I had a friend over for lunch today.
We were talking about food and so on, and my friend said that she could never be a vegetarian because "vegetarian food is boring."
I said that IMO this wasn't the case, as there are loads of different ways to cook vegetarian food, so if you do a bit of research into vegetarian recipes and use a bit of imagination, I couldn't see how you'd get bored of it. I admit someone who likes eating meat would probably miss meat if they never had it, but I don't think that's the same as being "bored".
I can see that if you only cooked a narrow range of vegetarian receipes then you could get bored of being a vegetarian very quickly - but I think that it's equally possible to have a boring meat based diet, if you only cook a narrow range of meat based receipes. So the boringness of a diet isn't down to whether or not it includes meat.
Friend was unconvinced by my arguments and continued to insist that a diet without meat must be boring. AIBU or is she?
(should point out here that I'm not a vegetarian myself and usually serve meat dishes when this friend is round for a meal)
