I thought so! I think I may have to make this a regular/semi-regular post. People here say hilarious things. I just have to recognize them (because I think most of them are pretty normal things to say!).
This is exactly the comment I was going to make! I’ve been veggie for over 30 years and have been asked this many times – though much less often these days. People are learning, slowly. The ones who really annoy me are the fish eaters who describe themselves as vegetarian – totally messes it up for the rest of us.
I’ve usually found weddings ok – it’s the Christmas lunches / dinners that annoy me when I pay the same price as everyone else and get a bowl of rice or a plate of vegetables!
Yes. That is a Wisconsin thing. If it’s not beef, it’s not meat.
Unless you’re a Wisconsonite, things like side cars for your bloody Mary don’t make sense either!
ROFL!! Was the one having chicken Blond? It would work as a blond joke. I was born blond and have so many blond moments, and love a funny blond joke. 🙂
And Catholics across the United States would rejoice if this were true, as it would allow the eating of chicken wings on that most important of days, the first Friday of March Madness.
It’s a bit like bacon – people here in Australia seem to forget where it comes from & it gets served up as tiny bits in mashed potato. I’m vegetarian and have been served big mounds of the stuff because they’re worried the other vegies won’t be filling enough!
I do this with chicken stock – I forget that it’s actually meat-based, and have accidentally served it without thinking (despite regularly making it from scratch, so knowing full well what it is. I just grab it and don’t recall that no everyone wants it!).

My daughter is a vegetarian, and sooo many times when asking for a vegetarian option at a restaurant, they will offer her the chicken or fish!! 🙂

Absolutely – technically they are Piscatarians! You also find at weddings/parties etc the only vegetarian option is a spoonful of rice!! 😀

Oh, risotto – tell me about it! Rice with a few bits in, the super-cheap option.

This is making me want to figure out what our vegetarian wedding option was. I just have to figure out who the vegetarians that were there were…

So, perhaps I should just continue to read the comments before chiming in.
And we had real vegetarian options at our wedding. I have no idea what they were, but they were on the bill.

Isn’t there a word for people who eat fish but no other meat? Pescatorians, or something like that?
Also, I am continuing to be surprised that people seem to think chicken and fish aren’t meat.

Oh so delightfully true. It’s not March Madness until the wings arrive. They’re probably en route even as we speak. 😀
