Vegetarians

[Mich the Tester]

This was just an annoying vegan who liked to bang their drum about being vegan and how awful we were for eating meat.

I bet they didn’t bang their drums very hard though. Their arms would break.

I used to work with a chap who claimed to have a medical condition that made him morbidly afraid of vegetables. In restaurants he'd have to insist that no veg was put on his plate or he couldn't eat.

Oddly, he didn't classify chips as vegetables, but a baked potato did count

Aren't most kids like that?

I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat meat morning, noon and night. I tend to eat meat occasionally but make sure it's fairly tasty meat from my local butchers.

And things like pork belly are very nice, so you don't have to fork out dosh on fillet steak the whole time. And I also like my steak raw, like tartare.

The problem is, and that's not saying any of the esteemed ladies and gentlemen here are, I too have met too many vegetarians that seem to use their "ism" as an excuse to make a great big fuss about themselves and then to use it as a platform to preach all sorts of rubbish all evening about the environment in order to make us feel guilty as we're tucking into some nicely seared chicken while watching them lap up a platefull of tasteless algae with a face that looks like a dog chewing a wasp.

I'm going to start going to dinner parties stating quite loudly I'm a carnivore and that if I see single vegetable on my plate I will unleash the full forces of hell on my guests and roar at how beastly these sagging, green instruments of the gods of diarrhea are.

Yeah, and for ages I thought vegans were Vulcans because they always looked so green, thin and unhealthy.

It's not because they're vegetarian, some people just can't help being sanctimonious arses regardless of what they eat.

I have a London mate who constantly badgers me about having 2 cars and accuses me of destroying the world for his 3 kids, he never stops to think that transport in Somerset isn't quite up to London standards or that he is contributing to the single biggest problem facing the world today by overpopulating the planet... He eats plenty of meat.

I did think about it seriously once. Then I saw this program about tigers going extinct and stuff, and I thought, if we ate tigers, there would be millions of them.
So I am doing my bit to preserve the endangered, chicken, turkey, cow, lamb, pig and crispy duck. It's the least I can do

oops, norrahe already did this idea.

The only vegetables I liked as a child were carrots, peas, runner beans and beetroot. The only animal I didn’t like to eat was, and still is, salmon.

Or have you ever thought about it from the other side

I was going to post that

Still, shows you have good taste

I am vegetarian and I enjoy every meal I lovingly prepare. I cook every cuisine under the earth and so far I have neve felt I am missing out on anything by not eating meat.

I'm not but the wife is, even though she'll eat beefy gravy made with the meat juices and pork stuffing at Christmas.

If you're ever in Rome you have to go here for a veggie gourmet treat.

This is an excellent vegetarian cook book, I've promised to take the wife to the restaurant one day.

No No No, In Rome Cabonara, trippa, coda, vongole.

In fact when I was a kid, there was never enough food to go around, we were always hungry. Two things I remember, its amazing what you will eat when you are very hungry, pigs trotters, tripe, fish head stew. and I never met a vegetarian in those days
