New topic
PrintablePerhaps because theres some people who are trying to switch over to a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle, but have a hard time doing to because they miss the flavors and textures of meat dishes. | |

If they are against eating meat why eat veggie BURGERS, Chicken Nuggets, Steaks, Fillets, Mince, Turkey etc etc.. I would think they wouldnt like to be reminded of eating animals/meat... Now please dont make this a war against meat eaters/non meat eaters.. I would just like to know.. 
Its always baffled me.. http://www.prince.org/msg/100/122971 | |

That's kinda like asking why do lesbians play with dildos? I mean, they're shaped like dicks, right? So they may as well be playing with a real dick.

Redbaby, I also just wanted to comment on this but forgot to do so in my original post. Chicken nuggets are, well, "nugget" shaped - I'm not quite sure what part of the chicken this is meant to resemble ... sausages aren't exactly meat-shaped either, nor are burgers, and fish don't have fingers. They've all been developed as new ways of eating meat/fish, designed to tempt new buyers. My point is that it's not just manufacturers of vegetarian foods who try to disguise the food they're producing. [Edited 11/22/04 6:54am] Absolute Genius! 
Before i read both of your (and IB's  ) responses I was just going to write For variety Red, as variety tis the spice of life. And to elaborate on IB's point about adaptability, a lot of people (vegetarians included) are not chefs, recipe books are massively biased to a non vegetarians and it is easier to throw in veggie mince to a recipe that is vegetarian except for the mince part and have an easy meal.
On the flipside and as a note, I once conducted a small study on the adaptability of including meat in vegetarian substitute meat recipes to compare them for taste  Happy is he who finds out the causes for things.Virgil (70-19 BC). Virgil was such a lying bastard! | |

Being a vegetarian i've also been wondering about this
Personally i don't buy anything that looks or tastes like meat (although it's been about 22 years since it ate meat , so i don't really remember the taste of it) | |

A more important question would be - Why would a meat eater choose to consume a big mac?  [Edited 11/22/04 16:25pm] You'll never know a girl called Nikki and you'll never find Erotic City | |

[Edited 11/22/04 16:25pm] Because they believe it tastes good to them? 
Is this a trick question? | |

[Edited 11/22/04 4:49am] Do you eat meat? If you're a vegetarian/vegan, then fair enough. Otherwise isn't it a little silly to say "Oh, I'll eat cow and pig but not cat and dog!" Personally, I don't see a difference. I've had countless pets in my lifetime, and currently have 2 dogs and 2 fish. But if I was in a foreign country I wouldn't think twice about at least trying dog or cat if it was offered to me. Look at <-this! I AM A CAT!
