Are you a vegetarian?

A couple of weeks back, I was leafing through a menu at a vegetarian Italian restaurant. A bit of trivia on the inside flap - the word vegetarian has nothing to do with vegetables (at least that's what I thought until then). The word vegetarian comes from the Latin word vegetus, meaning 'whole, sound, fresh, or lively'.

Maybe it's just me getting excited knowing this bit of trivia.
