Answer 1

That is something you have to reconcile with yourself.  I am not a vegetarian, but I understand those who are.  If it is a personal choice, you have to decide if you can live with it.  If you don't think you can eat pasta cooked in a meat sauce, then by all means, don't do it.

Answer 2

yes u did the right thing....

Answer 3

In answering your question, I don't think what you did was wrong but you're treading on a fine line when eating anything that contains traces of animal products, especially by your own will. Whether or not you've betrayed your vegetarianism is debatable and I'm going to be a fence-sitter on this one.

Answer 4

There is no rule book for vegetarians, you can do whatever you feel is right. It just depends on how strict you are with yourself. I think you're okay if you didn't eat the meat.

Answer 5

No dear. Vegetarians do not eat meat, fish, fowl, game or eggs; or the juices thereof. So to eat a sauce with meat in it is to eat meat. Plain and simple. Now of course you can do as you please but if you eat a meat sauce you are not eating as a vegetarian but as an omnivore which is different.

Answer 6

You should pick out the meat, then eat it.

Beef - its whats for dinner!

Loveage!! x:)

(im g*y)

Answer 7

There isn't something like a Bible with the rules for Vegetarians! XD :p

But, if you take it a bit, erm, in the physics way, while cooking taste from the meat did go to other places. Meaning, you still eat meat.

I refuse to eat anything that was cooked with meat or anything else I don't eat (I am a vegan! XD =]). =]
