Are you a vegetarian?

[BeanoNYC]

I

I love black bean burgers...

Hell yeah! This company, "Amy's" sells them in the frozen section at Waldbaums. One of my favorites.

i was doing some work for a big retailer in San Fran...
The cafeteria had black bean burgers, garden burgers and a couple other choices...

I think it would be easier to eat less meat in CA...

I can't live without corned beef...

I don't think it's disdain against vegetarians. I think it's more of a disdain against the view that eating meat is wrong.

You got my comment as crude as it was.

It's not even disdain...eating too much meat is bad for you. It's the almost militaristic mindset of the anti-meat lobby that annoys me.

I am not a vegetarian. Sticking with my evolutionary roots, I stay with the omnivorous diet.

Although, I do love the high protein non meat foods. I grew black beans in my garden this year I love them so much.

And if you cook some nice, big ol' Portabella tops right, you can bite into one almost without realizing it isn't some type of dead animal.

I, like most in this thread, have no problem with vegetarians in general, only with the preachy, "evangelical" vegetarians. You leave me alone and I'll do the same for you.

The vegetarian chili and a vegetarian lasagna we make are better than the meat varieties of these we've made.QUOTE]

I don't have a problem with some preaching vegetarians.

Let me repeat:

Then again, I guess she could have said "Are you a fan of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? I am." and agreed with her.

Excellent point. I agree, wholeheartedly.

This also give me an opportunity to reflect on my chosen career path, and wonder again for the 1000th time, why I didn't seriously pursue photography.

Just a bit of a corretomundo.....

The original stew called chile by it's Mexican makers was just that, stewed chiles (peppers). It's thought that Texans (ugh) made the variation with meat that is chili con carne (chile WITH meat).

Eventually all the Texans ate the meat-based variation on the original theme, bought fur coats and took ski vacations to Vail, where they floundered around for an hour a day.

LOL, You nailed it with the Texas Snow Flounders. Best burst of laughter I've had all day.

:roll: Men... Put a pretty naked chick in front of them and they'll do anything. :roll:

Not vegetarian, but I will be giving up dairy (though I guess that's more of a "vegan" move than "vegetarian"). Not by choice. Our little guy may be having intolerance issues with it so I need to give it up for at least the next 2 weeks to see if that's the problem... and if it is, I'll have to avoid it until he stops nursing. I love cheese. There's just no good sub for it.

Any of you ever read Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon? Or visit the Weston A. Price Foundation website? It talks about how traditionally-speaking, our predecessors ate meat and relied on it for good health. Mind you, we're talking naturally-raised, grass-fed, ranging animals. You are what you eat and if your meat source is raised on crap, well... Interesting theories.

Spending the week at a customer site..

The main person we're working with is Indian.. And a vegiterian...

I've been hitting Vegi-ish places for lunch... But eating meat and drinking beer at night..

Today - I'm gloming a pile of Indian food... It will make my plane ride home interesting...

Not true....

She has to smokin hot..

Put Rosi Odonell in tha ad and I'd probably just stop eating...

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

On a recent date, I had Indian food and I was so nervous I was going to get the runs like Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly...

I like the song from Dumb and Dumber about the Vegeterian...she' don't eat meat but she sure likes the bone...lol

 

[deadheadskier]

definitely not and if I was, I'd be out of a job. I interviewed with six different people in the organization and each one asked that question.

Hard to sell beef, wild game and poultry if you're unwilling to taste and talk about the product.

One of my recent firehouse dinner creations:

Pork roast, stuffed with steak tips, wrapped in bacon.

You know what Im gonna do

Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And make brown baby seal eyes for head lights (yeah)
And Im gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' 1 mile per gallon,
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when Im done sucking down those greeseball burgers
Im gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then Im gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there aint a godd*mn thing anybody can do about it
You know why, because weve got the bombs, thats why
2 words, nuclear f***ing weapons, OK?
Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
and it wont make a lick of difference
Because weve got the bombs, OK?
John Wayne's not dead, hes frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for cancer
Were gonna thaw out the duke and hes gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why,
Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million times
Thats how pissed off the dukes gonna be!
I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes,
and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey,
and drive down to Texas and say.....
