[Marilyn]

Vegetarian for 21 years

And I’m only 35

 

[Suedehead]

My pronouns are he/they/VEGAN.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Vegetarian since the age of 15. I pretty much have a vegan diet other than the cheese alternative is woeful and I’ll happily eat a (free range egg) cheese omelette if out for brunch now and then.

 

[Joseph]

Meat

 

[funky]

I eat meat, but my diet is probably 75% vegan at this point.

 

[big ron]

Still eat meat but only buy it if it's decent welfare.

Rarely eat beef, never eat pork. Most of my animal protein is wild venison (it lived a free life and had to be killed as its a pest so I may as well eat it if it has to die) or free range chicken.

Do like a bit of fish.

 

[Indie]

White meat once a week maybe and fish a few times a week.

No red meat. Mostly veg.

 

[Lucille]

I rarely eat meat or fish at home unless I feel like my body needs it. Will eat meat when eating out, and HAVE TO eat meat when in Paris as their vegetarian options are still WOEFUL.

 

[GNL]

LOVE going to one of the CULINARY CAPITALS OF THE WORLD and subsisting entirely on shitty falafel wraps.

 

[funky]

I was at a French wedding last week and they didn’t have a vegetarian option at the sit down meal you were just meant to wait for the cheese board I guess. Must be fun being vegan in France!

The drier the better oh YUMTASTICA!!!

 

[Tisch]

I love vegetarian cuisine but I could never give up meat. It's too ingrained in my pysche when I'm deciding what to eat. I do however try to only red meat once a week.

(Says he who literally has a SHEPHERD'S PIE out for tea)

You can’t even order a salad in case they randomly decide to SHOVE SOME HAM IN IT.

 

[jivafox]

I had an EGG McMuffin from a McDonald's in Paris and they managed to sneak bacon in it. They're WICKED!

 

[funky]

I thought I was being overly fussy / paranoid about the French and their food culture but I’m glad it’s not just me!

The amount of dry, stale white bread they consume is absolutely insane. I assume gaviscon makes a KILLING in France…

 

[Suedehead]

A lot of French food is accidentally vegetarian though esp their salads pastries pizzas crepes etc
Sorry not buying this narrative
I lived in France for a year
It was easy enough to get by!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Most restaurants have at least a vegetarian option, at least in Paris. It’s harder if you’re vegan though.

Also this.

 

[Suedehead]

Yeah you’re fucked in France if you’re vegan

 

[Suedehead]

French cuisine shits on every other European cuisine from great heights including Italian

BITE ME!!!!

I think they round them all up and lock them away.

Good French food is amazing, but they're also exceptional at SHIT.

Italian food is amazing everywhere. We got some packaged stuff from a Spa to eat on the train out of Venice and it was fucking DELICIOUS. Even the sandwiches were incredible.

 

[dmlaw]

I’m reasonably sure that if you say you’re vegan in a French restaurant, they just serve you a pack of Gauloises.

 

[funky]

To be chopped up and served as dessert

 

[funky]

I think French is my least favourite cuisine ever. And yes I’m including American.

But as someone who leans towards vegan style food, that’s hardly surprising. I really don’t want a plate of pate and cheese for starters thank you!

 

[Suedehead]

Well I had the worst lasagne in my life in Italy
And what !!

[old spice]

SOYBOY TILL I DIE!

My raison d'être is to cause conservatives, gymbros, and carnivores to collapse into fits of convulsion at the mere sight of me and I think I do it well.

Am about 95% vegan nowadays but it remains to my advantage to hold onto vegetarianism atm given the frequency with which I find myself in parts of the world where leaves apparently do not grow but eggs are in plentiful supply. Paris is a veritable PLANTOPIA by comparison imo.

ETA: Delightful to see so many veg-positive folk around tho! I first tried going vegetarian when I was 11 cos all the clever + cute girls at school had their own little tribe going on and I felt the need to infiltrate. But it all went tits up when my stupid old dad picked me up from one girl's house one eve and obtusely announced to everyone that no child of his would ever go without meat! I then spent the next decade+ actively berating all my plant-based friends whenever we went out cos I'm a fucking nightmare when I have a chip on my shoulder, only to then perform a wild u-turn in my 20s by lurching from beer-swigging meat(and potato)head to beer-swigging lentil junkie. Wish I'd had the courage to stick with it earlier.
