I did a few months pescatarian last year, felt good and enjoyed it.  Fell off the wagon during the first lockdown and haven't gone back to it since.  Was becoming a pain having to cook meat for 2 and none meat for 1 and I cracked with a PeriPeri chicken. 

 

The alternatives are getting better and better, those Viva kebabs are easily better than 90% of actual kebab meat.

They're ace.  I tried their "steaks" once but they were a bit shit.  Their take on the bacon lardon is good for pasta etc too

This is what the meat industry is up to in NZ, and we’re way ahead of the game.

Veggie? I wish. She's vegan mate. A whole other realm of shit to deal with.

The most annoying thing about vegans, and they can be really fucking annoying, is that they are probably right.

My brother in law is a meat eater, his wife is strict lacto vegetarian. Happily married for 15 yrs. However, you’re right - your situation would be interesting. 
 

My Mrs happily lets me explore away - I’ve gone from Low Carb to Vegan, to Keto, and back to low carb, all within 3 yrs. She’s vege except for chicken. I was WFPB Vegan for nearly 5 months after trying a Veganuary, but honestly, I didn’t feel ‘right’. Should I have given it more time? Possibly, but my gut feeling was, it wasn’t the best for me.

They don't tell the animals, silly. They lure them into a shed with promises of birthday cake and cuddles, then BAM, steaks.

As I have never eaten meat fake meats holds no interest to me, I think I would still find looking at it and smelling it gross.

Ox sort of mentioned this today, says that Nat Phillips has benefited significantly from going Vegan.

I think I could could quit meat quite easily. I'm tempted to try it once I've used up all the meat I have. I can't ever see myself going vegetarian or vegan though. Giving up dairy products is a step too far for me personally. Genuinely think I'd struggle to even do 24 hours as a vegan!

I had this for the first time the other day, it was actually not bad at all for a bacon substitute. Any I've had before had been absolutely shite. 

 

[TheHowieLama 10,729]

There is no substitute for bacon.
