That would be H-.
A very good friend of mine, who now lives over in Britain somewhere- I think either near or in Scotland. From what I know of cuisine over there, she must have an interesting time indeed.

She's a vegan.

I've heard it said that vegans are basically Puritans without the Bible or the sense of humor. I would tend to agree with that assessment. H- not only refuses to eat anything of animal origin (except cheese and milk), but she refuses to be present when anyone else eats meat. (Or at least that was the last I knew.)

Okay, being militant about what you yourself eat is fine. But then enforcing that on others? Grrrrr.

In her defense, I've known others who do this as well. But she's the only one who is actually a friend of mine, so she's the only one with any impact on me in this regard.

It's too bad, really- I think that if she were to eat a balanced diet she wouldn't have anywhere near the problems with her health that she suffers through now. But like every other vegan I've known, she has to take supplements every day to counteract her malnutrition...

I know that there's a length/girth joke about eating meat in here somewhere, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
