Okay, my glasses were on the fritz that day. The batteries died and the lense wipers weren't working.

Although I don't think of them as 'meat substitutes' any more, they're just veggie sausages, or veggie cutlets or whatever.

ditto - and very flavoursome they are too....

There will be veggies with the meat this weekend, if potato chips, potato salad, and baked beans count. And watermelon. And rolls, which are made from wheat, so they are a veggie also.

Okay, I've got an "Irish Stout" and an "Old English Ale" - both in 20 gallon kegs .... all ready.... (and cold).... [none of this warm malarky].

the thing is, I've never met an omnivore (myself included, during omni days) who didnt have moral superiority around food , it simply depends on regional and cultural factors.. for instance, here in melbourne it would be generally frowned upon to eat whale,cat,dog,monkey,koala and a bunch of others but these would all be ok in different regions, what vegans and vegetarians have done is gotten to the root of the objection to these and tried to establish a form of consistency rather than a hypocrisy that says "I'm gonna rub my meat in your face, right after you finish cooing over my cute new sausage dog (pun intended)"
anyone who finds vegetarians and vegans annoyingly morally superior could ask the question of what they consider to be taboo on their own menu.

I don't think most of us find the majority of vegetarians and vegans annoyingly morally superior... it's those that ACT annoyingly morally superior that get on people's nerves.

I generally don't care what other people do. There's not much I can do about it, and, truthfully, I've got so much going on in my life that I really Don't care nor have time to be bothered with other folks weirdness. I'm often amazed that people have the time to get in someone's face about something that has Nothing to do with them whatsoever.... don't they have families, lives, issues, jobs?? Maybe mine are just too much for me....

I still think most westerners for instance would kick up a fuss if their friends dinner party featured fried cat ...

Yes. I agree with Sparrow.

HansTWN · 07-01-2009, 05:25 AM

how about a carnivore recipe section, to get our minds off all those vegan treats in the other thread?
