Title: Vegetables that aren't
Post by: Marley's Ghost (Imbiber of Spirits) on March 04, 2014, 09:15:06 AM
Following some postings in the good morning thread, it seems that there are a few odd contenders for the vegetable kingdom.

For example, Steve confessed to having an egg for breakfast the other day.

My daughter (since cured by bacon) when a vegetablist, was happy to eat fish and her grandfather (on her mother's side) considered both fish and chicken to be vegetables whilst proclaiming his good self to be of the vegetablist persuasion.

Any others any one?








P.S. This is not a pop at Steve

I'll confess to anything giving enough thumbscrews or inducements

If we want to be serious then AFAIK 'vegetablist' isn't a recognised term just an amusing Clarksonism.  A 'vegetarian' is usually said to be someone who won't eat any meat or fish but there are so many grey areas - like Trebor Mints, Parmesan and Guinness.  Vegans won't eat eggs or cheese or Quorn, I do.  Anyway IMHO anyone that wants to be a food Nazi should go get a life - if they're lucky they'll be on special offer at Argos.

[/serious]

As for Nick's stew it must be a WMD by now and we should consider preemptive strikes

But it is a bit of a nightmare though isn't it when someone says they are a vegetarian  and they are coming for dinner  evil:

But then everyone has Foods of Wrongness I s'pose whatever diet they have  rubschin:

Solution is just to feed thyself what thy likes and stuff the rest of them  :thumbsup:

All I can say is our friends don't seem to have trouble feeding us but then we're not the sort to do an audit on every ingredient in what we get fed.  If it's cheese we'll assume it was OK, if it's wine or beer we'll just drink it unless we know (sadly Guinness has fish in it)

And when we do Christmas or a BBQ we cook meat for guests.  Life's too short to be a Nazi
