Vegetarian

We chat over dinner every night. Sometimes we listen to music. Sometimes we don't. But we always chat.

Venus can be a bit minimalist about her food at times. Tonight while she was tucking into her naked pasta with cheese she asked us what a vegetarian is.

We explained that a vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat meat. We talked about vegetarians, carnivores and omnivores. We listed all the foods that vegetarians like to avoid. She listened carefully and nodded in all the right places.

And then she said "I don't eat soup. I must be a soupatarian."

So it seems we have a soupatarian in the family. I should have asked her what the word is for someone who will eat anything as long as it's smothered in sauce. Then I'd know how to refer to her big brother.
