Three years ago I made the decision to remove all meat from my diet. One of the most common questions I'm asked by horrified friends when they find out is 'do ya not miss it?' The answer is always a firm NO! Not even slightly. I'm often asked by people with baffled faces 'so what do you eat?' There is so many tasty and nutritious vegetarian and pescetarian meals out there that this omission really hasn't been a big issue in my life.
Another common question I get is 'so why did you give up meat?' This story is not very exciting either. In September 2011 I was given a lamb dinner by my mother. In the middle of eating it I got this awful feeling of Oh My God, I'm eating a little lamb. Then it dawned on me. It's the same whether it be a beef burger, a slice of ham, a leg of chicken. That was it. There and then I gave it up and haven't looked back.
I do eat fish though. It's very good for you plus the texture is different and that's probably why i can eat it. I have a bit of a rep with my friends as being a bad cook. I can cook but I'm not one of those natural cooks that can just throw things together. I need a recipe and that's what I'm hoping to share with you guys here. By all means if any of you have a vegetarian or pescatarian recipe drop me a line. I would be more than happy to try it out and review it (giving you the credit of course).
