    Our labrador will eat almost anything. He even eats his own **** at times and I suspect he'd force down one of Skiddy's human **** curries.

    There are only two things that he's ever walked away from. Celery and a vegetarian sausage.

    Back in the days when I ate meat, about forty years ago, there were some sausages that were good and many that were not. It is the same for vegetarian products as well. I would imagine that school dinner budgets did not stretch to the better products. You should try some now.

    Meat is like pussy.
    There's good pussy, and there is bad pussy, but at the end of the day, it is still pussy. And bad pussy is better than no pussy
    (And no one start posting pics of obese, manky birds, meat DOES have an expiration date).

    Same with meat, a bad sausage is still better than a cauliflower

    Quorn sausages are ****

    Stuff like kinds McCartney's may as well just blitz and fry leeks

    Surprised vegans/vegetarians don't look into parsi style Indian cooking. I have friends and loads of family who are vegan/vegetarian and they never heard of it

    I had you down as being selective as far as women were concerned. Can’t agree with you that a meat sausage is better than a cauliflower however.

    Vegan sausages when consumed by professional
    footballers, have been shown to score more / concede
    less goals when they play games. < FACT >

    Eat one for the (Man Utd) team, Matth.

    Infact studies have shown that when people consume meat substitute products like Qorn etc, that the football team they support also had improved fortunes.
    Give it a try Meth.

    I think Jermaine Defoe is a vegan..

    I’m quite partial to a bit of rabbit’s food myself, but got to have meat too.

    Big fat juicy steak!...Yum!...<cheers>

    My missus is vegetarian so we cook meals without meat at home. I was vegetarian for 12 years, but I ****ing love a rare steak so I rejoined the world of carnivores.

    I don’t see any real benefits of one diet over the other. You can get all of your nutrition from a meat free diet, the problem with meat consumption is the volume. We are literally killing the planet to satisfy the mass consumption of meat, when in fact you don’t need very much of it in your diet at all.

    My Mrs was a vegetarian when we got married. Then got pregnant and started to crave doner kebab of all things. She never had it before either but I had some and that was it

    I am.not sensitive to vegetarians etc at the beat if times tbh. Thing about the vegetarian diet at the time was it wasn't seen as sufficient for pregnant mums to be and had to supplement with loads of vitamins etc

    For me that in itself is a clear sign that if you eat a good balance you're meant to eat meat

    You can get all of your nutrients froma meat free diet, but you need to make sure you know where to get them and eat a varied diet. Just cutting out the meat and eating tofu burgers isn’t going to do it.

    I like meat too much to go back to a veggie diet. Also living by the sea we eat a lot of fish (which i guess makes my missus a piscetarian or whatever it’s called)

    I think there’s a lot to be said for eating locally produced and seasonal food. I know vegans who have that diet for ethical reasons, but conveniently ignore the ethical issues around terrible working conditions, child labour and the excessive Air miles that comes with some exotic fruits and out of season vegetables that are grown on the other side of the world.

    What you say about seasonal stuff is bang on the money IMO.

    As I kid growing up in Kashmir you got certain fruit and veg at certain times and so had to eat what was available. Also it was picked ripe rather than early and then stored to ripen.

    I am a big fruit and veg fan when in some countries but in england I hardly ever buy say apricots and mangoes from tesco etc as they are nowhere near as tasty as they should be

    Ethically I do think meat today is damaging due to.antibiotics and **** added to it

    I’ve come across one or two of those. Vegetarians who don’t eat vegetables! <laugh>

    Seriously, they’re really secret meat cravers who won’t give in and fill their diet with Meat substitutes and chips, or some such...

    I run a small health food business, so I get to trade at Farmers markets etc where the food is all local and produced to top quality standards. The meat that I do buy is from people that I know, who make sure they are producing quality. It’s not as cheap as buying it in Tesco, but there is a reason for that as you outline. Most of that mass produced ****e is pumped full of antibiotics and chemicals.

    I get beef from a bloke who raises his cattle around 5 miles up the road from me. They are free to graze on grass out on the cliffs and he slaughters a cow when he knows people will buy the cuts.

    My veggies are grown by another friend of mine around 3 miles in the other direction. I also do some work with a local community farm who grow all their own and keep hens and ducks, so I get my eggs from them and salad leaves in the summer.

    Not only do I get top quality nutrient rich food, but the money I spend stays local and so helps my local community. Those same people then spend money buying things from me and none of it gets syphoned off into the coffers of the multinationals like Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
