@HebrideanHecate Funny familial anecdote time:
My half-brother went to study in the Soviet Union when he was young. I don't think he ever was a real communist of anything, but back then the opportunity was there and he took it.
When he left, he was a vegetarian, because of course he was.
However, apparently the only (!) easily available vegetable over there was cabbage.
After a couple of months, he was very effectively cured of vegetarianism.
