as a child i did
because I hated meat. I spent many sunday afternoons sitting at the table for hours after dinner, not allowed down because I hadn't eaten the horrible roasted carcass, and too stubborn/grossed out to eat it.

these days I like nut roast dinners v much, so there isn't really a preference. I have a bit of each thing, one at a time.
