Worse, I have a friend in the apparently-Maryland tradition...uses seafood stock.

Really. Not only is it not vegetarian...it tastes awful and every year he's so proud of it as his wife (who is from California), her best friend (from Brooklyn) and me (from CT by way of Manhattan and a trained culinary professional) secretly scrape ours into paper napkins to be disposed of later. His parents tell him how much better it is than ever before and he goes on to think how he can improve something that needs to be ended forever.
