long term veggie. If I wouldn't feel comfortable killing it, then why eat it?

Do you feel comfortable cleaning out septic tanks? How about performing surgery?

고기.....딜리셔스.

Had some lovely steak (Korean beef) for dinner yesterday evening.

Had a funny conversation with my pathetically ignorant co-teacher recently.

Spin: Do Koreans eat 양고기?

pathetically ignorant co-teacher: it's not common.

Spin: In my country, roast lamb on a sunday afternoon is the height of excellence.

pathetically ignorant co-teacher: Lamb has a strange smell.

Spin: No it doesn't, you stupid t**t! Anyway, we use mint and rosemary and thyme with lamb.

pathetically ignorant co-teacher: Is that to get rid of the strange smell?

Spin: You're so stupid it truly defies belief. We use these things with lamb because it TASTES NICE, you dumb fookin 년.


I tried to order lamb one time at VIPS and the waitress warned me about the flavor before she would let me get it. I was perplexed. She said most Koreans find the flavor too strong, and sometimes need to start out with an in-between flavor. Can't remember what she recommended, but I told her that Americans are superior beings, thus I can eat literally anything.

Sorry. Okay, I'd have to choose "Meat" then, given the limited poll options. Seriously, what happened to degrees? I'm sure there are many others like me who are a lot closer to "No meat" strict vegetarians than to "Meat" in all shapes and guises. I've gone from "normal"/standard/average when I came to Korea, where the main dish of every meal is meat, to having meatless meals most of the time and when I do have meat, it's usually small amounts of fish. Poll don't seem useful.

That guy is wrong!


Maybe it's the lingering glow of last night's drunkenness, but that is quite possibly the the quote of the year.

Yeah, a "kd lang is butch" joke. I'm laughing like it's 1993.


Now it's on. Laughing


Its for the hardcore swishy vegan crowd

I find it amusing vegetarians will go on and on how meat is unhealthy and horrible...yada yada yada. and what do most veggies that I know eat? Hyperprocessed food out of a box, some made to resemble meat. Yep, much healthier.

But I will admit to being veg for 10 yrs, the texture of meat was too strange. After a while I just got tired of asking "how is that prepared?" "can I have it w/o...." or bringing my own food. That, and it's hard to say no to a surf & turf party in NE on the beach.

The real question is - will your body decompose naturally when you die? or do you eat a lot of processed crap?

I eat meat, and have done all my life. However my last three girlfriends have eaten none, fish only, or very little. So I have had mostly vegetarian meals at home for 12 years.

Sitting down now to a spag bog Smile
