Most "vegetarians" are not strictly herbivorous; they will usually
eat some animal products, e.g. milk or eggs.  Those who eat the former
are called lactovegetarians, those who eat the latter are called
ovovegetarians, and those who eat both are lactoovovegetarians (such
as myself).  In addition, there are people who call themselves
vegetarians who will also eat fish or poultry.  I think the former
could be called "piscivegetarians", as in pisciculture or pisciform,
but what would the latter be called -- poulevegetarians?  Are there
generally accepted names for these "vegetarians"?
