Meanwhile, I could NEVER go vegan! I love cheese, butter, yogurt, eggs, etc.<br /><br />P.S. I love the things you've been eating in London! I've never thought of some of those food combinations. Looks like I'll have to branch out a bit.Sarah Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02178615892635359729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599126284273478674.post-34471957664844122402011-02-02T06:03:57.941-07:002011-02-02T06:03:57.941-07:00You were raised by a mother who was frequently acc...You were raised by a mother who was frequently accidentally vegetarian in her cooking.

Her cookies are always good, it's just not her favorite normal go-to recipe. And Pizza without cheese is good too, I just don't call it pizza. I call it "seasoned bread for dipping", or "bruscheta medium" or "something's missing."<br /><br />i digress. you inspire me. I'm on my way to some self-caveated version of flexitarian, i believe.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757730964526611385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599126284273478674.post-78527925602796877532011-02-01T11:28:44.807-07:002011-02-01T11:28:44.807-07:00you know, cookies can be made with ground flax see...you know, cookies can be made with ground flax seed and water en lieu of eggs and they taste just as delicious.<br /><br />and pizza without cheese is underrated. <br /><br />YOU CAN DO IT, Eric! Or you could be like all of us cool kids and call yourself a flexitarian and only eat meat sparingly. It's a novel idea, to be sure. (I try to not eat meat more than twice a week and never red, but that's because I am awesome.)<br /><br />bon chanceAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498750042795390934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599126284273478674.post-24964538554950947502011-02-01T05:21:16.757-07:002011-02-01T05:21:16.757-07:00@Keegan, yeah, Christmas and Thanksgiving would be...@Keegan, yeah, Christmas and Thanksgiving would be painful unless I was already an established vegetarian, which I don't ever plan on being. <br /><br />@Molly, I've already been here a month, and tried A LOT of meaty things, including British meat pies, British meat-filled sandwiches, Italian Pasta Carbonara with bacon, and pizza with sausage, steamed pork and chicken buns from chinatown, lots of meaty Indian food, German sausages, Thai beef salad, Turkish Lamb Doner kebabs...and the list goes on and on. I'll still be here in March, and it will continue then. This is not a hiatus from good food in London, this is a hiatus from meat in London. I anticipate that it will actually open doors to great food I otherwise would not have enjoyed, since there are so many vegetarians here, those options are many. Close doors are only closed for a month. But open doors will be open forever afterward.erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08757730964526611385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599126284273478674.post-70989272489106306372011-02-01T05:03:52.848-07:002011-02-01T05:03:52.848-07:00My first thought was, "In London?

When there's so many amazing things to try?" then I said, "I hope Jaime eats an amazing juicy burger right in front of him." sorry.<br /><br />But after reading your blog, I can say I admire your efforts and am curious to see your take on anti-meat people. Also, E: AMEN to the vegan thoughts.Molly Houxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15087612960233386007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6599126284273478674.post-7372361477370604742011-02-01T05:00:40.496-07:002011-02-01T05:00:40.496-07:00I wish you the courage to face that meat-lovers pi...I wish you the courage to face that meat-lovers pizza and just say "Wait." "until next month."<br /><br />I was vegetarian for a year. It was alright but I had some problems around any holiday, because family gatherings mean limited food choices. There's no meat in chocolate so you should be safe for St. Valentine's day.Keeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542300744534062985noreply@blogger.com
