This is a pet peeve of mine -- there is no such thing as a semi-vegetarian. You either are a vegetarian or you aren't. Personally, and I'm sure I'll get slammed for this, I don't think "pesco" qualifies either. It bugs when someone thinks I eat fish or chicken because people are running around calling themselves vegetarians when they're really not -- "Oh sure there's a vegetarian option" and it turns out to be chicken. The fish thing doesn't bother me as much as the "semi" though -- if you eat chicken and fish, what do you possibly gain from calling yourself a semi-vegetarian?
As you may have guessed, I gave up meat because I'm a hippie liberal who loves the cute widdle animals. I never was a big fan of meat, so I don't miss it at all.
I haven't eaten meat for -- I don't know, 12 or 13 years now, so I'm out of the loop in terms of resources. I will say that Vegetarian Times is a great magazine, and the Moosewood Cookbook has a lot of great, basic recipes. I think the
Vegetarian Resource Group might be helpful, but I haven't looked at the site for a while.
