Oh! you're a girl after me own heart - cept I can't even do Quorn
Just cant stand the taste of meat or any substitute:o Im thinking back to when i was a wee thing, many years ago- at school when you had to have school dinners - now im talking years ago - must have been 5 or 6yrs old and the meals were so dreadful and if you didnt clear your plate you had to miss playtime and eat it - cept you were put up on the stage bit for all to see and you stayed there till you finished it! Grisly meat, cold lumpy custard, mashed spud that tasted so awful. Yuk!!!!
It was usually me, all on my own, pushing the food round the plate wishing for home time
My dear mum bless her gave me a doggy bag to try to get round it (in those days you didn't dare quibble with the school) but that was a no no, I was caught and back up to the stage i went. :rotfl:
I always wonder about those days. But as the years have gone on i became disgruntled about the welfare of animals and i suppose thats why i became a veggie. Not a vegan tho - I love my dairy products and yep - veggies i could live on forever!!
However, I never pushed my views on the family although they are not huge great meat eaters, and will happily fit in where ever. But, when I cook them a meaty meal, no way could i taste it :eek: but ...... fingers crossed - it always seems ok and they havent keeled over yet!:rotfl::rotfl::D xxxMILITARY WIVES CHOIRSHELP for HEROES0 -
