What is important to bear in mind is that being vegetarian in the 70s and 80s, and having a normal social life, wasn't so easy as it is now. Most restaurants didn't have vegetarian options on their menus. The exceptions were very few wholefood 'hippy' vegetarian restaurants, Italian restaurants with pizzas and pastas, and Indian restaurants with vegetable curries. In the early 80s we started going on normal holidays, and grew to love the Greek islands. I also grew to love Greek restaurant starters such as tsatsiki, dolmades, eggplant, zuchini, with Greek bread. Then there was the borderline taramasalata made from fish roe. But when it came to restaurant main courses, it was meat or fish. So on our second Greek holiday we started eating fish. Going back to eating meat took longer, but by that time our lifestyle had very little premie involvement, and I could no longer support not eating meat to myself, or in discussion with others.I now love eating meat, and I have become a reasonable cook, so know how to prepare it.
