I am not a vegetarian, but I do eat vegetarian-style. I would love the above as menu items for the Sunday brunch and would order them. I already eat turkey sausage and turkey bacon. There would be more people interested in this menu than you think.

--- Begin Message ---Folks, I don't think it's right to hold Vincent and Roger's feet to the fire here. For those wanting to properly define " vegan", "ovo-lacto vegetarian", and "vegetarian" should visit this link for a quick dispute about definitions: http://www.veganoutreach.org/advocacy/definingvegan.html. Vince and Roger run a quality establishment. Their meat, fish and produce are top-quality and their chef has a very disciplined care in food preparation. They cater to families, banquets, Sunday brunch crowds and promote a smoke-free bar and restaurant only looking out for the health of their customers, who are really their family, friends and neighbors. By-the-way, you can still smoke on the porch during warm months. The definition of vegetarian food and food preparation differs a little with each person you ask, but I trust that the folks at Abbraccio Restaurant have a good enough idea of what vegan, ovo-lacto vegetarian, and vegetarian mean. In the cause of proper definition, it realy doesn't help to be a vegan nazi. It won't help you as the customer and it won't help the restaurant. Because so many of us who call ourselves vegetarians don't have a common definition to cling to, it is incumbent upon us to tell the staff *EXACTLY* what we do and don't want in our food. Let the waitstaff know and they have the chef give you want you want. As far as the brunch food is concerned, well I think they've gone as far as the average restaurant would dare to go in providing veggy fair for some of their customers, and perhaps a little bit further. I, personally, would like to see the inclusion of soy milk or rice milk for those of us who want cereal without dairy and possibly some seasoned veggy sausage patties vroiled in a little extra virgin olive oil, let's says (just spread a little on the tray), mmmmmmmmmmmmhhh! They already have coffee, tea and juices for everyone, but I also like things like V8 juice for extra vitiamins and minerals in the morning. you can ask to have omlettes made with EggBeaters or egg whites to lower the cholesterol and saturated fat level of the "egg material" you eat. Veggie cheeses in different flavors like American, Provolone and Swiss would also be killed additions to the omlette preparation. However, while these changes in the brunch would be delicious additions from the vegetarian point of view, most customers would pass on using them. I hate to speak for customers I've never met, but I know most of them are meat eaters and don't care for vegetarian anything, although Kyle Cassidy came up with a valid number of 28.7% vegetarian for last Sunday's crowd. I'll also bet that it's probably more expensive to buy and prepare vegatarian food, which means Vincent and Frank would have to watch how much they spend for those products. I don't want them going broke trying to feed vegetarians either. I'm sorry for the diatribe, folks, but I like for focus on developing the questions we need to ask ourselves first and then focusing on all of the possible solutions. By-the-way, thank you Vince and Roger! Viva los professores!!!!

I give the Abbraccio folks credit for wanting to make people happy and trying to run a fine establishment...but i do think people in food professions should use correct terminology in order to make those who have all the dietary concerns noted feel confident in what they serve...a vegan or vegetarian needs to know that when they ask the waitstaff or chef or owner if something is vegetarian or vegan that they are all using the term with a mutually understood definition. --- Mark Krull <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > I give Roger Herman Kudos for his patience. > Thanks > > -----Original Message----- > From: Vincent/Roger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Mar 5, 2004 6:50 AM > To: "J.
