Vegetarian

McCoy sat down at the table in the Enterprise mess hall where Spock was helping himself to a rather generous piece of...steak?

"Mr. Spock, I thought that Vulcans were strict vegetarians?" McCoy said.

"That is correct, Doctor," replied Spock.

"I thought you didn't even consume, eggs..." McCoy stared as the Vulcan sliced off a piece of very rare pink meat and put into his mouth. Was he imagining things, or had the hobgoblin actually relished that last bite?

"That is also correct," Spock replied.

"You're eating...steak," McCoy said it slowly, just to be sure he wasn't missing anything.

Spock raised an eyebrow. "Ostritch steak. I find it lighter, but with nearly an identical flavor..."

"But you just said you were a vegetarian!" McCoy protested.

Spock blinked at him. "If it comes from a replicator doctor, isn't it all vegetarian?"
