Veggie Relapse

Besides, there's imitation sushi that's fantastic.

We've covered this on another thread though - if you want to test whether you are a veggie or not then for heavens sake dont start with burgers.

Giving up meat all at once is a bad way to become a vegetarian. You'd want to give up one type of meat at a time. Pork is usually the easiest to give up first... Once you start getting sick of red meat, and then chicken, and then fish, it's easy to eventually become a vegetarian and stay a vegetarian.

Then again, vegetarian are wimps compared to vegans -- or better yet, compared to people with bad food allergies. Casually eating out becomes a task -- and that's always a sad thing.

(Vegetarian for 8 years, and have less desire to go back to meat than ever before..)

that's really...depressing. if it's indeed true. not only because it renders his entire run on animal man completely...hypocritical seems strong, but...(it makes me seem like a crass fan circa 79)...yer greatest work = based on hardline ideology = you better walk it like you talk it? i smell another thread coming on... (it smells like couscous, not meat, in case you were wondering...) ;)

ASS, U, ME, etc.

What's the dilly with that?

But no pork means no bacon or sausages, the two tastiest forms of mammalian flesh known to humanity.

Whilst going through my usual morning routine, moaning, weeping, gnashing of teeth that sorta thing, I decided I'd try and improve this morning by having cereal. My wee heart leapt as I padded down the stairs in anticipation of my (probably someone elses actually) Crunchy Nut Whole Wheat Shreddies Krispies or whatever they were, with NICE COLD MILK. Open fridge. NO MILK! Arrrghh! Flatmate asks me why I am very sad. I weep bitter tears of lack of breakfast, go back upstairs and console myself with the saved calories. BUT THEY MEAN SO LITTLE COMPARED TO BREAKFAST CRAVING.

When I come back downstairs, I find flatmate has abandoned kitchen but left out some ham and some bread with instructions to "have a ham sammiche". The glee that strikes me! I make one vvvv quickly. I nosh on the way to the tube, and as you do, think about what you will have for lunch.

"Mmm this sammiche is yummy", I think.

"Shame I cannot have one at lunchtime because I am off... meat..."

.....

(oops)

However, I have learnt that I like the Burger King Spicy Beanburger. Giving up meat for that amount of time wasn't really hard - I can't say I missed it so much. But I rarely buy meat to cook myself anyway - I guess it would be EATING OUT that cause the problem.

Not sure how I would slip back, though free vouchers for Rick Stein's restaurant in Padstow would fuck me up.

It didn't. But then again, it only lasted two weeks. Dammit.

This might be a stupid question, but how would alcohol not be vegan?

i really should be more careful about drinking vegan wine though. it makes me feel kind of crap that my alcoholic tendencies overrule my ethical ones...
