I was there too, and a bit later, I talked to the
vegetarian's partner. His vegetarianism was basicly a
non-issue. He was an entertainer who didn't know he
was going to eat until the day of, and his
vegetarianism was limited to not eating meat-- he
could eat eggs, fish, poultry, milk, etc and I so
informed Adamantius.
