because we primarily choose not to eat meat due to moral reasons
????
don't be a moron.
have you seen
the cravendale advert?
if roles were reversed...
...which they aren't...
I still don't like the texture of meat
still cant dissociate it from flesh in my mind, most of the time. I'm ok with vegetarian sausages but that's about it.
I think
the main thing that vege products fail to replicate is the texture. So it's not a problem for me.
My dad had some vegetarian black pudding the other week
I didnt try any. Weird.
that does seem very pointless
though, i had vege haggis in Edinburgh recently, and that was alright. Not that I've ever tasted real haggis.
god, you're lucky...
i had haggis once.
i quite liked it.
haggis is lovely
endthread
veggie haggis, neeps and tatties
is the best food ever, this is a fact.
oooh
i had veggie black pudding a couple of years ago for christmas. It was pure boufing (non scots: rank rotten)!!
because most people don't eat meat because they don't like the taste?
or rather
most people that don't eat don't do so because they don't like the taste.
I'm a veggie
but quorn ain't my thing it tastes the same..... except for Those Mexican Burgers...
MMMMmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMM
ggoood shit right there...
But I mean i'm mostly veggie coz it's healthier fae you!
but you're missing out
on goodness that only meat can give you!
MUUUUUURDDEEEEER
what does it give you?
Iron? Protein?
You can get that fae other stuff
i.e. beans, pulses, vitamins.........
HEY - YOUR BRAIN CALLED
IT'S WONDER WHY YOU TWO NEVER TALK ANYMORE!!!!!
ba-dum tish.
oh, laura
what would be a better
shape and look for quorn?
I like quorn, I like chicken, it's all good.
blah
I'd call you a carnivore though LlLlLydon
i dunno
just soemthing that doesnt try and look like chicken
its insulting to both the dead chicken
and me.
I can't work out what FAO means
but because morally, they don't want, and don't think animals need to die for them to survive, but at the same time, they like the taste of meat.
Although quorn is starting to freak me out now, because i've started thinking 'this could be meat, and i wouldn't know', so i'm mostly eating lentils and apples and tangerines.
(For the Attention Of)
For Attention Of
badum bum chh
fair enough
for those that dont like the taste of meat
and veggies that dont try to substitute meat with a similar product
i just dont understand why you'd wanna eat fake meat?
it's not fake meat
it's just a nutritious substitute
^^^
it's for people like me who are too lazy to find better substitutes for protein.
Because it's not fake meat
it's just a product that doesent contain meat.
If they wanted to make it authentic
theyd put fake blood and horrid stringy bits and fat and.... eugh...
seriously
i know you're scottish but not all meat is like haggis
geez give a cow a break...
oh, just piss off.
wooh were all
Scottish and veggies what a coincidence!
but you two are weegies
you'd be
great in a debate
(internet sarcasm x100)
eh
no sarcasm...... ipso facto darling...
wasnt to you
darling.
this is hardly debate
this is spelling out something which is fairly basic, even to a five year old. You're being deliberately difficult and then you're idiotic enough to mention haggis, just because we're scottish.
Were you given a free lobotomy when you bought your turkey this year or something?
its actually
on order from M&S this year.
but no need to get all personal, i was just seriously wondering
and the haggis thing was a joke
you know, something that's not meant to be taken so seriously.
talk about curiousity killed the cat.
fair enough to ask the question
but when someone replies with a reasonable and logical answer and the person refuses to listen, it stinks of petulence and immaturity. It seemed like you've already came to your conclusion before you even posted the thread.
and that haggis shit really pisses me off. but i'm highly strung, so there you go!
petulance*
Okay, imagine
that you really bloody loved sherbert lemons.
One day, you found out that 1,000,000 babies died everytime you ate one, but there was another product that tasted and looked exactly like sherbert lemons, without the baby death. Which would you choose to eat?
oh you brought up dead babies
ok ok ok
rubbish joke
and maybe awful
but I laugh everytime
Whats the difference between a Ferrari and a pile of dead babies?????
I don't have a ferrari in my garage
oh gosh
How do you get 10 babies in a bucket?
Blender.
How do you get them back out?
Doritos.
oh that is disgusting
...
I have a diary that
tells me one dead baby joke a day.
By diary i mean friend.
yes...
*shakes head sympathetically*
and my friend is my calander =]
but what babies die
when i eat meat?
Cow babies
and sheep babies!
And baby jesus.
You monster.
you are a moron
and you're insolent
hurray for us.
learn to read the boards properly
that reply was not to you.
in that case i'm sorry
and we're arguing the same thing really. :/
bf
I'd say a similar thing, but take more of a 'why do they bother making this shit' angle.
There are so many amazing vegetables. I have no idea what would possess someone to eat a tofu sausage or some other such muck
ps- I kinda like quorn
what does bf mean?
sorry i'm slow and cold.
bf
bacon fat
doesn't it mean
breast fuck? or summit
Yeah
I hardly ever eat quorn. To be fair, my step mum cooks the meals, and shes really good at making nutritious'n'deliciously varied veggie meals. I'm gonna have to learn to cook those recipes before I go off to uni...
o0o
I could give you a nice veggie cous cous recipe
on the subject of couscous... it actually means *cough* *whispers* fanny...
*blushes*
bf
all you need to know is - fry an onion.
If you can get that far, you're onto a winner.
you're so thick
im actually
not tbh.
no need for insults, i just wonder why veggies would be so against meat for ethical reasons but then go and devour soemthing that tastes just like it.
wouldn't you want to distance yourself from it a bit?
if you were an animal
i would kill and eat you
technically i am
an animal
they're against it because it's morally wrong.
the taste isn't usually the main issue. so why not eat something that tastes similar, but avoids murdering animals?
you're right in a way
baout it looking like meet and all that jazz... but that's nt why veggies eat quorn it's just there to substitute meat... and it's a good idea ain away coz loads of people use it because they are having veggies comin over fae tea and they don't want to have loads of veggies... also if you're a veggie and your kids aren't then you could say that the quorn was actualyy: chicken/sausage/mince... so on so forth
who the fuck cares what anyone eats?
just leave them alone (but you are allowed a sly chuckle at that bacon stuff).
exactly.
and the bacon stuff is pretty disgusting.
clearly, you are.
Right:
There are no inherent qualities to meat, i.e Beef doesent taste like a dead cow that's been cooked, it just tastes like beef. If something was made to be exactly the same as a steak, but it was synthesized in a lab, it wouldn't be dead cow, it would just be beef.
Liking the taste of beef isn't liking the taste of dead cow.
For me, personally, I DO find it hard to dissociate myself from it, but that's just a weakness on my part. I have no problem with eating quorn other than i don't like the taste of it; part of the reason why I don't eat meat.
I'd stop eating quorn if it became monopolised, sold as a neccessity, and eaten with every meal as the status quo, however...
i really hope she can understand this
SHE?!
Haha, so it is. I rarely encounter females with this level of misunderstanding.
i would be insulted
but it seems that i dont have enough brain cells to process such complex emotions.
hmmm better get back to my AS Biology Coursework
however did they let me enter such a difficult course with my lack of understanding?
by your ability to memorise and splurge various facts onto a piece of paper?
im not
understanding
i wouldn't expect any more of you.
(y)
anybody can get 5 Cs at GCSE
don't flatter yourself.
7 A*s
actually
how the british education system is failing.
if you got 7 A*s
it most definitely is.
i only sit the exams
take that up with your local MP
probably verging on meanness now...
but yeah. It's real simple. COME ON.
^^^
I thought that Biology was the easiest science!
nah
chemistry is actually much easier (for me)
biology is a lot to remember (which is obviously hard for me and my lack of brain cells)
maths i'd say is easier than biology
and english is a dream : )
I like how you base smartness
on how well you did at high school. HAHAHAHa i find that hilarious.
there must be some truth to it
necause I got 10 As at GCSE and I'm well smart. ;)
You're still a young 'un too
Wait till you get to my age and all the "university of life" cliches just come rolling on out on cue!
true say
meat tastes like meat and not dead animals
but surely the whole isssue is that meat is a dead and cooked animal
therefore by trying to replicate the taste of meat you are in effect replicating what a dead cooked animal tastes like (without the animal)
it all kinda stinks to me.
if i was a vegetarian, i think i'd want to distance myself from animal flesh and its taste all together
but that'd just be me.
but you're not
and you clearly must have trouble using a knife and fork.
yeah
but that's cos im left handed
you're coming at this from a kind of weird angle.
'so if hypothetically i felt like this, which i don't, then i would feel like this, which i don't.'
hm.
Which leads us back to the original argument:
most vegetarians are so because of the political and moral factors involved, not the taste.
Eating quorn doesent contradict the morals and politics involved in eating meat, so it's ok. TAHDAH.
Replicate the taste of meat
Without killing an animal it's not hard to comprehend.
I LIKE HOW
because YOU would, hypothetically, be a certain type of veggie, you seem to think that this is what EVERY veggie should be like. Take your head out of the smugcloud and read the answers here in the thread instead of ignoring them, you absolute weirdo.
better question:
where do veggies stand on that weird stem cell cloned meat stuff?
From what I understand, scientists reckon they can take a cell from a chicken, clone it enough times to make a big pile of meat.
Would you eat that? Provided it didn't taste like shite.
