To complain if a YHA posts pictures of beef tortilla on my facebook wall (I am a vegetarian)

This morning when I checked into my facebook wall a large picture of a beef tortilla was posted on it from a Youth hostel. I am friends with this YouthHostel having stayed there with family some years ago and had a lovely time. I go because it (and others) are self catering and outdooorsy) I felt sick- I am a hindu vegetaria. I asked the hostelmanager to remove the picture from my wall but instead the hostel defriended me 'for my own protection' AM I unreasonable to think a youth hostelling association should stick to pictures of the outdoors and hostel events and avoid posting stuff which could upset people of different cultures?

Burger me is this still going?

"Obviously I hid it.
More room at the YHA for beef lovers in future."

OlympicRingSting · 13/07/2012 20:18

Don't mince your words now. I'd give them a right grilling. All form an orderly Bar b queue now, all you beef lovers

BupcakesandCunting · 13/07/2012 20:19

I think that OP needs to kick the YHA right in the rump.

LadyBeagleEyes · 13/07/2012 20:20

Was it a particular youth hostel OP, or just the YHA in general?

hairylemon · 13/07/2012 20:20

These meat puns are rib tickling

quoteunquote · 13/07/2012 20:23

having spent most of my childhood munro bagging,

I find this thread really funny, because the YHA were always full of vegan / vegetarian Quakers, probable still are,

this is a fantastic YHA, a must on anyone listalec guinness loved it.

squeakytoy · 13/07/2012 20:23

please tell me how a photo of a beef tortilla made you feel threatened and vulnerable... it wasnt going to jump out of your computer and say moo to you!

OlympicRingSting · 13/07/2012 20:23

What do you do if a Tesco delivery van goes past you with a picture of Beef on the side? Jump behind a hedge? Ocado vans seem to be wholly vegetarian... Although that may upset some Hindu Jains (only eat things grown above ground)

HoneyDragonWearingLederhosen · 13/07/2012 20:24

I think they defriended you because they are Mexican and felt you insulted their culture.

OlympicRingSting · 13/07/2012 20:27

I hope this weather isn't too chilli for people out hosteling this weekend...

RubyGates · 13/07/2012 20:27

Ooooh, now this looks nice:

And it's just down the road from me. Thanks OP for alerting me to its existence Grin

TicketToHull · 13/07/2012 20:30

Is this one of those "testing out an analogy" threads?

BupcakesandCunting · 13/07/2012 20:30

If it is muddy, I hope that the hostelers have remembered to pack their beef wellingtons.

squeakytoy · 13/07/2012 20:32

Well if they havent it might be beef curtains...

BupcakesandCunting · 13/07/2012 20:34

Don't skirt around the issue, OP.

confusedpixie · 13/07/2012 20:36

Thanks for the Lee Valley link Ruby, it's just down the road from the whitewater centre Grin

I wish I could come up with some meat puns, this thread is entertaining!

BupcakesandCunting · 13/07/2012 20:38

Ooh that hostel looks lovely, Ruby. Only downside is that there's bunk-beds and we'd row over who sleeps on the topside.

squeakytoy · 13/07/2012 20:40

Must be a bloody nightmare if the maccy d's truck goes past.. the size of that burger on there!

MoonlightandRoses · 13/07/2012 20:42

Grin - for the otherwise comment - it's possible the OP may have referred to Urban Dictionary for beef tortilla 'recipes' . Can't see the YHA using any of them myself but, you never know - maybe it was an 'alternative' venue?

[Not quite as mad as the Shazzers threads, but mildly amusing for a Friday with Wine ]

WorraLiberty · 13/07/2012 20:43

Nice on OP, you picked the right nickname!

sabbby82 · 13/07/2012 20:47

Best thread ever!! Having a right giggle!
How do you watch any tv? What if an add for 'old el paso' comes on?

OlympicRingSting · 13/07/2012 20:52

It's not the hostel near the Tower of London is it? They have Beefeaters and beeflovers there...

funnyperson · 13/07/2012 20:54

Have discovered I can delete newsfeed without unfriending. It was a particular hostel so no need to unfriend the lot.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their laugh.
