    Someone I know gets quite ecstatic if there is broccoli bake on the menu :) . Takes all sorts.

    I wouldn't say it drives me wild, but I do like a broccoli bake! :)

    Well I'm just special! haha .. that was already established! In the cases where there was nothing I would eat I just stayed at home.

    I did ask if I could have chips instead as I do not like any veg, so I had turkey and chips :D

    I'm not vegetarian, but I'd say at least 8 out of 10 times, I will choose the vegetarian option. So much so that some of my colleagues actually thought I was a veggie. I think the vegetarian options nowadays are far more appealing than some of the other options (to me anyhow) and are a lot more plentiful than they once were.

    Not a veggie, but very often will choose the veggie option.

    You eat chip shop chips with a fork?? Isn't that what fingers are for??

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    If I have gravy or curry sauce on my chips, I don't have vinegar - but I do with mushy peas.

    Just thought I'd share that with you. :D
