I'm a vegetarian too and I was just wondering if you eat chicken broth and beef broth.

Being a vegetarian is all about setting your personal limits. Some veggies eat eggs, dairy, fish, etc (myself included).
My rules for myself is that I don't eat anything in which the animal had to die for me to have it. This includes meat, fat (lots of gravys have "beef fat", etc), broth, etc. I still eat eggs (non-fertile, free range only... now from my own chickens) and I do eat dairy, although I do have guilt about that because while cows don't die to make milk... the veal industry is a horrible part of the dairy industry (babies born to dairy cows become veal).
But yeah... for anyone who is a true vegetarian, broth counts too. Makes it really hard to order soup... you pretty much have to ask. A lot of soups are vegetable based, but many are not (even if you'd think they are). I always read the label on everything I buy if it doesn't SAY vegetarian on the front. Even things like stuffing and rice-a-roni often have chicken fat, etc in a lot of their stuff (but not in certain flavors).

No, not if you dont want to "cheat". The "flavor" of chicken turkey beef etc. is all dehydrogonated beef chicken turkey etc.
Wich basically means a machine took out all the water from the meat then turned it into a grain like matter.
Also in chicken adobo's or sinigan you cant just drink the broth because it has detereiated meat in it!!!

People *can* eat whatever they like. Vegetarians *will not* eat any meat including poultry or fish. They also avoid products like gelatin and meat broths as these come from the flesh of animals.

It honestly depends on how strict you are upon yourself. As a whole, normally they (we) do not. Some still will, but the true definition of a vegitarian is nothing that is the animal. Broth, which is made from the meat of the animal is thus, not able to be eaten.

No, I don't eat meat of any kind or what is considered by some as their by-products.
For everyone who doesn't get this and says things like "It's just beef that's meat", then understand that the flesh of any animal is its meat. You can pretend all you want that eating chicken, fish, snake, grasshoppers, etc. isn't eating meat but it is. So if it's just beef that you're eating, or if you're eating any animal flesh, then don't go saying that you don't eat meat.

Of course not. It's made from the flesh of animals. We use vegetable broth.

I am piscatarian (vege whoo eats fish). If i am dining out and have choosen the soup, i always ask the waiter/waitress what stock they have used. It's surprising the amount of vegetable sooups(e.g leek and potato, carrot and coriander etc) that have chicken/ham stock through it, so if you eat those soups you have mentioned with meat stocks, you are not a vege.xx

I do! just chicken though! That's why I am afraid to call myself a vegetarian in public.

Nope. No by products or the real thing or it is not real vegetarian.
