Vegetarian
Not all Tau are vegetarian though
Elemental Council:
Orr’s nasal chasm wrinkled. ‘You partake of cooked meat?’
Nobledawn kicked a stool out for him. ‘Not all of us are vegetarians. Sit, Orr’es.’

Him not eating meat (at least when circumstances allow) is fine. Him WASTING FOOD is...not, methinks.
If O'Shen doesn't eat meat, why was it served to him? Who's the cook, a Kroot? Because I bet even Mara wouldn't the kind of meat a Kroot would serve.
Mara cooked that because she didn't know!
I’m just waiting when Mara eats with her Fire Caste Friend, and he’s eating meat which would confuse or delight Mara that her Fire Caste Friend eats meat.
앜ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Woah! Down girl, no friendly fire.
Most cultures with dietary restrictions will wave them if there's a significant risk of death from starvation. A Rabbi and an Imam will both eat pork in a survival situation. Jains, I believe, only allow those who are already dying to starve themselves to death, to avoid hurting other living things. The Tau are fairly pragmatic, in many ways. I suspect any of them would eat meat, even if only as a temporary measure for some of them, to avoid starvation on a colony world.
Yeah I imagine that's why there are more mentions of the Fire Caste eating meat, since supplies can run low on the battlefield And while O'Shen is technically a vegetarian, I'm sure he's eaten meat a few times when circumstances demanded it.
Love it. "Walk a mile in my shoes, then let's see if you feel the same."
Wonder how often Imperials (especially a former hiver like her) get to eat meat that isn’t corpse starch.
I would assume that rats, and other similar vermin, probably play a significant role in their diet.
For once, Mara is unquestionably in the right for her behavior. Water Caste seem to get the liberty to eat whatever they choose, boots on the ground in endless battle eat whatever they can get, because their next meal isn't guaranteed due to issues with getting supplies, or not getting time to eat.
Just wait till Shen hears about Cornstarch...
I love this type of disconnect. Really shows another side of things.
