Vegetarianism goes Vigilante

[vikingchyk]

But, but....the veggies died, too! Haven't you ever heard the carrots scream?

Tell me, Clarice, have the carrots stopped screaming?

{have we overdone that one yet? }

o_O Bunnicula? He lives?!

My friend's bunny is STILL alive??? No, seriously -- she named ber bunny, Bunnicula.


I was a vegetarian until middle of high school, then I ate a burger. It was either that or wait another half hour to an hour to get home and fix something for me, as I was in the car going home from somewhere and my mom had gotten some burgers along the way. Even now I could tell anyone at least two differences between a veggie burger and a beef burger.

Yeah.. Ive had those veggie patties.. they dont taste a thing like even the cheapest beef patty, or smell the same, or look the same. As far as nightmares go... well, if a little bit of meat can cause that then he has issues that arent even remotely related to food.

"Are you a vegetarian because you love animals, or because you hate plants?"

I like the idea of ordering a veggie burger with bacon! Or at least I would, if I liked veggie burgers. My mom went on a major health kick when I was growing up and bought all kinds of imitation meat products. My brother heated up a veggie burger in the microwave without my knowledge. The stench was horrendous and I spent a good hour looking for where the dog had thrown up KFC.

I think this guy sounds more guilty than upset. He obviously preferred the meat and can't come to terms with his conversion.

That, or he's trolling.

It just sounded like he enjoyed the taste (he said it was juicier and more flavorful than a veggie burger). With his severe reaction (nightmares and brushing his teeth for fifteen minutes) along with the focus of the letter on his emotional distress rather than the mistake on the part of the restaurant employees, that's what it sounds like to me.

Or that are related to food. But either way, not the restaurant's fault.

I CAN see a restaurant messing up and supplying the wrong meal. But we all know both the correct and the SC way of dealing with that.

No, seriously -- she named ber bunny, Bunnicula.

It's also the title character in a series of kids' books from...I wanna say the Judy Blume era ^_^ It's about exactly what the name suggests: a vegetarian vampire bunny rabbit that terrorizes frequents gardens, leaving the pale, dessicated shells of carrots and radishes in his terrible wake ..... GD it now the Count Duckula theme is playing through my head ~_~

This is probably what it would take to get me to scarf down a veggie or soyburger. I'm not adverse to the idea of non-meat substitutes (except for bacon...Bacon must always be bacon), but I think I would have to be weaned into them gently. On the other hand, I dislike most of what traditionally goes into salads only slightly less than the salad dressings themselves that people add to cover up the taste of the salad, which I have often seen used in amounts that completely negate the health benefit of having a salad in the first place >_< Kinda like how people sit down to eat broccoli with cheese, when we all know damn well that what they want -- and what they're likely to actually eat -- is cheese soup garnished with broccoli.

I was one of those liddle kiddles (neither term applies anymore, sadly) who would often not be able to keep veggies down anyway. It was likely just a psychosomatic extension of the usual "I hate veggies" nonsense, but the folks apparently gave up trying to get me to eat anything green with a stronger smell than peas quite quickly. Paradoxically enough, I have always LOVED split pea soup, even as a little one.

After nightmares and PTSD, the SC is willing to go back and eat at the restaurant again if he/she gets a refund or compensation...which would be another veggie burger.

I think this is my favourite quote of this thread. Thank you.

[ShootMePlease]

Veggie burgers are great !!

And they taste nothing like a beef burger. I definitely would have noticed the difference right away and got another burger. I'm not so militant that I would brush my teeth 'til my gums bled, though. People make mistakes. I would simply spit it out and move on.

He's running down an alley and a cow is chasing him ...
If it weren't for the fact this guy has apparently pulled this sort of thing before, I'd want to know if this occurred anywhere near April 1.

P.S. Or is he having flashbacks of having visited Pamplona?

[bainsidhe]

And is anyone else bothered that she said she ate a cow patty? What, is the store raising cows and scooping patties fresh and hot from the ground?
