THE VEGETARIAN MEAL Where vegetarian meals are served in courses, the parts are usually fitted into an unchanged pattern: soup, main course, salad and dessert. Many vegetarian cooking books have imposed this old structure onto the vegetarian diet and try to find a meat substitute.

It is a rich and varied cuisine, full of many marvelous dishes with definite characteristics, not the imitation of anything else. There are many ways to arrange a vegetarian menu. It need not be the slave of the traditional pattern, though this arrangement seems fitting and useful. It can also consist of several equally important courses or several dishes served at once. 93. How many courses are there in a vegetarian meal? A. one B. two C. three D. four 94. What does the word meat substitute in bold mean?
