Mr Shaw's Vegetable Goose

VegetarianArchivist    says:

Ah yes the Vegetarian Goose or Duck was very popular with the vegetarians of the time. I have a wonderful description of a dinner given in honour of Queen Victoria's birthday by the Melbourne Vegetarian Society in 1887. The omnivorous reporter didn't enjoy the meal much but thought it may have been better had he been able to obtain a piece of the vegetarian goose that was so quickly taken by other diners. Etiquette smetiquette, then as it is now, there's the quick and the disappointed!
