No, Digger is just trolling here.

Vegetarian in both the UK and North America genereally refers to ovo
lacto vegetarianism. Sometimes in North America (particularly in French
Canada and the midwest) vegetarian is considered pisca/pollatarian,
which makes it a pain in the ass, but never has it gone the other way,
where vegetarian is considered vegan/strict-vegetarian.
