Anyway, I have to admit, while I totally agree being a vegetarian is great for some, I would absolutely miss my slabs of cow. I don't think could do it. Might be in part because there are actually very few veggies I would eat by choice....<br /><br />I must pick this book up. It is terrible of me that I have not yet gone out and bought my copy. i have been vine Tobias for a special treat. Um. that sounds kinda more junkie an it did in my head. :D<br /><br />JaimeJaime Sammshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756034484406953047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-33183241963475865602011-06-22T11:49:32.045-07:002011-06-22T11:49:32.045-07:00I was a ovo-lacto vegetarian for 14 years, introdu...I was a ovo-lacto vegetarian for 14 years, introduced chicken back into my diet in my late twenties, and eventually reintroduced beef. However, I am a very picky meat eater (in more ways than one. grin) Regardless, I do know what it's like to be one. My experience was similar. I ate two things: salad or steamed vegetables. Usually, the steamed vegetables were cooked beyond recognition and with no seasoning, or flavor at that point. (sigh) Try being one in England in the mid 80s. HAHAHAHAHA If you don't like cabbage, you are screwed!

I was enjoying Quorn dishes until someone told me it was made from a cultivated fungus that is related more to the fungus you find in athletes'foot than the mushroom variety. It put me right off. How true it is I don't know, but the idea is in my head now, lol. <br /><br />Great post and the book sounds wonderful. <br /><br />Best,<br /><br />LibbyFabian Blackhttp://www.fabianblackromance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-70112998604552527672011-06-21T09:22:10.759-07:002011-06-21T09:22:10.759-07:00Karenna, it amazes me what the exes will do to avo...Karenna, it amazes me what the exes will do to avoid paying cs, isn't it?

LOL<br /><br />Adrianne, I have to confess sometimes I'm not totally sure what vegans/vegetarians eat either..being a vegetarian on a limited budget means I don't always get things like quinoa either. But at least I know we don't just eat salads!<br /><br />Jim, no... that's a Vegarian. Completely different.

Yes, I know. I'm super picky. My MIL use to buy a head of lettuce when she knew I was coming over for dinner. That's what vegetarians eat, right?!

Your landlady's insistence that you're a vegetarian sounds a lot like what I encountered when I told people I don't eat meat: "Well, how about some fish, then?" "Um, no...fish is meat." "No it isn't...it's fish!"Karenna Colcrofthttp://karennacolcroft.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-42417834753368367922011-06-21T06:19:18.712-07:002011-06-21T06:19:18.712-07:00Great blog, Karenna. I have a similar problem in ...Great blog, Karenna. I have a similar problem in that I don't eat beef because after chemotherapy, my cholesterol suddenly went sky-high. My landlady continuously told everyone "My boarder's a vegetarian," and when I'd correct her, saying, "No. I just don't eat beef," I got, "What's the difference?" Apparently beef is the most nearly perfect food. And abstaining from eating it makes you on the lunatic fringe...especially here in Nebraska. Looking forward to hearing more about your vegan werewolf's problems!Toni V.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08052890346125029399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-57771209189617263152011-06-21T04:25:07.545-07:002011-06-21T04:25:07.545-07:00Thanks for hosting me, ladies!
