SJ - does it REALLY matter if there's the odd drop of pork fat in home-style cabbage or aubergine ?

I mean, you probably couldn't taste it and it's not a main ingredient.

I, also, don't know if there IS prok in these vegetable dishes.


I also am unsure of the correct terminology. Just like Confucius, I like to get this right.

'veggie' smarts of veggetarian food for 'veggies' but NOT for meat eaters.

'vegetarian' sounds like it's food that has no meat in it. Which anyone is intended to eat.

Is there a subtle difference between the two ? The usage makes me think so. 'Veggie' seems to have some kind of 'ownership (it's OUR food) attached to.


Don't get me wrong, I'll eat what I like regardless, but I think the ownership thing is stoopid.

Ted, what were 'rude meat eaters' saying that was rude ?

genuine question - I must have missed something.


Regarding the pork fat (theoretically) in the 'home-style cabbage', if you can't taste it or see it and animals weren't specifically killed as an ingredient for it, isn't it ethically OK to eat ? Especially if you can't taste the fat ?

Pakistanis had their name shortened, but it didn't comprise of 'ie', just the 'i' after the 'k'.

It was (is in some places) a collective term including India, Bangladesh, and, for some abusers of the term, folks of African origin.


The only reason a meat-eater would fear a vegeterian would be if they thought the campaign in their postcode was going to remove their preferred cuts from local restaurants, I reckon. As in foie gras..

He's right you know - veggie's have had their rights removed for hundreds of years. Overrun and taken against their will from their homeland they were sold into slavery, and traded like animals without basic human rights.


Even now they suffer from the legacy of that persecution, frequently locked by tradition into ghettos with little social interest, suffering systematic institutionalised discrimination.


There are even political parties generating a groundswell of support in more carnivorous parts of the country who believe them to be destroying British culture, stealing women, and living on the dole.


I've heard of veggies getting attacked on the street by gangs of youths searching for any plausible target.


Police still stop them on the street searching for peelers.


Veggies have had it hard... BUT they are at last reclaiming 'the word'.

Huguenot once again, the cure for a miserable day. That was awesome.


If one were to judge by these veggie threads, I'd have to conclude that animal products are where humans get our sense of humour from.


I generally don't make a habit of quoting Homer Simpson, but I think he summed it up when he sang "You don't make friends with sa-lad. You don't make friends with sa-lad".


Or as my husband says: vegetables are what food eats.

T.e.d


Bless ya. I used to love Food for Fiends in Brighton, I'd go there after caning it at the Zap club all week-end.


With my eyes swivelling in thier sockets I'd point at a the trays of delicious veggie food on offer, then stuff my self with a spoon of it ( maybe two )


And then afterwards I'd have a massive sh*t.


Which was nice.

    • I agree that someone somewhere must at one point decided on their purpose, however if anything was ever written down it is probably long lost, given the turnover of councillors and council staff . The Crofton Park noticeboards I mentioned above are solely for information about the council  and various community groups and activities, plus  various community related things such as the library times and services.  I think they are very bright, interesting and inviting, however I am not going back there solely in order to take a photo The ones in East Dulwich don't have much on them because ... well, for the reasons on this thread 🤣
    • From experience, it's the norm that the local authority reject appeals regardless of facts. Suggest you appeal and highlight that you followed the requirements by using the app to log the parking session and the failure of the app / network to register this is a technical issue beyond your control for which you can not be held responsible for and accordingly not penalised. Also that the traffic wardens records confirm you were parked for less than the free period so again should not be penalised. Do a search on web for similar appeals The 'fight back forum' website used to be very good for people sharing there appeals experience; and looks like this is no longer running but try https://www.ftla.uk I've appealed loads of Penalty Charge Notices for myself, friends and family and all been successful. In approx half of the appeals the local authority did not even respond and were won by default.  Re 20p fee - check if you you have text message alert 'on' as these are generally charged for and if so turn it off to save text fee. Hope this helps For Clarity, you need to follow the process, so have to first appeal to the local authority that issued the PCN (sounds like you've done this).  Then you can appeal to the London Tribunals and the local authority have to tell you this and tell you your reference number to submit this appeal.  
    • I’ve read the thread, but no one on the thread has authority over the noticeboards. There must be something written somewhere spelling out the purpose of them;  if they’re not serving that purpose maybe the purpose should change.  I’m interested, not because I have a business which I wish to advertise, but because I’ve seen noticeboards elsewhere that have a richer more reflective feel maybe a bit like a physical manifestation of the What’s on on section of this forum but more 
    • There has already been pages of discussion about this. Please read the whole thread if you haven't already. These are community notice boards and not for the use of  local commercial businesses. I need this to be quite clear before I spend  time on it, because if they are to be used for commercial purposes then I am not willing to be involved at all, and shan't be speaking to Monica
