Non meat eaters,have you ever sneakily vegetarianised a meal?

Question

When I was veggie a good few years ago my girlfriend and me picked the prawns out of a supposedly veggie pizza.

It was that or no food at all,I didn't feel at all bad as I hadn't knowingly funded the meat industry and as the pizza was already bought and cooked , to bin it would have been an outright waste and of course I didn't actually eat any prawns.

So, have you ever 'tidied up' a meal?

Answer 1

I do it all the time. When I eat at my in-laws there is nothing without meat and I'm constantly picking it out. You can do whatever you want. I don't however, purchase any meat products. My in-laws just don't understand that I don't eat meat. It's actually really weird.

Answer 2

I've done it before, but I really prefer not to. I can usually taste it still. Not a fan.  

Answer 3

every friday for the next 3 months the only thing I'm able to eat is peperoni pizza i have my friends take off the peperoni and i take off the cheese just so i don't eat any meat they accidentally misses...i feel kind of bad about it but I am a person who gets very hungry (I'm not fat) but i like to eat alto and there's nothing else I am able to eat...i don't ever buy meat but if I am somewhere and the only thing they have is something with meat on it I'll just pick it out

Answer 4

I went to a party once and hadn't eaten in over a day. All there was to eat were heroes with cheese and meat. I took two sandwiches though and used the two slices of bread that hadn't touched the meat to make a cheese sandwich. On any normal circumstances I wouldn't be able to do it.

Answer 5

Depends on the veg person.  Some are such extreme activists that they would refuse a bought and cooked pizza just for the mere sake of it.  As long as it doesn't bother you, don't bother with it.

Save me the prawns.  I love seafood.

Answer 6

nah, like, it wus bother me too much that the meat juices got in it, even tho im a vegetarian for health reasons ♥  

Answer 7

not really. but that's just me, i'm kind squeamish when it comes to meat. i've been veg my whole life, so meat honestly really grosses me out. i wish i could do that though, that would save me a lot of trouble.

Answer 8

i need not fake anyone out.

i make them eat their veggies...   after that,  they can do as they wish with their digestive tract.

Answer 9

Yes! Especially at potlucks. If i didn't... I wouldn't be able to eat anything.

Answer 10

No.

I remember awhile ago I was at girl scouts and we were having a pizza party... someone had forgotten to buy cheese pizza so there was only pepperoni. There were two vegetarians, me and another girl. The leader's daughter said to her mom, "It's ok. Those two can just pick the pepperoni off." I was like, h**l no, I'm not touching a pig corpse!

So I ended up having chips for dinner. Haha. The other girl was given some pepperoni less bites from a friend. I was offered it, but the pizza reeked of pig flesh.

Answer 11

no, i dont. i've been a vegetarian since i was 4 though, so even the thought that i'm eating something that touched meat is just kind of gross to me. i dont even really like getting half pepperoni and half cheese. i'm usually with people who do eat meat though, so if something like that happens the food won't go to waste. i'll just be hungry for a few more hours.

but if it doesnt make you gag go for it, there isn't anything morally wrong with it or anything
