Vegetarian distraught after eating meat for first time.

Dozen Wicked Words · 30-12-2013 05:14PM

Wait, did she just say she used to be a dude?

Legs.Eleven · 30-12-2013 05:18PM

I used to work in a bagel shop in Dublin and served a man chicken with his cream cheese accidentally and he was a veggie. He was absolutely distraught and I mean REALLY distraught. I can't remember a time in my life when I felt more guilty or apologised more than I did that day. He told me it was like eating human flesh to him.

Ooopsadaisy.

How many times had he eaten human flesh so as to know what it was like?

Never got round to asking him.

I think she's full of wind and self-righteousness. After all it was only a chicken. A pity the article didn't specify if the offending bird was a capon, pullet or a cock so the boardsie amateur psychologists could enlighten us.

SpaceTime · 30-12-2013 05:22PM

If I were that vegetarian, I'm not sure that Nando's - a restaurant that specialised in cooking entire chickens serving them up in hot sauce - would be top of my list of places to eat!

ArmaniJeanss · 30-12-2013 05:23PM

Logically some poor sod at another table must have ordered the chicken and ended up with her Halloumi Cheese Pitta.
Someone spare a thought for that person.

Surely one bite in, she'd have thought it tasted pretty weird delicious?

Yep, I reckon so although it would've been a great reply. I got a bit distracted by the wailing and sobbing to think of any clever comeback though.

I'm more shocked that there is a story on the Daily Mail website and I agree with most of the comments that are getting up voted. :eek:

We're talking about the woman's reaction to inadvertently eating meat, and how she felt very distressed at doing something completely opposed to her belief system. I personally feel she over reacted, but I have some sympathy.

You appear to have this confused with a discussion of her general appearance and speech.

*I genuinely hate how things so frequently boil down to what someone looks like or sounds like, more usually women.

lollsangel · 30-12-2013 06:26PM

Guess theyre sorry they told her it was chicken now?

J_E · 30-12-2013 06:28PM

I'd be fairly annoyed if I was served meat as a vegetarian, mainly because it's so tasty.

My friend is a vegetarian to help him maintain his weight. He'd love the likes of bacon or steak. If he had meat it would be fairly hard for him to go back veggie.

This reaction is a little over the top but fundamentally I could understand a degree of the upset.

It's hard to have sympathy - if her beliefs are so vehemently anti-meat then why go to a restaurant famous for serving meat and why allow someone else to prepare your food for you?

If I was so strongly anti-meat I would either go to a restaurant with noted vegetarian options where the food is prepared by a trained chef or I would cook for myself.

Nando's is glorified fast food (it's probably a step up from McDonalds, but still fast food) - the people who work there are not chefs. They churn out food as fast as they can - mistakes will be made.

For vegetarians who just don't like meat I am sure it's perfectly fine - but for people like her where it's a strong belief then you're always taking a risk. Person gets served meat in specialised meat restaurant - shocking.

She was so distraught she tried to make herself sick when she got home

Hey Chucken!
I thought we'd lost you to a vegetarian carnivore. Just one key away from being cooked and three-quarters eaten.

Yes I agree, that's why I said I think she over reacted.

I don't understand why she'd show up in Nando's, but at the same time she's probably eaten there on a number of occasions and had no problems, and subsequently had her guard lowered.

Or if I was being cynical, I'd wonder if the lady has fallen on hard times.

Over reaction or not though, if she ordered a menu item and it was not as described, the restaurant had questions to answer, although that doesn't absolve her of her personal responsibility to be vigilant.

They offered her a free meal - that's more than fair IMO.

We can't start sueing restaurants because they get an order wrong.

I didn't suggest otherwise.

If she was so dedicated to her beliefs, she'd realize that the cheese in the pitta wrap she ordered probably caused more harm to animals than the meat in the wrap she got.

preston johnny · 30-12-2013 07:34PM

I think she made a missed steak going to Nandos

Hande hoche! · 30-12-2013 07:37PM

Never been to a Nandos myself. Some of their ads are quite amusing.

It's a typical Daily Mail article written to antagonise people. Now let's move on to more important matters and calm down.

I bet she enjoys munching on pork sausages tho ...

YellowFeather · 30-12-2013 07:52PM

Flipping eejit. In what way does this compromise her principles? What an overreaction. It's people like this who cause takeaway coffee cups to to be labelled 'May contain hot liquid". I despair sometimes.

People just end up getting angry and one argument leads to another. She is fortunate enough to live in a civilised society. Many are not, and have rather more profound problems.

but when I see meat/chicken on my own plate it does make me feel a bit queasy.

Nothing wrong with feeling queasy, but if every vegetarian acted like this woman after being accidentally served meat I think restaurants would be cleaned out a long time ago.

This lady doesn't understand human error. I'm not saying it's acceptable to accidentally serve a vegetarian meat - it's not but it will happen statistically. None of my vegetarian friends would react like this - calling the newspapers and everything!! I had a friend who threw up after accidentally mixing up our burgers but he didn't claim any trauma afterwards.

At least this lady is not allergic to anything like that poor girl who died in Dublin. That's a victim.
