John Curtice is on the TV again Friday

Bloody three monthly house inspection. Which means Kitty is on an away day and I'm just waiting to go back to bed.

Also HALF TERM.
 
I've been falling into a pattern of starting the week full of beans, working my arse, training hard and being DEAD come Thursday. Just realised I'm basically eating what Ms Ron is eating and shes averaging around 1300-1500 calories a day. Malnutrition lol.
 
Busing over for hard drinking.

Pray for me.

I'm not ill anymore btw, so this is only partly self destructive.
 
I'm having pizza and wine by myself.

I managed to drive the bottle into the side of my eye so may or may not have a black eye tomorrow.
 
I'm in bed already. Got a really irritating dry cough that nothing seems to settle!
 
Also the kids chose KFC tonight for dinner, I had the vegan burger (not chips as they told me they're not veggie) and this is what it said on the box;

Surely something is either vegan or not?!

"could come into contact with non-vegan ingredients" covers a whole multitude of "our food prep methods are very slapdash and we don't care" sins doesn't it?

I think that's an entirely standard get-out clause since Burger King were caught out trumpeting and promoting a vegan burger that it turned out was cooked on the same grill as all the meat stuff.

When I was veggie, I spoke to a KFC about why the chips weren't vegan and it was because they were cooked in the same fat as some of the other non- vegan products. (Though to be fair, I thought they were veggie, not vegan so your server might have been confused), but the burger was fine. It's the same kind of clause as the "no nuts, but might be handled with them" clause on food, which is basically on EVERYTHING!

But equally, if you're THAT militant a vegan, don't go into a KFC...

I'm only veggie, I wouldn't choose KFC myself but as it was the kids choice, it's just nice to know you have one thing you can eat. I googled it last night and they seem to suggest the chips are cooked in the same oil as the popcorn chicken, which is why it's not veggie. Which is fair enough, but it just surprises me in this day that they don't have provisions for that!

I wasn't aiming that at you, just that if you're so militant a vegan that you'd object to something being on a hot plate after it's (presumably) been cleaned of any meat, then why are you in KFC?

Amazed at the popcorn chicken thing, though. That's actually ridiculous.
 
It's interesting- OLD ELLEN and I went to an amazing restaurant last week in Worthing called Crab Shack. It was SO good but literally NOTHING on the menu that didn't have fish in it. I get that you're specialised, but doesn't that just ruin things for the one person in a party who hates fish (hello Mr Sheena) or is a veggie? I don't understand the theory. Just one, basic vegan meal and you've got everything covered.

Yes I've often queried that mentality myself. When I went veggie I didn't get upset about meat being near my none meat, and if you're doing it for welfare reasons surely not supporting industrialised poultricide at all would be more appropriate than moaning your vegan burger had been in the same frier as some dead animals.
 
I do keep flirting with giving up meat again but then we went to a portugese restaurant last night and we shared a steak and it was amazing. Its hard enough not eating some animals, I don't think I can give them all up full time.
 
I’ve really fallen off the wagon. Realised only this morning I’ve had red meat five days in a row.

Have bought Linda Mcartney burgers for lunch in penance :D
 
A couple of years ago in Burger King I was in tears of frustration behind a woman holding up the queue for ages and demanding the poor 16 year old on a Saturday job get the regional manager on the phone to explain why 'plant based' doesn't mean 'vegan' as she couldn't grasp the concept.

I'm trying to only eat wild venison as a red meat at home. Its lovely but also rich so you don't tend to eat a lot of it all the time. Plus its cheap and if somethings got to die, you may as well eat it.
