I wobble in and out of vegetarianism. For several years now I've been an omnivore because it's easier that way but we were in Waitrose this morning, buying a week's supply of meat and I had moment of revulsion and thought, "What on earth am I doing?"

Ailz and my mother had hamburger for lunch and I had a samosa and a bhaji with boiled rice and chutney.

Nicest meal I've had in ages...

I don't eat meat but there's no great socio-political standpoint involved- I'm just not keen.

However, I do wish people wouldn't teach their children to believe that a chicken is a nugget shaped animal that lives in a plastic bag in a supermarket freezer.

If you wish to eat meat and I've no issue at all with those who do so wish, at least be a bit fussy about sources and production methods.

Ailz loves meat and I've been going along with her, but I'm not that keen. Left to my own devices I'd live on vegetable curry.

I'd pay real money for someone who could make me samosas every day.

I'm afraid I bought the lunchtime one ready-made from the shop.

The term for you here in the States (because everyone/thing needs a label!) is "flexitarian".

That's a new one on me. I like it.

My cousin is a big meat eater so it is great when i can have some fish, any fish, as he hates fish.Salmon and trout are my favorites but i could never go total veggie.

I don't like cooking fish- I hate the way it scents the whole house- but I don't mind eating it.

Happy Birthday!

Or Multi Ani! as they say in Romania (in a vain attempt to leverage the current news headlines)

I eat meat because I love plants.

And many, many happy returns! May you see (at least) 21 X 5.

Thank you for your good wishes...
