World Vegetarian Day *Fri 1st October*

Konata

So! Friday is World Vegetarian Day whoop! Nom nom vegetarianism

Anyway, I was thinking - how about everyone (or realistically, a few people ) give vegetarianism a try and go meat free all day Friday? You don't have to become a vegetarian or anything but in honour of the day, why not give it a shot? One day without meat shouldn't be too difficult!

So, who is with me? If you're already veggie, as I know a fair few of us are, how about cooking a dinner for your housemates or family or something that day? Show them the awesomeness of vegetarianism?

Vegetarianism has no honour!

Is bacon a vegetable?

If so I may give this thing a go.

Im sorry, but i couldn't do it, im pro meat you see, its discrimination to us humans not to be allowed to eat meat

From this point on I'll be deleting any posts that I feel are made only to spoil the thread.
This will be done with extreme prejudice :cool:

Is eating vegetarian fake-meat food healthy? I don't mean that to sound mean or anything I'm genuinely curious 'cos my brother always eats Linda McCartney and Quorn stuff and it smells yummeh.

They fact they've described it was 'suprisingly tempting' is a bit worrying... :pac:

I've actually been thinking of going veggie for a while anyway because I basically don't like meat. Hmmm...

jefreywithonef

I've eaten meat only a handful of times in the last month so I suppose I could become a veggie without much struggle. Unfortunately I don't really care about meat or vegetables. :P

Jamie Starr

95% of my dinner will probably be animal-free on Friday, because I don't actually like meat that much.

Then again, I don't like eating vegetables much either- I hate the taste of the ventilator.

Insect Overlord

Does anyone have any simple recipes for lunches and dinners?
I'd like to try this on Friday, and maybe carry it through until Monday.

OopsyDaisy

I love my meat I do...

But I suppose I can go one day without it :P

It's getting far too obvious that you're doing this on purpose tbh >.>

What?

A cheese and tomato based pie and a hops and alcohol based drink. I think I could manage that.

You're all sick people

You're ruining the veggie thread

*glares at Pygmalion*

I like the Quorn stuff, tastes great actually, so much so, that I believe that it is in fact meat, and the people who make it are sitting up in their big fancy building looking down and laughing at the veggies of the world who think they're eating, uhm, not meat :P

soccymonster

Put it as my fb status to try and get the same message across, kinda :P
Although everyone is just replying with "mmmmm, im gonna eat a nice bloody steak friday!"

Aaaahh well, I tried

Insect Overlord

I think I might have just talked my mother into going veggie this Friday too.

Does the "fat" on their streaky bacon pictured have the consistency of actual bacon fat? And if so, why? The rest of their stuff looks alright but that just looks disgusting.

It's just too shiny/smooth to look nice.
I'm aware that has little/nothing to do with taste, but ewwww.

Pigwidgeon

I did it for 5 years. Suppose I can go back for a day without it killing me.

Ginja Ninja

I'm fairly carnivorous, but sure why not?
I'll probably give this a run, I've time to actually cook a dinner on friday so it shouldn't be make much difference

but for now.....nomnomnom food with a face

Banjo Fella

I don't really eat all that much meat anyway, as my diet mostly consists of sugar, bread and dairy products. An unhealthy death awaits me all so soon, I know. But anyway, yeah, I'll definitely give this a go! I've been flirting with the idea of going veggie for several years now as meat occasionally disgusts me, so this could be a good opportunity to see how I feel about it in practice.

soccymonster

My friend told me he made a present for me for tomorrow to celebrate me :pac:

And I've convinced my family to not eat meat tomorrow :P
Even my dad!

Insect Overlord

I know what I'm making for dinner tomorrow (epic stir-fry!), but I doubt my brother or sister will eat it.

Who wants to recommend something nice for lunch?

I'm not going to delete that post, on the grounds that Conor108's sig is freakin' awesome.

D4RK ONION

I whole heartedly approve of this moderator decision.

Grindylow

I was about to post 5 minutes ago saying I hadn't ate meat yet today.


Then my mam bought me a chicken roll.

Namlub

Bad form noel, bad form

My mother's doing cauliflower for dinner. For once her awful cookery is a good thing

phlegms

I celebrated by having a 3 egg omelette with bacon for Brunch. Soz, will try harder for dinner..

seanbmc

I'm too late to this thread, I had a burger for lunch .

Bobalicious93

To add to the list of losers (or winners, can't quite decide..), I just had a chicken curry...

ihavequestions

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I thought today was Thurs

soccymonster

I found this extremely interesting.
Any more of an incentive to turn veggie like! :pac:

jefreywithonef

Haven't eaten anything all day besides some cheese toasties but I'm very tempted to go get some tinned fish.

I had two burgers yesterday. Forgot about that vegetarian deal.

Fad

Had half a pound of meat at about 4 in the morning......

A packet of popcorn at 3.

Then the meatiest sandwich ever at about 7.

The meat was eaten out of spite....... >_>

But yeah, I need some form of regularity when it comes to eating

Piste

the only meat I had yesterday was some chicken on a pizza. Din't know it was world veggie day tho.

It's not really publicised like Valentine's Day or St Patrick's Day

Piste

I was wondering why I got no cards.

msbrightside

I didn't eat any meat yesterday. I'm oddly kind of proud of it..

Don't think I'd stick it as a vegetarian yet though, as my mum still makes my dinner I don't want her to have to make a second meal just for me (I doubt she would in the first place though!)
Yeah, I know I could make my own dinner but I'm laaaazy.:p

But going without meat for one day wasn't as hard as I thought anyway.

bythewoods

Didn't eat any meat yesterday... >_>

Although, seeing as I haven't eaten meat since I was about 15 nobody's too shocked!

I did eat a muffin though. Bad bythewoods. I was very very ill afterwards.

Guys, a bit OT but is there a name for someone who won't eat mammals? He eats chicken fish eggs cheese and the likes but no mammals, is there a term for that?

"Nutjob" sounds apt.
