As a vegetarian or vegan...?

Question

do you ever crave any meat food when you smell it cooking?

If so:

what was it?

you give in to the craving?!

and why.

Cheers :)

Answer 1

Some meat smells good and some smells revolting. When I LOOK at the meat I don't see food any longer no matter how good it smells. It all depends on whether you were raised around it. People that aren't fed meat growing up don't get tempted by the smell.

Answer 2

I LOVE the smell of steak on the BBQ....by neighbor cooks it all the time.

It used to be my favorite food before I learned how disgusting it's affects and origin is.

I'll still have a bite, if it's offered to me, but it NEVER tastes as good as it smells.

Answer 3

It's pretty weird-I'm not bloodthirsty and obsessed with meat. I actually think it's kind of unappetizing! I'm not afraid to look at it, and don't act like a scared little girl when I see it, but I just am not like my friends who say they couldn't survive without meat!

Answer 4

lol. I actually never really have. I became a vegetarian at 14 years of age for more than animal rights issues... I would actually get sick at the smell of meats cooking. The animal rights became more developed after.

Although when I was pregnant with my 2nd child my one meat craving was chinese food... specifically any chinese food with chicken lol.

Fun question.

OH and NO I didn't give in. The cravings didn't last that long for me anyways.. Plus I had other cravings too lol.

Answer 5

I've always been vegetarian so have no attachment to meat. I imagine the temptation to eat meat would be more intense for a former meat eater.

Answer 6

Sometimes I like the way that the BBQ smells but usually my cravings are just from the spices and sauce. I give into it by having some oven fries and i dip them in BBQ sauce.

Answer 7

mesquite bbq chicken.

nope!

b/c my fam grilled me veggies too with the same marinade.. GOOD STUFF!

Answer 8

I love the smell of roast lamb, particularly with mint or rosemary on it.  

No, I haven't succumbed to the divine smell as it is the smell I like, not the meat.

Answer 9

iwhen i stopped eating meat about three months ago i was craving a sausage sandwich for about a week then i thought it was sick so didn't eat it, and since then i have had massive cravings for powerade blue that stuff is lush!!!

Answer 10

Not really.

I kind of get nauseous sometimes...

& as vegans and vegetarians, giving into cravings means eating meat which goes against the main ideals of the lifestyle. Thusly they are not real vegans/veggies.

Answer 11

bacon! and a bacon butty! just cant do the veins and stuff... yuck!

Answer 12

Yes, chicken smells good, freshly made from morrisons, the extra tasty kind i think its called...... my mum never bought it when I wasnt vegetarian, now she buys it all the time.

Not gave in to the smell, been vegtarian for 2 years now.

My friends mum was vegetarian for like 15 years then she was cooking a sunday dinner for the family once and she gave in to the smell and apparently she sat there and ate the whole chicken.... there wasnt any meat left for the rest of the famly lol.

Answer 13

Answer 14

The smell of BBQ ribs and steak makes me salivate, but the smell at the meat counter at the grocery makes me ill.

No, I don't eat it because I don't want it.

Answer 15

I love BBQ smells, but it never gives me cravings for meat, It's more connected to childhood memories of camping out etc. I find the smell or meat frying or baking gross.

Answer 16
