Ok. Im not bothered with it (looks like I'm though). However, all the bile and sarcasm that my system can produce is spewed at those egg-consuming vegetarians who stay away from an egg on a specific day of the week like a Tuesday or a Saturday but relish it on other days.
I have met loads of such people. They eat eggs on a Monday, but will remain light years away from an egg on a Tuesday (because they are vegetarians, do you hear? They are not non-vegetarians).
You must ask them this:
Can you eat a cabbage on a Monday?
Answer: Yes, its veg.
Can you eat an egg on a Monday?
Answer: Yes, its veg.
Can you eat cabbage on a Tuesday?
Answer: Yes, its veg.
Can you eat an egg on a Tuesday?
Answer: No….I mean..You know…its like…..aa..uu..ummm….
The bottomline:
Egg is a veg food on a Monday, but turns non-veg on a Tuesday, returns to its veg classification on Wednesday, again turns non-veg on a Saturday.
Therefore, if they can have something which is both a veg and a non-veg food at the same time (let me remind you its the same egg which turns non-veg immediately the next day), can you call them vegetarians any more? Doesn’t this make them non-vegetarians?
Tell them this, and they will give you looks as if you’ve committed a blasphemy!
I think humans remain strict and authentic to their beliefs, but its the eggs which have split-personality disorders of being veg one day and turning non-veg the other day.
Kudos to the proponents of the Selective Vegetarianism Theory.

I never heard of this before. I am one of the egg eating vegetarians, but I eat egg on any given day. This seems strange.
hey ma big doubt is whether egg is a veg or non-veg....i feel its non-veg.. wht say???
@Harsha- yeah as many vegetarians who are eggeaterians as I've met discriminate between days. Im sure you are not one of them :)
@Sonal- I think egg is non veg, because I dont know of any plant which produces eggs, (im not talking of eggplant plants, or brinjal plants) :)
Nice to read your blog a new experience
