`Vegetarians, you ever have a meltdown over meat?

[Tulip]

I’m basically asking if you have been so tempted that you cheated on your plan. For those who are not vegetarians, have you been around a vegetarian who has? I only have three times and last night was one of those times.

Now, I was planning to cook but that went awry so off to a restaurant I went with a friend who also did not want to cook. Ruth’s Chris Steak House which is not too far down the street. I really had the taste for it, but did try to offer some other suggestions since I knew said friend didn’t eat red meat. Said friend was cool with it.

My favorite things there are the au gratin potatoes and petite filet with shrimp. However, this time I ordered a ribeye (lol). What can I say, it was cold, and I was hungry. My friend is the type of “vegetarian” who eats poultry and seafood but ordered some veggie entrée thing.

Everything went fine during the salad and then the food arrived. The steak was perfection I kid you not. Here we are eating this overpriced food and drinking this overpriced wine and all is well I thought. Said friend had a funny look on his face. I finally jokingly asked if he wanted a bite and he said YES!

Ok, no problem. I sliced him a nice big bite and do you know what happened next?

He pushed his dish to the side and ate my steak. :dwl He didn’t completely go primal on me because he did pause to ask if I was going to eat the rest of it. Well, I said I had intended to but I’m good with the au gratin potatoes and spinach. (Clearly, he wanted it wayyy more than I did.)

So, has this happened to you? Does the strong desire to eat meat ever go away if you like it? I’m just curious. (We did talk briefly this morning, and it flew through his system at the speed of light but he doesn’t regret it.)

my husband and i tried that lacto-ovo-pesceterian thing for a while....did ok til one day we just had a taste for some real meat...


since then i have not looked back...i go through phases in my diet where i want nothing but meat then i only want fish or pure veggie....like this past summer i od'd on the ribs and now thinking of them makes me want to barf but by next summer when it's grilling season again i am sure i will have a tastebud for it...

my mom's going away for a couple months so i will be going back to a leaner diet which she feigns...she calls it white people food.... the oxtail and stew peas and curry goat dinners kinda clyde mi...

um, yah, that is NOT a 'vegetarian'. not even a 'type' of vegetarian. what parta seafood and poultry is 'veg'?

'vegetarian' means eat no flesh at all. this person just gave up 'red meat' - but they still eat other meats. they not no kinda vegetarian.

since said person never gave up their taste to eat meat in the first place, it's no surprise that they had a hankering for some steak.

Re: `Vegetarians, you ever have a meltdown over meat?

Skelly, I go through my phases too. Grilling time is surely great meat eating time, but I eat my heaviest food in winter. How cute that you and your husband were on a team and decided screw this, give me a porterhouse or something lol.

I agree that I don't personally consider people who still eat any flesh vegetarian. But they do so I just let it go. You almost need a chart to list the different types of vegetarians.

So, I take it you are one with the ire you spit out your post. So do you ever have the taste for meat Sistacaf? Also, did you ever like it in the first place?

Re: `Vegetarians, you ever have a meltdown over meat?

nah, i eat pretty much everything, in moderation - i also do love vegetarian dishes and cook them too.

my ire (really is just annoyance) is towards ppl who front like they something they're not.

it's just plain as obvious day that someone who eats fish and poultry is a meat-eater so why they even tryna use the word 'vegetarian?&quot; - which means the diet is veg only. It's not a matter of what someone 'considers' it to be, it is what it is -- one who eats meat, no matter what color the meat is, is just not a vegetarian. :shrug: It makes no sense.

i no really care in the grand scheme of things, and i don't bother get into it with someone, they can say what they like - but it DOES make me wonder: &quot;Are they too dumb to understand what the word means?&quot;

An interesting thing to note is that someone who eats only veg, (either from small or after a few years), can possibly eventually stop producing the digestive enzymes needed for the body to digest meat; eating any flesh would make them sick.

So it's no surprise that for a one who eats chicken &amp; fish, who has not given up eating meat - craving some 'red' meat occasionally, is not much of a stretch for them. And it would give them no digestive problems.

Re: `Vegetarians, you ever have a meltdown over meat?

ya kno..i still don't care for meaty stuff like that....steak is not on my list of favorites....however i will eat whatever is served...unless is some tripe or inside mess....but otherwise i still prefer chicken, shrimp, and fish
