OK so not Vegetarian but still a Veggi Chilli.

We me coz I'm the only fucker that cooks are trying to eat less meat since lockdown, I'm also trying to not waste anything so have been making my own stock by boiling veg scraps/meat bones etc. I used my stock and made a Veggi Chilli with pulses etc Knobby (DH) says it's pointless having the chilli without beef mince if I'm using chicken stock.
So IANBU it's still cutting down on meat
Or IABU and Knobby is correct and a meaty Veggi Chilli is pointless.

Veggi is also short hand for vegetable.

As in " I serve my children bolognese with hidden veggies"

As a vegetarian I do not want any meat or fish or any product that contains an animal based ingredient . So many food items have an animal by product in such as cheese can contain animal rennet, sweets, yoghurts, desserts, jellies, and even vitamins and medication often has gelatine in . sEven wine /beer in it's manufacturing can have fineings which I believe is something to do with fish bladders .

The OP is not vegetarian.
I mostly don't eat meat, but I don't mind chicken stock.

That's nice Victoria and we all understand that.

However, the hateful word 'veggie' with or without the 'e' is not uniquely a shortened form of the word 'vegetarian', it is equally used for vegetables. But it doesn't matter either way as no-one in the OPs house is vegetarian.

Your chilli dish is not vegetarian.

VWLolabunny9119 I'm not trying to reduce my DH meat intake, I'm trying to reduce mine, I am the one who cooks, whilst I am fairly happy with this I'm not willing to cook him something separate, if he doesn't like it he knows where the kitchen in (oh and the shops)

I have never said it is Vegetarian, I would not serve it to a Vegetarian.
