Too salty?

Or cheesy. One can never tell until the dish arrives...

I draw the line at eating their meat and two veg though...

Not true I know a lot of people who will not eat meat as a matter of principle but will happily consume other diary products - generally where the animal is not killed during the process - so cheese, eggs milk etc are on the menu.

Vegans obviously do not consume any animal products.

I wonder - if the bomb dropped and it was eat rat meat or die the vegans would prefer death?

I personally think it is highly unlikely.

You mean, found places that cater for *them*.

If you fancy a burger, or a steak, you're out of luck. Even if they have a vege option, it's rare that vegetarians in the group actually want to eat it. They'd rather go to some wanky vegetarian cafe.

Nope - not our experience. I think this says more about you and your mates than it does the general population.

That's a vegetarian then. Not a vegan.

It's actually not. Just having a plant based diet doesn't make you a vegan. It the whole lifestyle around not being associated with animal products.





Yes it is. Being a vegetarian is purely about diet.

Eating a vegan sandwich is vegan. The rest just seems to be some funny ideas that might differ from my funny ideas.

How about eating a veggie burger from Mcdonalds? Is that vegetarian?

Wife and I have more mates who are vege/vegan than not and we never have any problems. Traveled to loads of countries with them and always found places to eat that cater for all of us.

All the parties I have are BBQs at my gaff, they're pretty good except that one time we had to stand around and bbq some vegetarian 'burgers' for someone before anyone else could eat, because we weren't allowed to put them on the bbq grill after meat had touched it :eyeroll:

Re above, there's different types of veganism, if you're an ethical vegan then you're against the industry not just against eating it yourself. It really does get worse for everyone else than keeping quiet and avoiding eating meat...

Oddball. You're probably the sort championing him as a hero.

Really? Care to point out where I have either praised or criticised him? I have no view on him coming out, or how he and his wife choose to live their lives.

Supporting a company that makes it's money out of selling meat products. Not very vegan really.
