Red rag to a bull. You'll end up in a protracted discussion about the nutritional benefits of various grains and pulses you've never heard of (best-case scenario) or animal rights

I don't have a problem with all the grains and pulses and stuff. Things like quinoa are quite nice.

But meat is fucking lovely.

I know, I know
I actually had quinoa for lunch yesterday. Simmered it for a while with some diced brocolli and boullion. It was really nice. But I'd rather have had SHARK

The problem with living with and cooking for a vegetarian is that meat is considered poor form. I do find it heightens my appreciation of it when I get it though

my ex was mostly a veggie as well
although she did eat fish, and if pushed chicken. She just didn't like meat, but unfortunately for her was allergic to peppers, and hated things like aubergine.

If she hadn't been a big fan of fish I couldn't have gone out with her for 2 and a half years.
