So I'm going to DC this weekend, and I'm staying with my sister Friday and Saturday nights. We're trying to work out what to do for dinner Saturday. (Friday we're going to Agora for Turkish food, which sounds awesome.)
I suggest the lazy-ass pasta bake and throwing in some Quorn (chunks or grounds) for extra filling properties. She says "BF is a real meat-eater..." and I'm just like "if he's that inflexible, I'm happy to go out again."
So she replies with this "you threw a tantrum when you were younger and couldn't eat in restaurants, and we prefer to eat real meat. You don't like meat, I'm just trying to cover all our preferences."
First off, our grandmother decided it was a good idea to take a vegetarian to Steak and Ale. The only options that weren't meat were starches (baked potatoes) and sides (spinach, etc). Not exactly what I call dinner! Second off, it's not a "preference." If I eat meat, I have gastrointestinal distress. I found this out by accidentally eating ground beef a few years ago. (I was really hungry and brain-fried from an all-day tai chi workshop.)
Third off, is it that fucking hard to not eat meat just ONE fucking time? Seriously?
Fucking asshole meat-eaters. This is why I hate you.

Date: 2013-05-31 03:13 pm (UTC)From:Slightly relevant story:
A friend of mine was told by his doctor he needs to do 2 things:
Lose 100lbs
Eat more vegetables
He works in video games so I know he does long hours and doesn't have time to cook. So I recommended this book:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1568364369
It's a Buddhist cookbook adapted to stuff you can easily get in the USA.
He freaked. He thought that I was somehow telling him to go be a vegan.
WUT.
I eat more types of meat than he does! He eats more meat, but I've eaten practically all of Noah's fucking arc here.
Since this is on Failbook, a bunch of friends chime in, 80% freaking that OMG I'M ASSIMILATED BY THE VEGAN BORG. And they weren't joking, they posted crap like "well I'm anemic, my doctor told me to eat red meat at least 2x a week!"
STFU mang, I am too and I get 100g of Matsuzaka(aka Kobe) beef cubes to grill every week myself.
While I eat a LOT less meat in Japan, I still sure as hell eat meat. That and I obsess over honey so how the hell can you think I'm vegan based on that?
And d00d. All yuba may be tofu but not all tofu is yuba.
Kyoto really is something epic.
And I go just about every weekend. bwaahahahhaha
