To be sick of people thinking vegetarian eat fish

[Dearaugust]

Also, people who eat fish but not meat calling themselves vegetarian!

When people find out I’m vegetarian, a lot of people ask me if I eat fish. If I ate fish, then I wouldn’t be vegetarian! It wasn’t a big deal really, but an incident has happened recently where I was choosing a meal for a wedding and there was only meat options and a “none of these due to dietary preferences” option. So I ticked that. The person then contacted DH (it’s his friend who is getting married) and he explained I’m vegetarian. A few days later she said not to worry, they have sorted a fish meal for me. So he’s now had to go back to her again saying I don’t eat fish. What a faff!

I honestly thought it was common knowledge that vegetarians don’t eat fish. But apparently not because i get asked it a lot.

This is just next level thick (from them obv, not you)

As the old Welsh saying goes, "There are none so twp as those who don't know that they're twp!"

I can still imagine that some hard-of-thinking people might think that means you just don't eat the face/head bit of the animal, but you're grand with eating all the other parts of the animal! You know, the same as the vast majority of omnivores, in fact!

What about a good old fashioned cheese and pickled onion hedgehog? It has a face.

Or Colin the caterpillar 😱

McCain Potato Smiles (I've just learnt that they are Smiles and not Smilies).

@Ohnonotmeagain - apparently there is a chippy in Scotland that will do you a battered, deep fried mini Colin the Caterpillar!

why does that not surprise me! I swear, Scotland will deep fry anything.
anyone see that come dine with me, where one lad deep fried everything. including lasagne, AND lettuce. it all looked really greasy and horrible, and everyone hated it
