I was responding specifically to your suggestion that "instead" of finding twists on dishes that are non-traditionally vegetarian, they should go with traditionally vegetarian cuisines. I don't see why people should constrain themselves like that instead of _both_ trying traditionally veg cuisines and vegetarian twists on cuisines they're already more used to. I grew up on all kinds of cuisine (my mom really liked cooking), and I'm equally capable of enjoying vegetarian meals that are traditionally so as I am of enjoying well-made vegetarian modifications to non-veg dishes. Your suggestion of ignoring one a big part of the cuisine space seems like a much more surefire recipe for recidivism than keeping both options open.
