Vegetarianism and fish

[Lee909]

I was always lead to believe in school that fossil fuels (coal, oil etc) was essentially fossilised dead animals and plants.

 

If this is the case shouldn't vegans who don't use any product that comes from an animal (leather, meat, milk etc) boycott it as well?

 

Discuss.

 

No they shouldn't,these animals died and were buried,decomposing into fossil fuel.They were not killed for fuel.

 

 

I have no issue with the need for a veg alternative at BBQ or when going out.If anyone thinks veggie food is boring or bland they are eating the wrong foods.Some of the best foods I have had are veggie foods.The issue is people not knowing what to cook and they end up with the safe Goats cheese and onions or stuffed peppers when if you look at Indian and other foods from Asia you will find great veggie foods.

Out of interest I didn't eat meat for just under a year a while ago and enjoyed the change.

Where's the,'my bird hasnt ate my meat for ages but wolfs down burgers like its armageddon' reply?

Interesting. I don't know any Vegans myself but if a cow died naturally I wonder if theyd be object to wearing shoes made from them.

Maybe someone should open a butchers selling food of animals that have died by *accident, a pig that was knocked over by a tractor or a cow that fell off a wall. (Bob Monkhouse)

This.

 

I eat meat but not a huge amount, and I usually stick to chicken and fish but I think if I had a reason to knock them on the head and go veggie I could. I don't eat meat 3 or 4 days a week on average and those veggie days are often some of the best tasting food I eat. If nothing else, it has made me a better and more versatile cook.

 

Vegans piss me off because they are so self-righteous but I have no problems with veggies as long as they don't try and convert others - that is annoying as people who go on about how they are carnivores and try and convert vegetarians.

 

I'll tell you what, you rarely see an obese vegetarian.

 

I just have one rule, with regard to food: Never eat something you've just fucked

[aiyic]

...are not the same thing.

I have, chips and chocolate diet. But mainly they're frail and grey, like a ghost.

[sparta7]

Vegetarians are shifty and can't be trusted 100%

 

My Mrs is veggy and shes ace.

 

I've showed her your post, she is going to come to Tom Rossville and kick your miserable carnivorous arse from here to Christmas time.

 

So there.

[sparta7]

I know people who since the BSE thing the other year see vegetarianism as just not eating red meat, which is daft, given that fish and poultry were animals last time I checked.

[aws]

A bit harsh expecting sharks to eat vegetables.

[Gav]

For some people being a 'vegetarian' is their way of gaining attention and being treated differently. You have a small party and of course (insert name here) is coming, we'll have to make a vegetarian alternative. You want to go out in a group, but hang on, (insert name here) is coming, we will have to find a restaurant that does a vegetarian alternative. Don't even get started on a bbq, just don't invite them. Then someone brings a new partner and oh, they're vegetarian, we didn't know we're very sorry. How about a meat alternative for normal people?

 

The answer of course is just don't invite the picky bastards, they're probably to weak to come anyway and who wants to sit there all night being told how evil you are eating dead animals. Besides have you caught a whiff of a veggies fart?

 

Not eating meat doesn't make you weak..quite the opposite actually.Im 6 '4 ,18 stone and believe me ,I'd crush the guts out of you if so inclined. I haven't eaten any form of red meat in over 20 years.I'm not a veggie however .My BBQ's are ace becuase people get real food rather than boring ribs,sausages or burgers...I'll cook all that shit just to make sure the whinging worried bout their sexuality meat eaters don't bitch and moan but most people at my BBQ's enjoy the array of seafood I cook

Bang on..hate going to resturaunts and seeing the usual stodgy pasta or goats cheese shite on the menu...resturaunts (some) have no imagination

Non meat eaters have got it pretty shit in my eyes. Not in that they miss out on meat, are weak, double standards on fish eaters, etc, etc, *insert tired old arguments and all that bollocks.*

 

Trying to eat out as a non meat eater is fucking shit, as is all the hassle of looking at processed foods to see if they've sneaked some gut lining or crushed up bone or what the fuckever in there.

 

There quite a few veggies/vegan mates of mine down here and they never seemed left out at a bbbq*. They bring their stuff, often cooked either first or on a seperate grill/bbq. Where's the harm? Good on them, they eat healthier than me, so it can't be all bad.

 

Fakey meat things, i.e. veggie sausages or mushroom burgers don't really appeal to me. But then again, they are a tiny proportion of what you could/can eat as a non meat eater anyway. I've eaten them, I will again, but to making something non meat like look, well meat like, seems a bit pointless to me. But then again I suppose how else are you supposed to package/prepare it? I can't say even with that I could get anyway really arsed about it, but when there are bigger bbq crimes like smearing good food with so much sauce you can't fucking taste it anyway.

 

I tried being veggy for a month. it wasn't for me. Too much hassle, I missed meat and I actually put on weight due to over compensating with protein, my fault I'm sure i'd get the hang of it. I'm not sure why some have to be arses about non meating eating to others and visa versa. My old job brought me into contact with meat and poultry rearing and slaughter industries and all that it entails. Beleive me, its not great, but I'm good with it and can live with it; and would if necessary slaughter and butcher my own meat. I'm fucking glad I don't have to or think about it everyday though.

I'm tired of people hating on my peoples yo, I will create the Vegetation Proclamation and I shall lead my lentil eating brothers to the promised land, can you hear me my brothers? Quorn sausages for all, let's dance!

I love seafood ,most types so I always use that as my back up if we go out somewhere but I much rather to go 100%veggie for the night if the menu is good.What you described above has for the most part been the case but that is changing......slowly.im finding more and more resturaunts are taking vegetarian food more seriously and thats a great thing in my mind

Apart from tasting attrocious ,I just don't get the point of them ...But everything else is bang on the money ...lead on

 

Incidentally,me and the kids had a fantastic homemade vegetarian Alá King for lunch

 

1 Onion,1 Red pepper, garlic,some quartered mushrooms, and some halved Mange touts in a creamy white wine sauce with rice...divine food

[lifetime fan]

New thread, same arguments on both sides.

 

My opinion remains the same...I love meat and could never be veggie, I do love veggie food though. Just not when it has fake meat in it.

 

Great veggie food is that, full of vegetables...not pretend mince, sausages, burgers and fucking 'bacon rashers'.

[Bjornebye]

girl i know is a vegetarian. or so she claims. I know for a fact she swallowed my 'mate Dave's' cock in the blue-coates grounds at xmas time. took her less than 2 minutes apparently....

You're not doing them right.

[Captain]

Whale is the best fish. Mmmmm.

[Gav]

Theres no such thing as "The best fish"...every fish has different qualities..Whale is indeed tasty,as is shark but thenagain so is every other fish from Sole to John Dory to Snapper to mackerel

[Captain]

It was a pisstake, Gav. If there is one thing whale isn't, it's the best fish.

 

It's a mammal.

 

PS! Whale is still very tasty, though!

[VladimirIlyich]

Whale is the best fish. Mmmmm.

 

Whale isnt a fish,its a mammal.:whistle:

[RJ Fan club]

All fish is good. Except trout and tuna. Weirdly I think they are 'too fishy'. I accept my food awkwardnesses are a bit stupid.

 

I nearly had whale in Iceland but the other half moaned about that and puffin.

 

I will pretty much eat anything fishwise though. Sea urchin, jelly fish, roes, crustaceans, had amazing sushi in Japan, just can't take to trout and tuna.

Freshly caught tuna is out of this world, a big tuna streak quickly grilled with a bit of teriyaki sauce is mouth watering.
