I'll keep it simple: is it normal to be a vegetarian gourmand?

I take this to be, like Adolf Hitler has been, something of myself a gourmet, it's not that different a diet between the two (gourmand and gourmet) except the gourmands are selective in what food is good food personally to them, with Hitler, a gourmet and vegetarian (and therefore vegetarian-related), he was just as fussy an eater. I can't call myself a very good vegetarian or even a very good vegan (I decided on eating honey, honey is particularly good for you, and the other exception is fish and seafood, including shellfish but excluding cephalopods and decapods: no squid, octopus, lobster or crab of any kind, I know what's good), and I decided on iced tea without added acid in it, but only the freshly made one with hand-squeezed lemon juice which isn't acid but alkaline, and that's it, the other do's and don'ts in my 5 diets have been acted upon for a long time. Drinks of Eno (for stomach upsets) and anything like that, vegetables, dark leafy greens, lots of mushrooms and nuts, more pseudograins like buckwheat and quinoa, it's about what I digest not what I avoid, taking the model from Hitler who ate rather than avoided in his fussy diet. I think I said enough, as individual as my diet is is any vegetarian gourmandism normal?

    Hitler only claimed to be vegetarian in the very last years of his life. And even then his personal chef begs to differ.

    Gourmand = glutton.

    That's something to be proud of...

      Gourmand also = a luxurious eater; a gourmet, with a hearty interest in good food.

          It's not the same thing, gourmands in the olden days were confused with gluttons when they just liked eating good food, and they developed into gluttons although a gourmand is a lover of delicate fare. However more emphasis is on food than drink.

            Do any of your words actually register in your brain?

        I hope you are getting plenty of fiber!

          I don't need fiber, I get plenty of the required nutrients from fruit.
