Any leaves that aren't herbs. Especially lettuce, it's crunchy wet yuckness.

Weezol · 10/02/2018 20:30

A semi-vegan is a vegetarian, surely.

Uhuhhoney · 10/02/2018 20:34

Anything labled Vegan just the thought of smug hipsters lording it over everyone else in their holier than thou take on food just gives me the boak. Yes don't eat meat or animal by products that's your prerogative just shut the fuck up about it

Hahahaha. You avoid all food without dead animals or byproducts in?

Bless you

GlitterGlassEye · 10/02/2018 20:37

I assume it’s someone who doesn’t eat any animal product but wears leather shoes?

You’re vegan or you’re not at allConfused.

puglife15 · 10/02/2018 20:44

Cheap processed meat especially cheap sausages and chicken nuggets/shapes, and cheap non free range chickens. The thought makes me fucking shudder.

Also most eggs, I can't even buy supermarket free range organic eggs .

tripe

NewYearNiki · 10/02/2018 21:05

People call themselves semi-vegan when they are trying to eat less meat/animal products but don't actually want to cut it out entirely. Sometimes it's an environmental impact thing, sometimes animal welfare related

I never understood the environmental impact thing.

Vegans love their avocado mostly.

The avocados carbon footprint is massive.

They have to be grown in hot countries, for example South Africa, Chile, Peru.

On average about 240 litres of water is required to grow 1lb of avocado. In other words 1-2 avocados.

They need to be placed in loads of protective packaging right away to prevent degradation.

Then a long haul flight.

Be vegan because you want to but dont fool yourself you are doing the environment a favour.

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 10/02/2018 21:12

So to be semi vegan I eat vegan some days and I eat meat and animal products on others?

RogueAnnJosh · 10/02/2018 21:13

How the fuck is that semi vegan?
That’s just... eating
Hmm

AccidentallyRunToWindsor · 10/02/2018 21:32

Do you wake up in the morning and decide if it will be a vegan day or not?

EnthusiasmIsDisturbed · 10/02/2018 21:41

Oh so I’m semi vegetarian as some days I don’t eat mean or fish

Just becuase I don’t fancy it I can now pretend it for the greater good (whatever that isn’t)

GlitterGlassEye · 10/02/2018 23:44

I had rice with stir-fried veg today for dinner, I must be vegan for that meal only Confused. Am I semi-vegan now?

Roll with square sausage for breakfast.

Cottage cheese - it reminds me of thrush

Oysters - grey salty fishy snot

Currents sultanas have never ever tried them but they send my anxiety through the roof as they have always reminded me of a dead fly
Apparently I used to cry as a child if anyone ever put one in front of me 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉
They actually make me heave

AnnieAnoniMouse · 11/02/2018 02:05

I’m a vegetarian that doesn’t eat eggs. I’m also low carbing to avoid medication, but if I was invited to someone’s house that I didn’t know well (not close friends/family, they all work around it) I’d eat carbs to make it easier for them.

I don’t generally eat Quorn (I’m not sure it actually qualifies as food), but I’d eat it at a push if I went to someone’s house & they’d cooked it specifically for me.

I don’t eat goats cheese.

Other than that, I can’t think of anything I really ‘don’t eat’ though there are a few things I don’t really chose to eat if I’m cooking/ordering.

Clandestino · 11/02/2018 02:53

British and Irish style veggies and old style food in general. Stodgy and bland, horribly bland. Boiled ham with boiled cabbage and boiled potatoes with no seasoning. I grew up in a culinary culture where poor people had fuck all to eat in previous centuries but they compensated with spices, herbs and foraging so the food tasted of something.
Cheap burgers from the supermarket.
McDonald burgers and sausages meat. Why, just why would you eat plastic?
Salmon and mussels, salty snot.
Carp, yuck. Just yuck.
Lamb, tastes of dirty wet wool.
Cheap chocolate and American sweets which are just way too sweet and disgusting and taste like a mass produced cheap sugar nightmare.
Vegan proper food imitations. Sausages, cheese. It tastes vile and will never be the real stuff. And those vegan dairy free sweet syrups. Even DD refuses to use them and she thinks that Cadbury and Hershey's are chocolate.
Jellied and pickled fish.
Cooked onion. Fried is fine. Raw is fine. Cooked onion reminds me of my childhood when my DM believed that onion tea is great for a bad cough. Yuck.
Ah and mashed potatoes. The smoother the yuckier.

Mum2OneTeen · 11/02/2018 03:38
