    I’m lacto-ovo veggie and the number of people who can’t fathom that I don’t eat meat (in the UK where it’s really quite common) is mind boggling.

    “What, not even fish?” 🙄 No, mate, if it has a face I won’t eat it, but thanks.

    People also tie flavours to specific foods. I have a friend who has a north African partner and they tell me often they’d go veggie if it weren’t for their partners chicken “which is so much better than ours”. No shit, he uses a fuck ton of spice and lemons. If you threw that on some veggies it would be a pretty close flavour experience. I get missing a texture (slow cooked beef? I miss that) but the flavour thing just doesn’t add up to me.
