My vegetarian girlfriend has no vegetable peeler

I've been seeing this person for about two months now, and have known that she's been vegetarian for many years.

I've just found out that she has no vegetable peeler.

What should I do?

Buy her one as a sign of your commitment.

So she doesn't eat vegetables or she uses a knife to peel them?

Either way, get out whilst you have your dignity intact.

StealthPolarBear · 23/05/2010 16:32

Erm..is this serious? Maybse she eats the skin - the most nutritious bit (and maybe, like me, she tells herself that, instead of admitting she's lazy)
Or is this a sex thread, and I'm too dense to understand the euphemisms??

LordPanofthePeaks · 23/05/2010 16:32

anyone else trying to break this code????

JuJusDad · 23/05/2010 16:33

Can't I bin her? Is this not a red flag?

I hope this thread doesn't leek out to her
(best I could do at short notice)

KurriKurri · 23/05/2010 16:36

oh it's you shiney??
Was I right in my little assessment then?

differentID · 23/05/2010 16:40

A real man can peel veg with a knife!

JuJusDad · 23/05/2010 16:40

@ Shiney: Yes, dear.

Interesting suggestion, Kurri. Though it looks more like some torture instrument...

Bin her.

She's obviously a scrubber.

Mittz · 23/05/2010 16:58

start worrying if he asks you to dress like one!

bibbitybobbityhat · 23/05/2010 17:05

Yes, but she is a vegetablearian who doesn't like vegetables, isn't she?

Ah. A scrubber. So maybe that's what I need to use. Possibly on her.

JuJusDad · 23/05/2010 17:13

btw, this real man did use a small knife to peel the veg.

In the words of Shiney, JJDad, "shirrup and stop yer moaning"...

Btw, I have just used a knife to peel the potatoes.
