Egg Veg or Non Veg

[Pratiksha]

Inspired by our age old thread about mushrooms, I wanted to know if egg was veg or non veg?

Pardon me Premi bhai if I am repeating the topic. Searched EC but EC search engine is so powerful that it turns up nothing

non veg, it is the offspring of a live creature rather than dropped off a tree and it does not have roots or buds.


vegetable = vegetarian , of course exclusion is a human being who is a vegetable. you wouldnt eat that.
had to specify that. thank you.

Yes I too agree with you that it is non veg. But some of our ovo-lacto-vegetarians they promote that eggs are veg since eggs are not fertilized. I guess that is just a way to hide the fact that they are eating non-veg!

Heard of some Eggplant so surely egg must be vegetarian growing them

Does it matter, fertilized or non-fertilized

It all depends on what you call vegetarian. Is it only food that comes off of plants/trees? What about milk? What about bacteria? What about mushrooms? If all of these are vegetarian... then eggs are vegetarian.

What you throw a stone at and it doesn't run... what doesn't bleed when you cut it... what doesn't look at you with large round eyes... that is vegetarian

Yes but not everything that runs have large round eyes. That was my point

But Fish bleed.

So Saneless you are a ovo-lacto-veg ?

For all the egg lovers and bird watchers, I stumbled upon this beautiful site where you can read about the different birds and also learn about their eggs.

Fish have eyes and fish bleed and fish run when you throw a stone at 'em... so non-veg.

I am currently an ovo-lacto-veg... soon to be converting to ovo-lacto-small-animal-no-fish-funguy-veg

You might find interesting that some bengalis dont consider maach (fish ) as mangsho (meat)

my MIL does not eat chicken and mutton because they are non veg. but shrimp, lobster and fish are not mangsho, and that is fine.

dont know why?

Actually even here in USA some think that if you eat white meat (fish and chicken breast) then you can be considered as ovo-lacto-white-meat -vegeterian
