As a vegetarian why am I not surprised?
I once was given a deadly prawn cocktail starter at a conferecne dinner. I said (with a smile) ‘I’m one of the vegetarians, I don’t eat meat OR fish’. (another confusion that!) she said ‘well it isn’t meat or fish, its seafood and its the vegetarian starter’.
“You people” really do get on everyone else’s tits.
You weren’t made as a human being (probably) and given 32 teeth (some called canines and incisors), saliva, a bag of hydrochloric acid and six metres if intestine to eat grass.
If you don’t like being an omnivorous human being please go and become something else. That way you won’t need to share menus with real people.
Wise people don’t speak to vegetarians as vegetarians only have one neuron and it’s controlling their sphincters.
Only last week some friends and I decided to go out to lunch……
…………………………….
so you’re friends and you didn’t know she was vegetarian? Duh! and why did it impact on you anyway?
You see I would have no problem with a fish restaraunt….. chips and salad would suit me just fine.
However I’m so pleased not to have nasty-minded little friends like you in my circle of meat-eating friends!

I do not eat meat at all and this is not because I am a vegetarian as such.
It is because I simply do not like the taste of it,of any meat

This is the first interesting post on this item (apart from mine of course).
and if God had meant me to touch my toes he would have put diamonds on the floor.
But joking apart, why is it an issue? I’ve never preached it, I socialise with meat eaters and vegetarians and we all go out to eat together. If we have a barbie we cater for both same as with dinner parties.
I have however noticed that at any sort of fuction the veggie food goes first as the meat eaters suddenly have a wobble about food poisoning via the meat/fish dishes!
All of it ,taste,smell,texture BUT sometimes I feel like eating lamb and I do,not a lot though but it is lovely in the moment.In that case I go to a hallal.
It happens once in the blue moon though
I shared a kitchen with a veggie at uni halls of residence (many many years ago) .
He was one of those preachy types, I confess I took great pleasure in crumbling an oxo cube into his pot of marmite
To even the score we also had a preachy type Christian ( you know the ones who won’t SHARE a thing?) so we broke into her cupboard and added chilli powder to her ketchup and jam - tehehe
My next door neighbour was a preachy type - didn’t like loud music, so I’d put my favourite (neil Diamond) LP (remember them) on the record player (remember them aswell?) with the ‘arm’ left off, go out and lock my door. So the record would continually repeat until I returned to switch it off

I once ordered a vegetarian pizza in a restaurant. When it arrived, I looked suspiciously at the little red medallions that dotted the surface.
‘What are these?’ I asked the waitress
‘Salami’ - was the reply.
‘I don’t eat meat. I’m a vegetarian’, I told her.
‘That’s all right’, she said. ‘You don’t have to eat those bits. You can pick them off’
Gggrrrr !!!

Oh dear, the beefeaters have arrived, was it Beano or Dandy?

WooooOOOOO. Now that’s a bit of a hissy fit about something that really doesn’t impact on you at all Desperate Dan.
(Is that desperate as in : desperate for attention?)

I think some parents have more of a horror of their sprog being veggie than gay? Disparate Dan may be one?
June 29th, 2008 at 1:43 pm
do vegetarians eat grass???
June 29th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
In fact it does impact on our daily lives.
Only last week some friends and I decided to go out to lunch. We decided to go to a fish restaurant.
There were 12 0f us. Seven different nationalities, the waiter brought the menus. It didn’t take many seconds before someone said:
“Oh, but I’m a vegetarian…”.
And yes, SHE is AMERICAN !!!
P.S. I was quite pleased with the bit about the single neuron though.

June,
Would that be parent, veggie or gay?
As I’m the person who set the date for World Antihomophobia Day it can’t be the latter.

weird!!

DD , in your case parent.
But cows are veggie, and they were fed pellets made from meat/flesh and cjd resulted…..
June 29th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
Of course we knew she was a vegetarian.
We just didn’t tell her it was a fish restaurant.
That’s why you veggies are so much fun.

Don’t get variant now will you?
June 29th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Do you know why it is called “premenstrual tension syndrome”?
Because “mad cow disease” was already taken.
Yes, I know that it’s chronologically inaccurate but I still think it’s funny.
June 29th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Wildly inaccurate, we women have PMT down to an absolute fine art, the lifting of an eyebrow tends to clear the place…..

You don’t have PMT.
It’s definitely agoraphobia.

DD Nope its claustrophobia, unless I’m in a shoe shop
June 29th, 2008 at 4:15 pm
And what’s the problem? I often sling kidney beans and butter beans into my meat stews for my vegetarian guests.

If the lord god, in his infinite wisdom, did not intend us to eat animals he would not have filled them with meat

OK, so it’s not agoraphobia, it’s a foot fetish.
