Some well done, but not cremated, stars for you.</p> <p>I was a vegetarian for a while in my teens, and as that was in the 80s, it meant Christmas and family meals for me consisted of exactly the same as everyone else, just without meat. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44784#post-128304 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 16:44:13 +0000 grumblechops 128304@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I like this. My wife is a "pescetarian" so only eats meat that swims, but she won't eat crabs or lobsters as they have legs so are a bit too "animally". She will eat prawns though, because their legs are really small.</p> <p>And she ate snails when we were in Paris but she wasn't sure if they were OK or not so I promised I wouldn't tell anyone.... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44784#post-128278 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:01:36 +0000 jimmydodger 128278@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Lovely! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44784#post-128212 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 10:19:22 +0000 Yikes 128212@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>haha ... very nice! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44784#post-128211 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 10:15:48 +0000 Thor 128211@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>You forgot tigers; they can swim too. 5* </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=44784#post-128206 Sun, 01 Jul 2012 09:22:21 +0000 The Masked Frog 128206@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's been over 50 years since the first dinner party was ruined by someone saying, "I can't eat this I'm vegetarian", a protest then taken up by millions of people worldwide and which came to an end this morning. And its been a long and windy road for many protesters, some who had chosen to abstain from eating meat completely, and others who had only eaten animals that could swim, such as fish, penguins and bears.</p> <p> President of the vegetarian society Ernest Bell-Pepper announced this morning, "It's been one of the most successful and long running protests in human history. But everything has to come to an end. And quite frankly if I never see another fucking soya bean again, it'll be too soon. I'm off to that Michel Roux's place for some foie gras and a fillet steak."</p> <p>Paul Mccartney added "It has come to our attention that cows and sheep actually like being eaten. Either way they'd certainly eat us given half a chance. I will of course be continuing to flog Linda's veggie burgers, but now they'll have bacon in them."</p> <p>Butchers up and down the country are temporarily opening 7 days a week to deal with the sudden increase in demand. One butcher cheerfully told us: "The vegetarian protest certainly taught us a lesson over the last 50 years. But right now if I was a cow, sheep or pig I'd be shitting myself." </p>
