Not eating meat doesn't mean you get a business class meal

Who the hell doesn't like pasta???

Dave Lister apparently.

Kryten: Sir, we've lost all of our curry supplies. I can make you pasta though.
Lister: Pasta? Are you sick?

Well there are "Sunday Christians" who are only really Christian on Sunday.

I assume there are similar types of people in all view points. "Vegetarians" who eat meat when they feel like it. Or Atheists who become religious on military deployments then go back to Atheism when they get back home (I actually meet one, even he could not understand why he only believed while under stress.)

The first one has a label "Flexitarian" which is someone who claims to be vegetarian or vegan but uses the term loosely.

AS far as the "religious label on military deployments goes" I have to wonder if they do it as a means of survival ie they're less likely to torture someone if that someone is a religious man.

Re the Sunday Christians, I have another couple of labels for people like that: "Convenient Christians" and "Internet Christians." The first refers to people who will be Christian when it suits them ie Sundays, holidays and whenever someone who is religious gets special preferences. As far as "Internet Christians" go, these ones are likely to use the Christian label as an excuse to be bigoted.

I'd have gladly taken the pasta. I love pasta anyway, but I also realise that planes are limited with the food. The lady just wanted to complain. Also, if she wanted salmon, then she's not a vegetarian. Or maybe she's one of those horrid humans that don't think fish are animals.

"Chicken isn't vegan?"

I am reminded of the saying 'There are no atheists in foxholes'.

"Chicken isn't vegan?"

What if they feed it only vegetables?

I am reminded of the saying 'There are no atheists in foxholes'.

Those of us who are true atheists and have been in combat or combat-like situations really hate that saying. There is a whole group of military atheist who disprove it thousands of times over.

"'Vegone'...?

[dalesys]

Like the chick who asked if the lamb-skin condoms were vegan.

It is when you are under stress and honestly afraid for your life that you find out what you truly believe deep down inside. It's easy to be Atheist when you are not in danger (no insult intended to the few people who truly are atheist). It's a lot harder when death is knocking at your door and you don't want to let him in.

I realize it's stayed civil thus far (thank you!) but let's take the "part-time religion" comparison to Fratching, please.

Chicken curry? Lamb? Last time I was on a plane that served a meal it was a rubber chicken dish (except for me since I keep kosher - my meal didn't make it on the plane, so I ate pretzels, a granola bar I had and one of the stewardesses had a banana that she very nicely gave me).

[fireheart]

I do have to wonder why people believe that those with dietary requirements get better food on the planes overall.

[Chromatix]

They've probably heard of the quantity versus quality tradeoff. Something that has to be made specially, in smaller quantities, must therefore be higher quality.

Or, you know, it's just to make themselves feel like they're getting something rare and exclusive.

Reminds me of a woman that sat in front of us on the bus once.

Over the course of her very loud conversation most of the passengers learned

She was a vegetarian
but she ate fish
and chicken
but only breast fillets not chicken thighs or wings
oh and only certain types of fish
and fillet steak
occasionally lamb cutlets

and so it continued until we got off.
