Thread: Any other vegetarians on SRP?

Bruno, I think you're confusing vegetarianism with fasting!

I like meat too much. Dinner just doesn't seem right without some form of it. I had a portobello sandwich the other day that was good, but just not filling. I added sliced turkey to it and voila! Perfect sandwich.

I don't define myself as such but I did give up meat, milk and eggs for lent. It is interesting to say the least. Cooking has become a challange for me without the eggs and milk part. Everything baked use them so they are out.

Like I said, interesting to say the least...

Myself, I eat very little meat. Mainly fish or chicken. 5 days a week meals are stir fried. I don't consider myself to be a veggie at all. I NEVER eat fast food and I'm very picky about what I eat...... unless it's cookies... Gotta love leather and it's a large part of my wardrobe. I also braid my own whips from kangaroo hide....great stuff. Whipboxing...anyone??????

Nope, I eat meat. There is nothing tastier than a perfectly cooked steak. Brown that baby up in a pan, seasoning it as you go, and then toss it in the oven for around 10 or 15 minutes, depending on how you like it cooked. Mmmm. I am so going to make that tonight, now that I've got it on my mind.

How about a lite Chipotle BBQ basting with fresh asparagus, garden salad and a merlot. Nope it's Arby's tonight for me.

Haha, don't get me wrong, I really used to enjoy a good steak in the evening. Fortunately, a number of other dishes can be very delicious and still feed you up right. Though you can't really replace meat in a diet (nothing tastes or fills like it), I personally found that its very easy to get away from, and even easier to stay away. Honestly, for me, its all about staying lean and fit so I can rock climb at a very high level, something more than worth the cost to me.

Beef. Venison. Goose. Duck. Lamb. Chicken. Fish. Shellfish. I treat all animals equally. The best tasting, in my opinion, are the ones you kill and clean yourself though. Nothing better than a good, properly seasoned goose breast, or a shore-lunch of fresh-caught largemouth bass in a beer-batter.

And does everyone know where the word "vegetarian" came from? It's an old Iroqouis word for "bad hunter".

Personally one of my favorite veggie jokes, but, in order to protect the gullible :

vegetarian
1839, irregular formation from vegetable (n.) + -arian, as in agrarian, etc. "The general use of the word appears to have been largely due to the formation of the Vegetarian Society in Ramsgate in 1847."

I've been an octo-lavo vegetarian for about 14 years now. (I still eat chocolate chip cookies).

See, that's what I think of when people say they're vegetarian. I just don't equate dairy and eggs as being part of the meat thing. It's a cold day in hell when I give up milk and cookies!
