Over the last week I've had the following exchange more times than I can actually count. I'm mainly posting this post as a public information announcement, so, should you ever meet me, you don't ask me the same bloody stupid question.
Me: I'm a vegetarian.
Them: Do you eat fish?
I know Kurt Cobain claimed that "It's OK to eat fish, cos they don't have any feelings."
He did also blow his own brains out. Remember that.
Oh god - I get this all the time - particularly from my mother. Drives me insane.
ReplyDeleteYup, relate to that - especially in restaurants, which considering they are in the food business is pretty rubbish. It might be worth mentioning Kurt's demise to people who claim to be veggie - but eat fish. Boom! Stay away from fish - and guns.
ReplyDeletePray do not get Lady Bracknell started on this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteShe seethes with rage each time a man she knows describes himself as "a fish vegetarian".
Vegetarians do not consume flesh. If one eats fish, one is not a vegetarian: one merely abstains from eating the flesh of mammals.
Lady Bracknell does not eat anything which had a mother.
