I have a nephew, from the side of my wife, 30 years old, lives in Moscow. Coming somewhere in the summer with his girlfriend to my grandmother, my aunt, then beat. And the girl with him is a convinced vegetarian, well, the tribe also became a vegetarian on this occasion.

My mother-in-law is baskirka, and almost all baskirsk dishes are fat and are prepared from meat. Covers on the table, neither grandson nor kәlәsh (bride) eat virtually anything, even the firm grandmother's bowl with pumpkin, meat and potatoes, not to mention mantles. The grandson explains to the grandmother:

Do you know we don’t eat meat?

Why is?

We are vegetarians and have decided to give up meat.

I have loved meat all my life.

I don’t eat it, it’s my decision.

Because of her?

Not my grandmother, I decided.

The girl stared angrily at her:

Animal protein can be replaced with vegetable protein.

How?

For example, mushrooms are like meat.

10 seconds think and give:

If the mushrooms were like meat, the wolf would eat them.
