It's easier to say you're a veggie that eats fish, than to say that you're a pescatorian. Most people understand what a vegetarian is but have never heard of the term pescatorian.

Giger personally I'd say I dont eat meat rather than use a false or misleading term. Just my personal view there.

sorry reverbe!! agree with giger but its so much easier just to say you are a vegetarian rather go into a long waffle about why you are a pestocarian or whatever it is even more so when you are sitting down for a meal on a night out!!

hmm not as good as the first two programmes. i sitting glued to the telly cos it was a one veggie -in- a- family that caught my attention

I was sitting there growling at the tv cos she was NOT a veggie.She ate FISH!!!!:mad::mad:

I dont know why I am so angry when ppl do this cos I am not a veggy myself. Perhaps I just have a massive pedantic streak. It seems to annoy me far more than my veggy flatmate:rotfl:

I'm not veggie but it winds me up when people say they could be veggie as they only eat chicken:rolleyes: bit like people who say they have flue everytime they sneeze and its only a cold:mad: -theres my moan for the day

I tried to follow the advice of both EG and MSE and meal plan but I find it doesnt encompass the random opportunity of whoopsies. I had planned to do macaroni cheese this week but found a huge pack of cheap breaded pollock which will do me as a single person for 4 meals...

ok i do think that they should do all the recipes either in ther book or on the site, but to cook stuff that is not included in either is wrong as i am sure there are many who would like to try them but cannot find the reciepe anywhere!

i do htink that if you are single you can be very sucessful at meal planning/shopping/ frequent meal changes. you only have yourself to answer for. even better if you have a wide range of food tastes so are able to take full advantage of the whoopsies (how i detest that name by the way!!)
