What I consider edible is just a lot wider in scope than what she finds appetizing. In fact I have a large repertory of excellent vegetarian dishes since meat is normally a minor constituent of my diet. Right now I'm studying critter cuisine so that's what I've been mentioning.
Actually I consider cooking meat almost cheating because the critter has already done most of the work and there's not a lot left to do except not ruin it. Vegetarian cooking is more challenging and requires greater skill and planning.
I also realize that a day job gutting gophers for divination might not leave one salivating at the prospect of stewed carcass with entrail sauce for dinner.
