This is a question My job: Expectation vs Reality

When I worked as a window cleaner, everybody - and I mean everybody - I knew asked me the "how's yer father" question. The truth was that I was always knackered and freezing, and the only nudity I saw was some fat bloke's arse. Tell us how your work differs from the expectation.

Thanks to Rotating Wobbly Hat for the idea

Somebody in the office offered me a vegan cupcake yesterday.
"What makes it a vegan cupcake?" I asked.
"Well, it's made with hazelnut milk and there are no eggs in it". She explained. "Also, the glaze hasn't quite set how I expected, so it's a bit sticky".

Despite having no interest in eating this animal product-free piece of crap, my innate sense of politeness took over and I accepted a cake.

It was brown and it was too sticky. I almost held my breath as I took my first bite, expecting the inevitable wholemealy taste of brown flour and grain, like when someone tries to make a bacon and fried egg sandwich with brown bread or eating a dry Ryvita.

I was already planning my anti-vegan rant: "We have evolved as omnivores that require animal fats and meat protein to produce energy", "Our stomachs have adapted to handle cow's milk perfectly well, actually" and "Vegan's are always ill - at least they look it".

But it tasted nice.

You're thinking of gluten free.

You can't have met many people who eat vegan diets if you think we look ill
I've been baking vegan cakes for years and they're always popular. Unfortunately a small number of people do cling on to old misconceptions.

I'd never use brown flour though, that would be weird...
