I always call myself a pescetarian, and if people aren't familiar with the word I say that I am a vegetarian that eat fish. I gave up meat because of healt reasons as well as the disgust i felt when picturing the animal i was eating being alive. I sometimes get the same with fish and can't eat the rest of my dinner... I would never eat squid tough. But that's cause they don't look like something one should eat. Rubber dinner. Food is art -J I’m a pescetarian.

What people will and wont eat - and why - always brings up such interesting stories. My husband still doesn't understand why I looooove to eat cow tongue (did you make a face? Tacos de Lengua are so good!) and I can't understand why he won't eat any meat. Ever. Oh well! You are absolutely right.

The idea behind peche-vegetarians is that fish/seafood are rarely victims of cruel farmed life, unlike most other). Also, the health trends encouraging Omega-3 fish sources are having an impact on health-conscious vegetarians, encouraging them to consider fish.

I don't usually label myself a vegetarian but find that others sometimes bestow that label upon me. However, for functions such as weddings etc. it is easier to say you are a vegetarian so you get the vegetarian option, rather than having to go into all the details about what you do or don't eat. I don't see why it should annoy anyone that we choose to eat some types of food but not others (well, unless you are cooking for us - hey Jules!) - it is no different than someone choosing to eat eggs and milk but not animal flesh, for example. Half-vegetarians of the world, unite!
