Vegetarianism

[Zippy]

Onions and garlic are actually symbiotic organisms. There is a little creature, actually a type of earthworm that lives just under the bulb.
The worm extracts nutrients from the soil for the onion/garlic and in return gets a sugary treat.
Pulling up the onion or garlic results in the worm dying

On the plus side, cooking spag bol gets a lot easier.

Onions are poisonous to dogs. Perhaps the same applies to vegetarians.

Avocado is poisonous to most animals. Kills African species of Parrots within hours.

There's a theory that the avocado co-evolved with South American mega-fauna, and so to prevent other animals eating it developed a toxin that upset just about anything, but that the mega-fauna were not susceptible to.

I say, if that is the case then why not consider that it co-evolved with humans as they're not susceptible, but apparently the time scale isn't big enough.

If you're a carnivore: how do you react when presented with vegetarian food?

I eat it. Lots of Indian cuisine is veggie.

Once I realised as a teenager that lots of people from India where veggie and they cooked yummy food I had no problems with veggies who aren't your PETA militants.

Plus the people I hang around with who are veggie don't do that. They always provide a meat option even if they don't actually cook it or won't touch it.

Steak Tartare out of a plastic tub?

ClientCo's restaurant does tartare de cheval, but even if I'm so hungry I could eat a horse I'm not going to...

It is very nice though.
