Sir Brian May

[Cooperman]

My wife is very strict with her food, basically eating the same type of food every day. It's either boiled potatoes, jacket potato or mashed potato, with any amount of vegetables and quorn steaklet, or quorn roast (ham, beef ) quorn sausages or quorn crispy fillets. And that's it , everyday .

Ahh, not so good.

We were stuck in a traffic jam on the M50 going to a Swans away game in 2001 alongside a cattle truck.
One of the cows stuck its snout through the gap in the side of the truck,made a strange noise and my wife said “I’m never eating meat again” and hasn’t.

Every time I see a cattle truck on the motorway it keeps putting me off eating meat more and more.

Fair play to her, it's crazy how something like that can change your eating habits forever.

That was the Cardiff City supporters bus.

I'd happily go vegetarian tomorrow, it's convincing everyone else in the household to join which is the challenge.

A slight variation for me, but with the same issue.

Happy to reduce meat and I’m a big veg and salad fan, but everyone would turn their noses up and it simply wouldn’t work.

We try have at least 2/3 meat free days a week.

Tend to have pasta dishes on those days, our repertoire of vegetarian dishes isn't that expansive at the moment

Avoiding fish and meat or just meat?

Avoiding fish and meat or just meat?

Meat mainly, I'm not a huge fan of fish so we don't tend to eat a lot at home.

I think we’re quite big fish eaters, at least compared to friends and family. Most of our meat consumption is chicken although beef based dishes happen once a week on average. Pork and lamb once or twice a month and usually via the Sunday roast.

Will have a better go at reducing meat consumption once I go back to work (impossible now, got turkey curry for tonight ).

It's Christmas, hard to reduce consumption of anything at this time of the year

 

[K23]

My wife has been a vegetarian for probably 35 years, due to the issue with slaughtering animals. Have found that in the 20 years we have been together my intake of meat has dropped dramatically, only eating chicken very rarely now and never beef, lamb or pork.

As of this Boxing Day, I've been vegetarian for 52 years

 

[Itchysphincter]

No, it’s two tier animal welfare.

We don’t dig pigs out from their natural habitat and throw them to a pack of dogs who proceed to rip them apart.

Just a point of note, not argumentative, but I have a scent hound cut from that cloth and these dogs don’t kill the foxes, they track them and lead the hunt to them.

This is how a hunt is meant to operate, but not all hunters abide by the law.

We see loads of foxes, deer and squirrel and my dog could follow them all day if given the opportunity but I can guarantee that if they stopped running all she would do is try to play with them, if they weren’t interested she’d move on to something else. That’s in the nature of these hounds.

 

[monmouth]

Are you vegetarian, Skip? Have dabbled with it a few times and knocked up some glorious curries and chilli’s, but on each occasion it became difficult to avoid meat for one reason or another, hence I didn’t keep it going.

I’m vegetarian.

Apart from bacon.
