If we have friends over, and decide on an Indian takeaway. We might order two vegan mains, two meat, and two vegan side dishes are shared between all of us. What's your term for that?
Given the site's market and the story, semi-vegan seems a reasonable compromise to describe many takeaway orders.
- mytailorisrich 7y ago> What's your term for that? Why should there be a specific term for that? You're describing an order that is neither vegan nor vegetarian. It's no different from a "normal" (for lack of a better word) meal consisting of a salad followed by a steak and chips.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoMost places have a far wider, and more creative set of vegetarian and vegan options than only a decade ago. Indian takeaways have had the wider range far longer, of course. Not that TFA mentioned either, but semi- seems a helpful shorthand to me, to describe changing habits, as we increasingly don't want meat every meal. Even if most people choosing those meals probably never think to describe themselves as semi-vegan yet. :)
