   I see. It reminds me of a dialog line from a British horror   
   story, where a woman excalims "I forgot he was vegeterinan!",   
   when she realies she has prepared no vegetaranian meal for her   
   new acquaintance, who, by all means, is vegetarian still. I think   
   it is from Ramsey Campbell's "The Doll Who Ate his Mother."
