A little bit off-topic

This site says: "The Edible-nest, Indian Edible-nest and Black-nest Swiftlets weave a nest from strands of saliva: the male regurgitates a long, thin gelatinous strand from salivary glands under its tongue which is then wound into a half-cup nest which bonds like quick-drying cement to the inside of a cave wall. Swiftlet nests are (usually) carefully removed from the cave wall. The nests are relatively tasteless and so are usually served in soup or jelly, mixed with chicken, spices, sauce or sweets."

Well to each his own I guess. But here's my question... clearly we omnivores can eat this substance if we want. Can vegans? Lacto-vegetarians? How about ovo-lacto-vegetarians? This is something I have always wondered about...
