The Times discovers growlers (and selectarians)

[Laurence Horn]

You'll recall our discussion last summer on "(rushing the) growler",
prompted by James Harbeck's post:

This update on growlers is from yesterday's Times dining section:

 From the same section, there's a self-reference to a "selectarian":

Several prominent American yoga teachers like Ana Forrest and Bryan
Kest have recently acknowledged eating meat. In an example of how
yogis have adopted the language and ideology of foodies, Mr. Kest
calls himself a "selectarian," one who chooses everything he eats.
===================

..as opposed to those promiscutarians who just find a mess o' food on
the table and dig in, regardless.
