Vegetarians, should I?!

Hi, I think no matter how hard you try to take out the big bits of chicken, there will still be small strands throughout the meal.

It's a shame on your Mom but I'd have to politely decline. Did she know you're veggie?!

Rather than getting her to make you something else, maybe just get yourself a sandwich or pasta. Anything you can make for yourself.

It's not rude as such. This is a meat dish and there's no way you can really turn it vegetarian simply by removing the larger bits of chicken.

A true vegetarian wouldn't. If it'd been cooked with meat in it, the juices will have percolated into the noodles and contaminated them- you might just as well eat the chicken.

To be a true vegetarian, you need to check food labels and avoid lots of things which may not seem to have come from meat, e.g. gelatin (boiled animal bones used to make jelly), isinglass (sturgeon fish bladder used to filter wine) and rennet (the lining of the cows stomach, used to make cheese). You can get vegetarian forms of these things, you just need to check the packets

It's like eating chicken noodle soup. Even if it doesn't have any chunks of chicken in it, it's still made of chicken. A vegetarian wouldn't eat it.

Next time, ask if she'll teach you how to make it, and make a vegetarian version while she makes the chicken (or pork, which is more traditional) version.

If it was cooked with the chicken in it then the chicken juices or broth would have spread throughout the dish and probably even soaked into the noodles. So, I would say that no part of the dish is vegetarian..

My parents always tell me to just pick it out. Every time I have to tell them if meat touched it and i have to pick it out. Im not eating it. So i would say DON'T PICK IT OUT! just make your own dinner and tell your mother she needs to respect your beliefs.

The chicken is cooked into it, so it's not vegetarian.

who cares? the chickens already dead, if you choose not to eat it, it wont bring it back to life

well I'm a vegetarian and i can't eat stuff that touched meat...

I would just have taken out the chicken! I wouldn't want to insult her, but if she's willing to offer a compromise, I don't see what is wrong with taking out the chicken in it.

Despite I am a strict vegetarian, I would NOT refuse to eat it when l can simply take out the part of it that isn't vegetarian.

no. it doesn't matter if it touched meat or not. it only matters if you eat the meat.
