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.

What if the Pig was actually the Chef ?

    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
    • The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
