Thanks for sharing.

Interesting note, I have a coworker who grew up in China and he too seems to struggle with the idea of vegetarianism. He makes these wonderful homemade dumplings but can't seem to bring himself to not include meat or at least egg in them. I try to tell him I've had dumplings with just vegetables there were very good. He just can't do it and he offers them to me, "Just a little bit of shrimp."

He made one batch especially for me and could not stop himself from including egg. I'm not very strict about dairy anyway and so had them and enjoyed them.

His continued inability to get hold of the idea of not eating meat is a source of laughter for both of us and the others on our team.
