Poor Veggies. :(

Along the right lines, but wide of the mark, try piscetarian.

Thats not in wikipedia though....

Lets just say if you eat fish but no other meat, you are a very fussy carnivore

[kalniel]

Only because it's actually spelled pescetarian

[Crazy Cricket]

not always, no. both spellings are accepted

Now it all makes sense... lets shorten that to pescie (like vegetarian is shortened to veggie)...

These damn pesky pescies calling themselves vegetarian... lol

[Crazy Cricket]

There's a reason for that, in so much that most peceterians get fed up of having to explain what it means over and over and over again, so in the end they give up and call themselves veggie.

But saying "I'm a vegetarian and I eat fish" is like saying "I'm not a mugger and I only mug certain old ladies"

I'm sure i choked then

Saying your Vegetarian means people won't serve you meat. If you eat fish but tell people you're veggie then you may miss out on fish from them unless you clarify, but you won't get given any meat.

Surely that's better than people mistakenly giving you meat because you felt you shouldn't use the term Vegetarian?

the fish! they are screaming in AGONY!

also - fish fingers ftw

But this situation doesn't crack grannie cranium like muggers tend to do.

Yes, they are omnivores, they themselves don't deny that, and there's a perfectly good definition to slip their diet into.

But given that it's not a well known definition, and one that requires constant explination, they soon get fed up and end up calling themselves veggies who eat fish, can't say I blame them.

[Dareos]

are you calling Clingy a mugger?

[MadduckUK]

Joe Peschisolido is harder

i think you will find that is because there in my freezer.. that or evolution (or lack of, or the wrong kind), one or the other

[SiM]

but fish don't have fingers

I lol'd.

Anyways, the problem I have when people discover I'm vegetarian is that I get the "but you do eat fish, right? How about a nice bit of chicken? Or some ham if it's really thin?" inquisition.

I'm vegetarian. I eats vegetables. yum.

I personally don't understand the reasoning behind claiming to be vegetarian when you're not, but more annoying are the people who claim to be vegetarian AND YET WILL STILL EAT CHICKEN. Damn them.
