What's taters precious?

So recently someone was asking me if I had a grill. I said I used to have one but it belongs to someone else now. They looked at me for a minute and the puzzled look on their face said, how does your grill belong to someone else now? Then the elevator got to the top floor oh yeah you have one of those exes. Their next question was a bit strange only because they know I’m a vegetarian, how do you grill?

I don’t really have a need to grill anything.

The second elevator got to the top floor, Oh yeah I guess you wouldn’t

I have thought about getting one because Stunt boy eats the meats and he likes the grilled meats as well. Doodle likes that stuff too but she only comes over a few times a month to eat and I liked the grilled veggies like grilled corn, veggies kabobs and I want to grill some bananas but I haven’t yet.

Seems like an awfully be price tag to grill up bananas though, but maybe some day. You never know

There are some pros and cons of hanging out with a vegetarian. Now these are generalizations and do not apply to all vegetarians. And on a scale of good to bad I’m more toward the bad side of the vegetarian world or as like to call it the normal side of the vegetarian world. To put it perspective my normal is what Vegans would call bad and would probably call me a lot of bad names too.

So starting off with the cons you know so we can end on a good note.

Cons

Vegetarians as a whole do tend to be to a bit judgey about the whole eating meat thing you’ve probably heard the chants and drums, Meat is murder and smelled the patchouli too. Eat what makes you happy is what I say and that’s why vegans call me bad names.

Some of us can be a little picky about ordering in restaurants. Many of us will drive a waiter to spiting in your food. Question after questions, Is that flavored with suet, Was that made with vegetable stock or chicken stock or were those fries done in the same oil as the chicken nuggets.

If you work in a restaurant if someone is asking this ask one question do you have allergies? If they say yes tell them the truth, if they say no, tell them what will get them to place an order. My advice is this, if you are that picky about what you eat you need to eat at home and leave the carnivores and normal people alone.

Some of us will make retching noises when we smell cooking meat, but really it doesn’t make us sick, well most of us. Hamburger does smell bad sometimes but mainly if you are doing ribs or a nice prime rib I’ll stand in the wind to smell it cooking I’m going to eat it.

Vegetarians know things you don’t want to know about your food. It’s very hard to find stuff talking about vegetarian diets and recipes without facts about why this is better for you than the omnivore diet or how replacing some animal product with this vegetable one is better. The biggest example is gelatin and pectin they do the same thing solidify foods one is an animal product and one isn’t. Most of the world knows where gelatin comes from but if you don’t ask a vegetarian and they will tell you and then you’ll be sick but you’ll go ahead and eat that jell-o or marshmallow then next time because it tastes good. If you don’t know I won’t tell you and the stuff that makes candy sour… well no one likes that answer so I’ll keep it to myself.

That’s about it on the bad side.

Pros

Cooking doesn’t take all that long for us unless it’s rice and that takes us just as long as it takes you.

If you order a pizza will all meat toppings and you live with a vegetarian that left over pizza will still be there when you get back from work, the gym or where ever it is you went. The same goes for the last what ever meat thing in the fridge you don’t have to hide it down in the veggie draw to keep your vegetarian friend away from it. It will be there later

You can generally get enough to eat for two people ordering one entrée and a few sides if you surrender the salad or at least part of it to the vegetarian.

Usually we like to cook so you can get out of that chore if you hate it.

We will usually have a compost pile or bin so if you need dirt for your flower garden find your friendly neighborhood dirty ol’ hippy freak and we will most likely give it to you for free because, we’re friendly and stuff like that. And we’ll have more in a few weeks.

If you are ever stranded out in the middle of nowhere there are to possibilities. One the vegetarians will be able to find food that will keep everyone alive or two they will die first because they aren’t eating what ever food you’ve found then if you have to cannibalize, there is no easy way to say this we just taste better. Think about it, mainly and the animals that you eat are vegetarians and they are yummy. Why wouldn’t a people vegetarian be yummy too? Just saying, but we do taste better.
