to think that Gluten free pork sausage rolls are not vegetarian?

[Bigmouthstrikesagain]

Really irritated by this and feel a strongly worded letter or email coming on... maybe I need to get out more!?

Anyway - in my local Tesco recently I noticed that the Vegetarian frozen section had gained some 'Dietary special' products - pizzas sausage rolls, lasagne that are for people with gluten allergies so they are not vegetarian, but they were in the section reserved for these products. The meat products across the aisle have gained some random veggie sausages and burgers, presumably to make rool for the Dietary specials.

Recalling my lovely but dopey housemate years ago who bought 'Organic' beef burgers thinkinhg that meant they were veggie I had visions of people buyingthe DS Sausage rolls thinking they were veggie. So I spoke to the shop manager about this.

Soon after I noticed that the 'Vegetarian' label was removed from the freezer containing the non-veggie interlopers but nowt else moved or changed.

Doing some online frozen shopping I looked in the Vegetarian and meat-free sectiion on the Tesco website those 'Dietary Special' products are in there and it just does not make sense to me. Domeone with a gluten allergy won't know to look in veggie surely and vegetarians could easily buy them in error. Shurely sshome mishtake!

Just seems really wierd am I the only one to notice this or am I just really pedantic?

Don't you know the Vegetarian Society rules Skyrg? When you join you have to promise only ever eat homemade organic foods and you get a 'knit you own hairshirt' pattern, I also make all my own shoes out of lentils.

I wove my own halo from free-range guineapig fur.

We noticed this in tescos too and I was a bit about it. DD2 gets very strict over her veggie stuff. I don't pack it in the same bag as meat products etc. I keep it entirely separate from buying it to eating it. So she was a bit stroppy to see the meat stuff sitting all among the veggie stuff on the shelves.

I doubt it makes an iota of difference to the actual food TBH (after all, it's all in plastic or boxes), but it makes her feel better to see it all segregated from the meat. I think Tescos will put off veggie customers because it gives out the message they aren't taking it seriously.

Ooh missed the shoes out of lentils bit! DD2 has a multicoloured hand knitted stripey jumper, will that do?

I was not aware bigmouth! I have been living my life in Vegetarian sin! I shall remedy this immediately...

Goblin, could I order one of those?

Skryg, do you not have a knitting and weaving circle who could instruct you in the making of one?

You need to have been living a life of vegetarian virtue for three decades or more to be pure enough for a halo. Weave your own lingerie from beansprouts and evidence it with photos and then we'll talk.

Possibly posy, but we're lacking in guinea pig
