13 things only vegetarians do
If you don't eat meat, you develop a few habits and skills that meat eaters will never really understand...
1. Google a restaurant's menu the moment someone suggests dining there.
Because crappy veggie options still aren't that unusual.
2. Dry retch when you walk past a butcher's shop and the smell hits you.
Do meat eaters seriously think that smells good..?!
3. Get annoyed when other people tuck into the special diet stuff at a buffet.
Eat one more veggie samosa and I'll eat you!
4. Buy hemp oil.
This fish-free source of omegas is a secret ingredient only seasoned veggies seem to know about.
5. Die a little inside when a mate uses Parmesan in your food.
“But it's not veggie!” you sob quietly...
6. Instantly fall in love with other veggies you meet at parties.
And you have a new temporary bestie until the recipe sharing conversation dries up.
7. Have 100% more patience for dumb questions.
“What about wafer-thin ham? Can you eat that?”
8. Enjoy a difficult relationship with pans that have been used to cook meat.
Do you leave it for the meat eater to clean, or do you scrub it yourself so you know it's clear of all animal?
9. Two words: Veggie Percy.
10. Find the smell of boiling cabbage oddly intoxicating.
Never something to actually vocalise though.
11. Have a fake surprised-yet-interested face.
For when meat eaters tell you how much vegetarian food they eat.
12. Know more than a dozen ways to use a butternut squash.
This humble veg is basically our best friend.
13. Not eat fish.
Not even a little bit.
