People who don’t eat meat other than fish or seafood are called pescatarians.

Funny.

Salmon IS meat. Fish are animals.

@sidsmom

Meat can just mean food, not specifically flesh. Nut meat, for example. In common use, it usually does not include seafood.

@poohbear1

Is the girlfriend lacto-ovo? If so, you might consider mac and cheese, a classic Thanksgiving side dish everyone could have... well, unless lacto intolerant.

Wow...that’s a stretch.

Yeah, if I threw a stick & hit 500 people,

100% of them would define ‘meat’ as animal flesh.

Surprises me how people can determine the difference

between, say, a stick & a puppy. Hint: one is an animal.

It would only be a stretch if it wasn't common. I don't know how you miss so many things that are common knowledge. Let me guess, you've also never heard the phrase, "Getting to the meat of the matter." They didn't mean beef.

@poohbear1

Basically Thanksgiving, and other holiday meals, are basically

a barrage of side dishes! The meat entreé almost seems like

an afterthought. Google Forks Over Knives...they have a ton of

recipes which are vegan (vegetarian encompasses vegan).

Or scoot over to Youtube & search Simple Daily Recipes.

Corn stuffing, green bean casserole, cranberry dishes, rolls,

corn dishes, collard greens, pies....all the traditional dishes

are non-meat related. It’s all about the sides!

This like the "vegetarians" who don't eat meat but eat eggs. Silly. The group that don't eat meat but eat fish are called pescatarians.
