LOL! I hear ya' on that! There was something (can't remember the dish) they used to serve on the ship called "♥♥♥♥♥ on a Shingle". It was VERY appropriately named!

And you're right, the cooks would take offense if you didn't want their wonderful "food".

Anyway.... I really need to start exploring all the cooked vegetarian dishes out there. So far, I've basically been eating 100% raw -- fruits, salads, oatmeal, nuts, seeds & a variety of cut up veggies. I'm sure it will get a little more exciting once I start looking for all the vegetarian products available at the supermarket.

My only concern with that is I think you can pretty easily fall into the trap of eating "processed" foods even though they are labeled vegetarian and presumably healthy for you.

I just downloaded the free PDF from veggie123.com which looks like it has a lot of practical advice on how to stick to a veg*n diet.
