yeah, but she probably acts all weird about ti when you eat stuff.

like "no, i won't kiss you" kind of crap.

I've dated 2 different vegetarians, neigher were vegans though.  One didn't mind me eating meat the other didn't want me to eat it in her presence ~

JM

Dam you beat me to it.

I was going to ask if you kiss him after a big slab of bacon  [evil]

I'd rather have a pagen g/f  [evil]




 [laugh]

A friend of mine once compared having a militant vegan roommate with having a special-needs child.

anytime :-*


Does lm know? >:( [laugh]

What about "Makin Bacon" or is it "Makin little Radishes"

I'd prefer.... Bacon!

1 of said vegetarians was a pagan.  Interesting person too  [evil]

JM

How about a couple of cheeseburgers too, they're pretty thin.  ;D

sssssshhhhhhh


 [laugh]

I thought it was a pic of the Olsens  :-\

I've never dated vegatarians/vegans.  Too weird.  But I have dated a few vaginatarians.  Much easier to get along with when you have similar interests.

S'posed to be thin. They have desmosedici power-to-weight ratios.

...dated a vegan once. She had no problems with me eating meat in front of her...she just didnt like me cooking it around her... Alittle too much garlic.

...dated a vegetarian. No problems there either. A little tooo much garlic.

...dated a pescaterian. She eats incredible ammounts of garlic and SUUUUUPER hot. Her discesh make me cry if i only smell them...

...so, in my experiace, its all cool if you like garlic :)

amy (all the above)

 [laugh]

and she ate meat too

I actually LoL'e don that one  [laugh]

Luca, when you and Amy have dinner, how many place settings do you need, 4, 5,...7?

 [laugh]

No thanks, way too weird for me.

My GF was a vegetarian for years, then we started dating and a month later she was getting burgers with me.  She said she was goin to go back to being a vegetarian and is starting to now.

On a similar note, I met a girl that was a lesbian, she switched teams and we dated, when we broke up she went back to the all girls team.

My wife's a vegetarian. We were in New Orleans in a bar on Bourbon St. They had oysters on the half shell for $0.10 a piece. Needless to say I indulged.
Offered Sharon one. Got the are you f^&*ing nuts look, and was told " You know I don't eat DEAD animal products! "
"But Sharon these aren't dead yet"

Oh, the places this thread could go...  [laugh]

...you know Amy?

i used to squirm looking at, but mostly touching, uncooked meats...

i'm fine with it now  ;)

........Must....resist.....sexual.....commentary......

shall i edit the post to include that i'm talking about cooking?

and ruin it for everybody, hell no!

 [laugh]

That won't help, lemme show you:

"You can cook my meat any day!" <insert sexy whistle>  ;)

I guess that is more common than I thought  ;D

Wife has been a vegetarian since leaving for college - no issues for me really - I probably eat better than if she wasn't.  She cooks me and our daughter meat, but doesn't eat it.  Purely a taste thing for her, not a moral.

mitt

The only thing I've done differently since moving in with the vegan is keep the meat products on the bottom shelf, so they don't possibly drip on her food. That's it really.


You people calling vegans freaks are just hanging out with freaks who happen to be vegans. The two ain't bound.

freak lover  :P

That's freaky lover. Where are my chains?

sounds like the same story using different euphemisms.

"she don't eat meat but she sure likes the bone"

Lived with a vegetarian for four years. Introduced me a lot of foods I probably wouldn't have eaten otherwise. That was cool. But my wife makes the best damn meatballs ever and I wouldn't trade them for all the soy in China.

sac

Can you guys dial back on the euphemisms and innuendo?
It's getting a bit tiresome.

 [popcorn]

come on....

there are plenty of places on the web to be sophomoric...

you can register and be that way...

it would be refreshing if we could raise the bar a bit here.

I've never been a vegetarian or vegan, and I haven't dated one but I've been told by friends who are one or the other that they can smell meat on a guys breath.  One compared it to a non-smoker kissing a smoker - the smell can be completely over powering and disgusting to a non-smoker.  According to her it's the same with a vegetarian kissing a non-vegetarian (at least sometimes).

If that's really true I can understand why they might not want to be with someone who does eat meat.  I don't date smokers for the same reason.

hmmm, maybe the popcorn icon doesn't mean what i thought it did.

nah, it's a crock.  i didn't eat meat of any kind (including fish) for almost 18 years, and it never made a difference.  and i have a very sensitive nose.

smoking puts smoke particles directly on the tongue and mouth wherease a piece of steak passing across the tongue doesn't really leave anything detectable.  you might have a different body scent altogether, but you'd have to eat a LOT of something. 

it depends where the entertainment lies.

Your popcorn icon was posted after Speeddog's request.

Did I misread?

i was intending to mean not talking and sitting out and watching.

My previous boyfriend was a heavy smoker, I'd definitely take bacon breath over that. ;)

In that case disregard my comment.   ;D

what about buffalo steaks breath?

can't say I've experienced that one yet

bison (american buffalo) have like 50% less fat and usually are grass fed, so much healthier than grain fed cows.  bovines naturally eat mostly grass anyhow. 

tastes stronger but better imho.

pisses off vegans even more.

 [thumbsup]

I never judge or comment on other people's food choices.  I do think it would be nice if others could extend the same courtesy to me.

?   :)

that one part was a wry comment.  i don't imagine it would make any difference to someone if it was a cow or a buffalo at issue.

i eat vegetables too... i'm an equal opportunity eater.   [popcorn]

Sorry, that wasn't a specific response to that particular comment, just the general intolerance that I see.

Freak!  :P

freak lover! [roll]

we're all friends here no matter who or what we eat.   [beer]

don't confuse "internet edge" with anything more than what it is -- an ever expanding butt as we furiously type unripe opinion after unripe opinion..   [laugh]

thanks zzz ;)

I did date a girl a loooong ago that was vega-something.  She was realy nice.  People always gave her a hard time over it, made me mad.  You have to respect peoples' beliefs.

My very good buddy married a vegan, and went over to her side because he loved her that much.  I always thought that was pretty damn cool.

On the other hand, my ex grew up in Kentucky on cattle ranch, and I have hard evidence that she was a bona fide vampire . . . hmmm.   [roll]

I dated a Vegan for a half a year.  This was in my early, early 20's.  She was a super freak in teh sac  [evil] and in the head :P .  (crazy red-heads :-*  [bang] )

Anyways, she didn't mind me at all eating animals and such.  She even made a surprise dinner for me- Chicken.  It didn't turn out that good, but I was definitely surprised and appreciated the effort  [thumbsup]

That's all I have to contribute to this thread.

My wife's been a vegatarian for 20+ years and really has no issues with me eating anything other than young animals. Which really is of no concern to me. It also keeps me eating a bit healthier than I would on my own. Knowing her lifesyle (all other things being equal) she'll outlive me.

I've tried to give up on meat but it's a no-go. In the last two years I have been able to significantly cut down on my meat intake and often have salads for lunch.

Subconciously I'm trying to outlive her and prove her wrong. The ultimate long term arguement. [laugh]

to the vegan intolerance issue.
the only time i have problems with them is when they are militant. i have the same problem with people who are that way about any belief. that is when i take great joy in pissing them off to the point they are ready to fight me. i'm not telling you to eat meat, don't tell me that i shouldn't (esp if it's one of the hippy "don't kill the cute animals" type)
i have know a few of these types through my life. one of which got angry that i was punching a tree absentmindedly while waiting for a friend. she told me i couldn't hear the trees scream so i asked her if she could. when she said yes i told her she needed to see a psychiatrist because she's hearing things. after that i hardly ever saw her again.


i tried going vegetarian for a while to see if it actually made me healthier. i didn't notice a real difference except my hair and nails didn't grow as fast. ohh and i craved red meat. now i just try to balance it all out. i have cut back on the red meat and eat more chicken and pork. now if i could only get the "healthy" recipes to taste good  :)

LoTs of spices  ;)

cumin is a fav... and curry!

i've tried spices, but i'm not really used to working with a lot of the ones i would need so they comne out funky.
plus, the g/f is a VERY picky eater.

didn't you make fajitas with nutmeg once?  [laugh]

that was allspice. freshly ground

that's right  :)

try some herbs... she may like them better...

cilantro, basil, sage, rosemary....

a bit of rosemary i have gotten away with. the cilantro was declared "disgusting" and she spent 30 min trying ti pick it out.

seriously, it's like trying to feed a child

That's easy. No matter what it is just add butter, heavy whipping cream , white wine and a bit of chicken stock. Or vegetable stock if you want to keep it healthy.  ;)

sac

Just add bacon!

My problem is that vegan-ism often overlaps with environmentalism; I can put up with the V but not with the E... I don't need to be reminded I'm a horrible person for driving a fuel guzzling dinosaur, conspicuously consuming and generally having a great guilt-free time not believing in the whole global warming mythos. Used to have a friend who was along those lines, just itching to berate me on my food and lifestyle choices and make me feel guilty for not volunteering for some missionary work and giving all my expensive possessions to charity... We aren't friends anymore.

religious fanatics come in all varieties.  end result is always the same "Agree with me on everything, or forget it"

one thing ive always wondered is, how do lesbian vegans... ummmm... how do i say this without being offensive....  share their love?  is vagina considered meat?

Pssssst . . .



You are in for a spanking.   [popcorn]

Also, the lesbian members of this board may not find that comment all that funny.


sac

i guess i should have read the whole thread before that post.

at least not the vegan ones...

AYE WOT!

There is always the "remove" button. Its up and to the right.   [thumbsup]

(http://frostysfinishes.com/images/mofoyh4.gif)

he's right...

go find...or start the ban yourself thread. ;D

actually, I found it a bit obvious and crude and perhaps lacking a sense of style and flare, and I'm not a lesbian.

spanking?  nah....nothing needing moderation for the forum.  

If people want to walk the line for humor and let the majority decide if they are funny or just twelve that's fine by me.

(my moderator hat got lost tonight while walking around looking for places to eat with a vegaterian friend only to end up somewhere where she didn't eat anyway and we didn't like the food....sigh...frustrating a little which is how I imagine the initial post topic unless the person was pretty cool...although if she weren't cool we wouldn't be seeing each other and if she were the point is moot so there you go.)

good grief, how i restrained myself from posting a photo claiming to have found it...   [bang] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

Back on topic, having a vegan girlfriend means...

she is doing all the cooking!   :D


I love to cook but I don't know if I have enough talent to make a variety of vegan meals.  I can make oatmeal, hummus,  a few different salads, butternut squash soup, bruschetta, that's about it.  It would get boring real quick.

On a previous comment, cow meat would be very similar to buffalo meat nutritionally if the cows ate what the buffalo ate.  Most cattle ranching happens on a feed lot where cows stand around in their own piss and sh!t and eat corn, which is a food that their stomachs are not designed to digest.  Eating the corn causes the cattle to not be at the peak of their health, not to mention the fact that they spend all their days standing around in their own piss and sh!t.  The combo of crowded, stressful conditions as well as standing around in their own piss and sh!t causes higher rates of illness, which is why they are fed antibiotics.  Bison are more often on a ranch, where they eat grasses, like they are supposed to.  The grass is a more healthy and natural diet, the bison are not subjected to crowded conditions either.  Less illness, less antibiotics.  Grass fed beef, from whatever animal, is often leaner, but also has more of the "good" fats, similar to what wild salmon are known for.  Wild salmon eat fish that eat blue-green algae, which is where the good fatty acids are coming from.  (Similar fatty acids are found in grass.)  Incidentally, eating farm-raised salmon, often deceptively marketed as, "Atlantic Salmon" does not provide the same health benefits as eating wild salmon.  The farm raised fish are fed pellets, which are composed of whatever-the-cheapest-most-economical-product-available-is.  Think dog food.  From China.

In short, you are what you eat, and what you eat is what it eats.  Most Americans are in some way or another a product of corn.  [popcorn]

All that being said, I love me a good American STEAK.  Mmmmmm.   [wine]

If anyone has actually found this comment remotely interesting, and watches as much food-porn as I do, then I would suggest reading, "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan.  Good book, not preachy or anything, just interesting.
