Sure, we'll agree to disagree.

Not quite sure what this smiley is for though:

No hard feelings - I'm not taking this too seriously and I hope you're not either

Something like that anyway

Went to a work BBQ and when talking to the cook about what they had for the veggies she replied with, it'f fine I have marainated some chicken for them!... she was deadly serious!!

Did the OP ever establish it was actually chicken?

No it's not is imbecilic. However, if there was some far off country where people regularly ate slugs and somebody there who didn't want to eat them bought a pie and found a slug in it that would be a more sensible analogy.

In that scenario most sensible people wouldn't complain because slugs are an accepted part of the national diet so are liable to find their way into other meals from time to time. Making an irrational choice not to eat a common food is your own issue, and it's up to you to be extra vigilant if you don't want to eat a perfectly normal food.

As it is most people wouldn't be happy to pay twice the price for their food because everything has to be triple checked so some !!!!!! vegetarian doesn't get in a strop for no good reason.

Anyway if the OP gets compensation for this I want compo off dominos for putting a green pepper on my meat feast pizza last week.

As the food was labelled vegetarian it would seem to me that the OP was being as vigilant as could be expected. In the same way that something labelled as containing meat should not contain meat that we would not ordinarily eat such as horse, guinea pig or even slug.

The analogy was not whether or not the OP is justified in suing, it is about whether she is justified in feeling revolted.

I hope that makes it clearer to anyone who finds this point hard to understand because I can't really think of a different way of saying it.

And I was vigilant in making sure I didn't get green peppers on my pizza, but one found its way in there. Would it be reasonable for me to be revolted by it?

I can see there's a potentially an argument that it's ok to be revolted by anything, after all you aren't doing anyone any harm, but often as in this case it's a completely irrational reaction and I don't see that you have the right to complain about it.

If my husband found an onion on his pizza, I think he'd send the whole lot back :eek:

As far as he would be concerned, he does not like onion, he did not order onion and he thinks onion taints the taste of everything it touches.

Personally I love onion. He, in case you hadn't realised, hates them. Is he justified in sending it back. I think so. Should he sue the !!! of the pizza producer, no I don't think so.

In short - right to complain, yes. Right to compensation? personally I don't think so.

How do vegans/vegetarians feel about fellatio?

That's the chap in Hamlet, right? Was he a vegetarian or something?

Is the issue really that the OP, in eating a bit of chicken, realised how good it is, and is now having dissonance problems?

Also, chickens are vegetarian, so it is only one step away down the food chain, so it is really a problem?

As for slugs - stupid analogy. See Donohue v Stevenson.
