    Vegetarians

    I stopped eating meat last year but still would never describe myself as a vegetarian. It seems to be a label that has a lot of baggage attached to it as far as I'm concerned. Not eating meat is probably about the only pc box I tick - funny how people assume that if you are a veggie you must also tick all the other boxes too. Anyhow, this was all confirmed to me a couple of nights back when I went to a vegetarian supper at the house of a friend of my girlfriend. God, what ghastly people some of them were - they just sat around half the evening picking holes in each other's vegetarian credentials "...Well, Cressida, I don't know how you can possibly say that when you're only a Lacto - Ovo". Food was bloody awful too - all wholemeal & lentils. Yuck. Anyone here vegetarian?

      Vegetables are our cousins too.

        Yes and all my clothes are made from the finest fairtrade Peruvian hemp.

          This seems to happen EVERY time you go out Wurzel.

          Maybe you should just have a cup of tea and a nice bit o cake.

          Or maybe change your head.

              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.

                    I know. That's why I don't splurge loads of money on far flung exotic holidays because I know such folks would be there to ruin it for me! Benidorm's about the only safe bet for me.
