Awkwardarian

n. a person who is an awkwardarian
adj. of or relating to awkwardarianism or awkwardarians

An awkwardarian is a person who claims they are a vegetarian, but who does eat meat provided it's high quality, for example a Chateaubriand but doesn't eat some common meat-substitutes used in vegetarian dishes. For example, mushroom, avocado, beans, and artichoke are often used in vegetarian burgers, vegetarian lasagne or other meat dishes which have been modified for vegetarians. (Such offerings are typical of restaurants which are making minimal effort to include vegetarian-friendly options on their menu instead of coming up with quality vegetarian meals).

The combination of a lack of desire to eat meat or meals where a common alternative is a predominant ingredient means the awkwardarian significantly reduces their choices. A menu with several dozen starter and main meal choices can easily be reduced to just two options which are acceptable to the awkwardarian.

The awkwardness impacts the friends and family of awkwardarians who despite loving the awkwardarian, often find the choice of restaurants being whittled down, including eliminating some establishments which had some interesting meal options.

Dedicated awkardarians can reduce a Chinese (or Indian) restaurant menu (both of which often have considerable choice for vegetarians) down to just a few options.
The restaurant has an extensive menu but because they're an awkwardarian they could only find one meal they would eat.

We found eight interesting restaurants on holiday but because of the awkwardarian we could only eat at one of them.

The menu had a half dozen vegetarian meals on it but the awkwardarian wouldn't eat any of them because they all contained mushroom.

The place was fantastic, even the awkwardarian found four meals they would eat.

awkwardian

Awkwardian is a descriptor for someone who is known to be socially awkward in their unique form of eccentricity. These individuals, while obviously different, tend to be movers and shakers of the status quo. They don’t fit in, yet their presence can change the very landscape of society.

The term was coined by Jamie Bihl of Austin, TX on March 3rd 2014.
Awkwardians from across time would include individuals such as Mark Zuckerberg, Jimmy Fallon, Steven Tyler, Mozart and Picasso.
