When Jan asked me what I wanted for breakfast yesterday she produced a bacon sandwich. This reminded me that if I was to become a vegetarian, bacon would be the one thing that I would sorely miss.
Which then led me to consider the unlikely and contradictory vegetarian haggis. A haggis for people that aren't really vegetarians?
Why do some veggie dishes have to imitate meat products? What's wrong with inventing your own concoctions and stop pretending that they're a meat substitute. How stupid is that?
It's almost as stupid as an Indian chef mixing both a Scottish and an Indian anniversary, because he's a bit short of publicity, and coming up with a ScottIndian dish. Strange.
And, before I get inundated with death threats from the knit your own yoghurt brigade, I like and enjoy vegetable only dishes. My son used to be vegetarian (now eats fish) and Jan cooked lots of really tasty and interesting vegetable only dishes. Excellent.
Nick was a vegetarian when I met him but it only took one bacon sandwich to make him stray from the path and within six months he was eating meat again.
ReplyDeleteDuring that six months I ate a lot of veggie sausages, quorn burgers and nut roasts and it didn't make any sense to me either.
That's really funny. One bacon sandwich made him stray, well done.
