I want to eat vegan fish & chips on the beach

[FABAdvice]

Any U.K. recommendations? Thanks.

The vegan hate on here is off the charts!

If you can’t answer her question, sit the F down.

@FABAdvice so many rude comments it's shocking!

I personally think eating fish is worse than eating meat cos at least we farm meat, most fish we just drop nets into water and take what the heck we want. It's barbaric.

I hope you find some no fish, fish.

No catch on Brighton seafront. Athena B for tofish further along the coast from Brighton into Portslade. Enjoy!

Is it just hollow batter?

Maybe she doesn’t want to eat dead animal bodies?

If you’ve got nothing productive or nice to say maybe don’t say anything…

I might be suffering from a blinkered view, but I've genuinely not noticed this on Mumsnet.
I know that there can be a rude sneeriness on both sides, though.
I just find it weird and haven't seen this level of upset, especially over what the name of the food is, for a while!

@HazeyjaneIII yep I've never seen it either. I am a little shocked at some of the abuse on here. I am not vegan although I have been known to eat vegan food as I can't eat dairy (sends me straight to the loo tmi lol) and honestly it's just food. It's not offensive, doesn't go round punching people in the face or swearing at bystanders so can't see why it's getting hate. If you don't like it don't eat it!

Mumsnet has become so weird.

I don't know. I think it reflects the oddball ideas many people have. The posts that express incredulity that vegans might eat food that resembles meat, despite multiple explanations from different people, remind me of a woman I used to known who was always badgering you to eat what she was eating, take up her hobbies, etc., and treated anything anyone else did that wasn't her cup of tea as misguided nonsense. The most bizarre manifestation was that she didn't believe in lesbians. She wasn't gay and the concept was for her therefore simply beyond comprehension.

That’s my point. It doesn’t happen. Vegans and vegetarians can cope with other people eating different food. Yet it’s always vegans and vegetarians that get the ‘pushy’ narrative.

That was my fault. I was being sarcastic but didn’t really make it clear. It doesn’t happen, but as soon as anyone starts a vegan or vegetarian thread the meat eater are right there moaning on about other people’s dietary and ethical choices.

🤣🤣🤣 👏

Why does it bother you. People can call it what they like.

I'll give you a couple of examples - hotdog and toad in the hole.

Although a few posters on this thread could be doing with toad in the hole...

Or a potato, rice, a carrot?

It is a thing, it exists, you are wrong.

Baked potato with beans. Imagine never having eaten that.

Why are the meat eaters so angry? 🤣🤣🤣

Most chippies dont use beef dripping, only seems to be a thing around Scarborough area

Or any kind of fruit or vegetables?

Yes, that was a mad comment, everyone has eaten some vegan food.

I guess maybe people don't classify it as that, I've been picking at a box of cherry tomatoes, now it is vegan, obviously, but I wouldn't have mentally classified it as such, just as something I fancied. More people do eat vegan occasionally than they realise.

But i can still find the idea of trying to replicate other foods a bit odd. When other options are available. Someone mentioned a mushy pea fritter. I'd totally order that.

I wouldn't eat any of those things - they're obviously not healthy at all. But neither are they pretending to be.

If you don't want to eat meat/fish/dairy fine, but don't pretend it's healthy and do not feed it to your children.

On a thread about deep fried and battered fish / banana blossom / tofu and chips, I don’t think you can accuse anyone of claiming it’s healthy.

Also, sorry to break it to you, but it’s also not up to you what other people feed their kids.

Probably folate deficiency, that can cause anger and irritability. They should eat some pulses, legumes and leafy greens if they could just bring themselves to eat vegan foods...

Genuine question - what do you feel is so bad about a vegan diet and why shouldn't children be raised vegan?

And Bridlington.

No. We will call our food whatever we like, and no amount of braying by militant meat eating busy bodies is going to change that. If you didn't previously understand that the word vegan before the name of an animal product, fish/egg/chicken/cheese etc indicated it wasn't made from an animal, then now you do, and can happily avoid these foods and go about your business.
