While randomly digging around Caterer's server earlier today (no, we don't really do any work here) I found this very interesting list of top 10 things not to say to vegetarians (supplied by the Vegetarian Society) from a back issue. We at Caterer HQ thought it was pretty funny but then again none of us is a vegetarian...
Top 10 things not to say to a vegetarian:
1) Bet you’d love a bite of my sausage luv.
2) But where do you get your protein from?
3) You still eat bacon sarnies though, don’t you?
4) I’m veggie too – I just eat chicken and fish.
5) I’m veggie Monday to Saturday, I just can’t miss my Sunday roast.
6) When you say you’re veggie babe, does that mean you don’t enjoy any meat at all(said with a wink and creepy smile from drunk men in clubs).
7) Hi, my name’s Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
8) Do you eat wafer-thin ham though? (From Nana in The Royal Family!)
9) So you’re vegetarian, what about the poor carrots…don’t you think they scream?
10) You don’t look like a vegetarian…you look really healthy.
