Flirting with Vegetarianism.

About six years ago, I made a bet with one of my friends that if she could stop smoking for a month, I could be a vegetarian for a month. I ended up depriving myself of meat for a month where she just lied and told me she stopped smoking. I've never trusted anyone since.

Let me now share with you some of the more lovely things to come out of vegetarianism that I've discovered.



The above image is of a dish called poutine. It's a regional delight of French Canada and it's delicious. Basically, it consists of french fries (or as they say in French Canadian, pommes frites) covered with mozzarella curds and brown gravy. It's traditionally served with a diet soda (to prove you are watching your caloric intake). What makes poutine different from disco fries? I'm not sure, one is in French.

There are plenty of options available to people who are looking to cut meat out of their diet for health reasons. I look forward to exploring many more culinary options with you all.
