Are you vegetarian?
Part One
A conversation between a non vegetarian Malay girl and a vegetarian Indian girl.
Malay: If you’re vegetarian, does that mean you can’t eat eggs?
Indian: Yup… Cos we consider eggs to be a living thing… Or part of a living thing…
Malay : <ponders silently and then….> What about ikan bilis?
Part Two
A conversation between a Malay girl and Indian girl (both non vegetarian) in a vegetarian restaurant.
Indian: Why don’t you try the ribs… They taste exactly the same like pork, but you can eat them…
Malay: <Reluctant> No lah… I think I’ll try the roast duck…
Indian: <Serious tone>Oh yeah… Cos you normally can’t eat them can you… Haiwan dua alam…
Part Three
A conversation between a Malay girl and Indian girl (both non vegetarian) discussing potluck dishes
Indian: Tomorrow, I’ll bring vegetarian chicken so you can have a taste of them
Malay: Vegetarian chicken? Is it any good?
Indian: Yeah!! Taste like the real thing, but it’s vegetarian lah…
Malay: Ooh…… <ponders silently and then…> But how do they make sure that the chicken doesn’t
eat anything other than vegetable?
Note: All these conversation actually took place….
