Is a dish made out of a sylvari considered vegetarian?

technically yes xD

That’s kinda relative.
It could be considered vegetarian from other races’ point of view, but generally it could just be considered as cannibalism.
Plus you gotta count murder since it’s a sentient species you’re talking about (Depending of course on which Sylvari you’d decided to kill and under what circumstances). :P

Those two aren’t mutually exclusive.

In this case they aren’t, in real life I have yet to see sentient plant complaining about it being eaten.
And of course, them not being mutually exclusive does not make it any better.

I’m not sure you understand what cannibalism means – it is eating one’s own species. Not eating something that is sentient.

It doesn’t but that wasn’t the question.

I’m well aware that cannibalism means just that.
However I’m not sure if there’s any expression for eating sentient beings in general and not just humans. Since we are so far the only ones considered sentient (except some eastern cultures who consider animals as sentient beings too) there hasn’t been need for any (until we come across some alien civilization).
So I just extended/modified the meaning of cannibalism a bit for this case.

To be a pedant, sapience is not sentience. We eat sentient beings all the time.

Sentience, sapience, self-awareness, consciousness, all commonly used under this similar meaning.
But by all means, as long as you know what I mean be a pedant if it suits you,.

LOL thats hilarious, i do love the sylvari the most of all the races

That depends on if a dish made of charr is considered the lion’s share.
