Through a weird happenstance (yes, I know I specialize in them), I work with not one, but two, vegetarians on my shift in my department. There are four people total on my shift. I get to see their approach to food up close and personal, so to speak, although probably not at it's most nutritious best ... the guy tends to order mixed cheese hoagies with hots on the side and fried mushrooms a lot. Often enough that when it's my turn to be the waitress (designated order taker and placer of the phone order) I just say, "Your usual, sir?" This occasionally gets changed up with grilled swiss and asparagus on rye (a frequent special at our most reliable restaurant), or 'shroom 'za. The chick usually goes for a cheese calzone or one of the meatless pasta dishes. At least once or twice a week they split a garbage-can veggie 'za. The guy keeps a couple cans of something bizarre (Big Mamma Bertha's Collard Greens, or something from the Indian Grocery of doubtful provenance) in what passes for the kitchen area, although I've never actually seen him eat any of these. They also order a lot of things involving tofu from the Chinese delivery restaurant.
