Norman Van Aken & John Harrison’, “The Great Fruit Book”, 1995 was the topic of an earlier blog post.

Amy Cramer & Lisa McComsey, “Seagan Eating”, 2016 was also the topic of an earlier blog post.

Here I present: Jill Norman, “Exotic Fruits: Unusual Fruits from Around the World”, 1992.   Fruitarian is one of the five (5) types of vegetarian diets listed BELOW.   Japanese cuisine is heavily influenced by Buddhist  cookery; as such, Japanese an ocean nation eats “rice” with “fish”.   

‘Seagan’ is a vegetarian diet by “island peoples” that includes some fish (example “shirasu” fish shown BELOW).  In English “shirasu” a Japanese word is called “whitebait” fish.

The consumption of fish is twelve (12) pounds per capita annually in India. This fish is largest “meat” eaten by the India vegetarian nation.  Most people in India eat “freshwater fish” and still consider their diet “vegetarian”.  The amount of twelve (12) pounds per capita annually of fish is low on a global scale.
