Answers:

Before you try to feed her, you need to find out which kind of vegetarian she is.

Most vegetarians are lacto ovo vegetarians. Lacto means milk and ovo means egg. These vegetarians don't eat meat (not even chicken and fish) but they will eat dairy and eggs. Vegetarians don't eat gelatin because it is made by using parts of slaughtered animals. Lots of yogurt has gelatin but not all of it so you would have to read the label.

There are lacto vegetarians who will eat dairy but not eggs and there are ovo vegetarians who will eat eggs but not dairy.

Some cheese is not vegetarian because it is made with animal rennet that came from slaughtered animals.

Vegans don't eat meat (not even chicken and fish) or anything that comes from an animal. They don't eat eggs, dairy or honey. They also don't buy things with wool, feathers, silk or leather because these things come from animals and they don't buy products that were tested on animals.



Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet including fruits, vegetables, cereal grains, nuts, and seeds, mushrooms, with or without dairy products and eggs. A vegetarian does not eat meat, including red meat, game, poultry, fish, crustacean, and shellfish, and may also abstain from by-products of animal slaughter such as animal-derived rennet and gelatin. As some cheeses contain animal-derived rennet, and gelatin-derived products may contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, these products may unknowingly be consumed by vegetarians.

A lacto-vegetarian diet includes dairy products but not eggs, an ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs but not dairy products, and an ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and dairy products. A vegan diet excludes all animal products, such as dairy products, eggs, and honey.

Semi-vegetarian diets consist largely of vegetarian foods, but may include fish or poultry, or other meats on an infrequent basis. Those with diets containing fish or poultry may define "meat" only as mammalian flesh and may identify with vegetarianism. A pescetarian diet, for example, includes "fish but no meat".The common use association between such diets and vegetarianism has led vegetarian groups such as the Vegetarian Society to state diets containing these ingredients are not vegetarian, because fish and birds are animals.

So you should actually ask her what kind of Vegetarian is she? Fully Vege. or semi? Asking will not hurt. cooking something she holds sacred will hurt her to see on her plate and you will feel bad looking at her.

Vegetarians eat no meat (though some eat only chicken and/or fish, but there is a different name for it) and some will not eat dairy products or other foods that come from cow/pig/chicken/fish. You should ask her what she will and will not eat so you know for sure because everyone is different. If you make a cake, try to find a recipe with no eggs or use egg substitute.



Vegetarians do not eat any kind of meat. However, some vegetarians may be stricter and not eat foods such as gelatin and foods that contain animal rennet, it just depends on how much of a dedicated vegetarian your cousin is.



A vegetarian will consume animal by products such as dairy, eggs and honey but they will not eat ANY actual animal.



vegetarians do not eat anything from animals pork, beef chicken fish etc. but they only eat plants most of them eat vitamins so they get the stuff they dont eat in meat



A person who has a vegetable diet. They don't wear fur or eat meat. They join PETA who really kills animals.



No meat including:Beef or pork they might eat chicken or fish.



"Vegetarian" can be a vague term. Your best bet is just to ask her.
