Ah, ok. Fair point. I can't say I've ever noticed a problem with fresh raw onions though and I think your plan might make them go soft.

No, raw onions are too much for a sandwich.

I slice them thinly and griddle them to soften them and add a chargrilled note, also brings out the sweetness. Try that crackheed :p =D
 
Lawdy what a fuckabout of a day. Got frikkin drenched walking down to train station cos was pissing down. And cos some ARSEHOLE woman decided it would be hilarious to massively speed up and aim for the deepest part of the borderline floodwaters outside the station just as I walked past. And I'm sure it was hilarious. But not from my perspective. Humbug. Just got back and clothes still hadn't dried out :!

Then missed station somehow so ended up in bastard Shrewsbury and had to sprint to the other platform to catch the train going back t'other way. Got nobbled by ticket inspected all of a minute out from my stop so ended up spunking £20 on train tickets altogether :!

Then fuckabout of a day redeemed itself via the medium of a rather hefty bupe script a week before I was expecting a not-especially-hefty-at-all bupe script. Then got given some weed to ease me sore bits through till the morrow when script starts. Could have done without the prior fuckabout but quite pleased with the payoff =D
 
IME many people use words like 'veggie' as an easy means of avoiding problems when socialising with people they don't know all that well.

Most Muslims I've known tell some people they are vegetarian because it's much easier than explaining what meant they can and can't eat and why.

It's wearing being a vegetarian or vegan like a fekin badge of morality that get on my 'ooter

Most veggies are veggies because of ethical reasons, and not just cause they don't like the taste or whatnot. If I didn't eat meat just because I don't like the taste (and occasionally ate fish) I think I'd feel a bit weird calling myself a veggie

Christ i know a veggie who is veggie for ethical reasons, but she eats fish and chicken :? . She's not the first "vegetarian" I've met to eat chicken either.

She won't eat pork from my mate's pigs though, who have the happiest lives a pig could wish for.

This type of vegetarian shouldn't be called a vegetarian. Should be shot.

That's down to individual interpretation of the word. To me, veggie just means someone that doesn't eat meat.

The fish thing, saying veggie in a general, non-formal conversation is much easier because some (in fact a lot of) people don't know what a pescetarian is. I eat fish so very rarely anyway that I consider myself a vegetarian, but certainly not a strict one.

For some reason the al-lad was on minimum order of 5, not 3 :? Thought that was strange because I can't think of a reason. Oh well, I have two extra :)

Ahh ok.

I don't socialise, lol, but when I do I never go for the easy option I guess, so this seems bizarre to me.

Easy option, does not compute. That people do this I find truly bizarre tbh.

[edit] and before anyone jumps in with a 'pretentious' label ... it's not about that, it's about me not being into pleasantaries ... and I only generally chat to people I want to know ... I very rarely do pleasantaries.

See now, this I don't get. If it's for ethical reasons you should stick to it.

If it's just for preference then it can be flexible imo. Especially as taste changes throughout your lifetime so inevitably so will your diet.

It's not something that should be spouted to get the morality badge

Neither do I, or very rarely anyway.

the instances that spring to mind are work related, I can understand why someone wouldn't be bothered to explain all the reasons why they won't eat random meat.

I don't drink these days, but I don't explain to all and sundry the reasons why

I do that because explaining my diet to people is boring/annoying/intrusive and generally leads to more questions which makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Come to think of it, this is mostly true in the work situation. All my friends know the intricacies of my vegetarianism/pescetarianism.

I understand how that is bizarre but it's just easier and I get why some would take the time to explain properly. Especially if they feel passionate about it.

for the reasons I explained to Allein. I don't do pleasantaries. We're different. Most people do pleasantaries. I'm the odd one in the circumstances, but I'm there very much by choice.

Can't make it make any better sense than that really. I have lots of odd 'I don't dos'.
 
I am not a veggie and sometimes I've wished I'd pretended I were, just to avoid luncheon meat and battery chickens.

That's fair enough.

It's TLM that has the issue and he's buggered off. Maybe he's feeding his boyfriend.

(yes, that has tickled me and I will keep repeating it. Just for a little while)

Because it's a fucking stupid thing. There is absolutely no need to have a word for some daft cunt who thinks "meat is murder" yet it's somehow OK to scran a fish.

I'm not referring to you there btw, although in your case it's still as stupid. You don't like beef, but you like fish. Whoa. Why does that need it's own word? Should there be a special word for someone who likes chicken but doesn't like bacon?

It's the mammal/invertebrates difference though isn't it.

What do you think it should be called?
