC on the way to the airport after their stay there. Since they'd also stopped at McD's on their way to Jindal, I am still wondering why they went there.
