Vegetarians

[DaveB]

Yes, that's what has put me off being meat free in the past. Whenever I've previously dabbled I always seem to have been pushed in the direction of health foods. This time round I've treated myself to a deep fat frier so I can do deep fried mushies in breadcrumbs with garlic mayo. Not to mention deep fried brie.

If I was ever going to go veggie then I think I'd probably end up eating nothing but indian food. All the best veggie dishes I've had have been Indian or indian inspired.

Definitely agree. I had a friend in Hackney who was from an Indian familiy and they cooked the most fantastic, spicy homemade vegetarian food.

I had a few Asian flatmates at uni, most of whom were vegetarian and they made some wonderful dishes.
I always got them to order for me when we went out for a meal.

If the carnivore menu is uninspiring I'll often take the veggie offering.

I was a veggie from 16 to 26, I'm now a confirmed carnivore.
My 9 year old daughter gave up meat last summer - cos she likes animals, so I'm doing a lot more veggie cooking at home and am rather enjoying it .
Although, I'm training Pogle Jr to say "I don't eat meat" and NOT "I'm a vegetarian" as for some reason announcing that you're a veggie does tend to get some peoples backs up and they have a bit of a go, but just saying you don't eat meat doesn't have the same effect.

Carnivore here personally. However, the only things I do avoid are internal organs, like liver, kidneys, etc. (Plus most fish. The only seafood I do enjoy are prawns, with the occasional bit of cod)

Tearing the flesh off is fine, and makes me feel like a lion.

Chowing down on the liver makes me feel like Hannibal Lecter.

I know. sometimes it's better not to think about what you are actually doing.
I like eggs, fried, scrambled, boiled you name it

I'm just braising some chuck (beef) now, in bockbier. Shall leave it to stand for a night and gobble it up tomorrow. Mmmm yum yum.

My worst dinner party the guest list consisted of one lactose intolerant, one gluten intolerant, one with egg allergies, one with fish allergies and a vegan.

I win! My wife successfully catered for a party with:
- one egg & apple allergy;
- one gluten "intolerant" nuisance;
- one genuine poor sod with Coeliac disease;
- a handful of pseudo-vegetarians ("I'm strictly vegetarian except for milk / eggs / dairy / fish / white meat / bacon, obviously / Sunday roast / the occasional steak which has to be rare, obviously" / when it's not me paying")
- one who had been to a "alternative lifestyle consultant" and had been ordered off chocolate, alcohol except red wine, coffee, wheat and semen;
- one "I used to only eat organic but since the supermarkets got on the scene I'm biodynamic";
- one Moslem;
- one strict orthodox Jew;
- one vegan;
- one whiny German ("Everysing in siss country iss so bard for you").

I'm a carnivore so I went without and just got pissed instead.

We don't see many of those people any more. Especially the whiny German.
