> I mean, it’s not the fish eating, it’s the lying. His office repeatedly denied that he ordered fish and then he later admitted that he regularly eats fish at restaurants. If he’s willing to baldfaced lie about trivial stuff like this, what else is he willing to lie about? How is anybody to trust any statements coming out of his office after this?

I would like to selfishly bump up this thread today to be totally vindicated on this point despite nobody taking my words seriously.

All of you haters have now become waiters as I sit down at my table of success!

Never mind all that. I’m trying to figure out how drizzling lemon juice and apple cider vinegar on a slice of tofu and baking it on a piece of nori makes it taste and flake like a fish (post #15).

I have a friend who describes himself as an ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian. Really, he wanted to keep kosher without all the hassle of separate dishes and all. Of course, he eats only kosher fish (with fins and scales–no shellfish).
