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.
