JD Salinger, famed author of The Catcher In The Rye, passed just weeks after his 91st birthday.

Publisher Roger Lathbury met with Salinger in the late 80s, asking if he could publish Hapworth 16, 1924.

The two had lunch together and The Washington Post says Salinger confessed to being “largely vegetarian.”

When Salinger recommended a soup with Parmesan, Lathbury said he was vegetarian.

Salinger answered, “I am largely a vegetarian,” and Lathbury told the Washington Post, “I didn’t know what that meant — sort of like saying, ‘I am a little bit pregnant.”

Was Salinger really a flexitarian?

Or trying to impress the publisher?
