Question? Let's make it an action too!
you don't look like a vegan.(i guess that means they think vegans are sickly and pale)
My dad thinks I'm trying to lose weight(My BMI is 21 and I already have a really low bodyfat %,so I can't lose much weight,I'm not even chubby or fat.)
What do you eat?
Do you eat fish?
My teacher pronounces it Vay-gun instead of Vee-Gun.
Some people think I'm a hippie because I have kind of long hair and I'm vegan and I skateboard.
What are you gonna do on Thanksgiving?(turkeys not the only thing there is to eat,they didn't even have turkey at the first thanksgiving.
I usually bring my own lunch and my friends will always look at my food and be all curious and ask me what it is like they've never eaten rice or beans or vegetables or whatever.
Do you work for PETA?
Vegetables have feelings TOO!
They assume everything I eat is organic,most don't even know what that is.I was drinking a capri-sun and they asked me if it was organic.There is no such thing as organic capri-suns.
When they find out they get all suprised,they'll say "you're a vegan?"
What do you eat for dinner,celery sticks? That actually came from a girl.
so, do you eat meat?
Duh.
When I went veggie I told my mum before I went to her house next for a meal.
She gave me gammon - baked ham. She thought because it was cold meat it wasn't really meat.
Took me a long time to get her to take my word for it.
So chicken is ok for you then?
I couldn't quite understand their logic until they told me chicken was a bird not and animal and then of course it all still didnt make sense.
Yep, I have to agree with purple hibiscus. How many times have I asked what vegetarian options are available, only to be offered chicken or fish? (I blame it on those bloomin' so-called "semi-vegetarians"!!) Not so much weird as very, very annoying. Grrr!
"but beef flavouring isnt meat, its just a flavouring... beef flavouring isnt beef so you can eat these crisps"
"gummie bears arent real bears you know you can eat them" (not understanding that gummie bears contain beef)
"yeah but fish isnt meat, its fish"
"what would you do if you tried to make scrambled egg or an ommlette and a chicken fell out of the egg by accident, would you still eat it???"
the last one i didnt no whether to laugh or slap him!!!
"..for how long do you want to be a veg...?"
Not weird but dumb is the protein question for sure!
Vegetarian? Is that contagious?
I hope it is, I replied and quickly left the establishment.
do you eat pork skins? I mean its not meat...
*rolls eyes*
i was asked... are all vegetarians arrogant?
i said... no just the wannabe ones.
(wonders how long it's going to take for the clue to drop like a bomb on this one?)
What would you do if lions were ruling the world?
Any question asked by foxhunter_guy.
My nan asked my if I wanted a saveloy. I reminded her that I was veggie and her reply was "yes, I know, but these haven't got much meat in them." Bless.
I don't get why people have to justify themselves and apologise for eating meat when you tell them your veggie.
"So, do vegetarians eat ANY meat?"
*rolls eyes in disgust* DUH!
"Is fish, really meat? I mean, some vegetrians eat fish."
my reply to the last one was, "Fish is flesh, and flesh is meat."
some people are clueless.
So how do you cook a vegetarian then? Oh, so hilarious and I have just never heard that one before....
"You're a vegetarian? Does that mean you aren't going to eat your steak?"
Edit:
Last night at a meeting regarding starting a vegan food company I got served Tilapia! The potential investors had *NO* f'ing idea what a vegetarian eats!
Edit:
Aiming at Andie, Princess and Michael triggered a memory of an *evil* little prank I used to pull when much younger. There is a plastic chefs tool called a strawberry injector that is used for adding flavor to the hollow core of berries. (Pay attention Michael
OK loooong but true story.....
Without word of a lie this dude who is not on my team at work (the able bodied 'hot desk' in the civil service) was sat on our bank of desks Today. He asked me this " Andie if there was a holocaust, and all of the plants on Earth were contaminated would you eat meat?" After laughing my head off then pointing out that the animals would have eaten the contaminated plants. I then told him I would eat my own snots and ear wax and die happy when they ran out, a smug veggie to the last!!!
He asked me about seafood would you make an exception, I then said "well they aren't veggies, are they????"
He than ask me if I would eat bits of animals to survive, I pointed out that gradual mutilation of animals was just as bad as or worse than murdering them for food!!
I then asked (lets call him Paul) if he would eat meat if he had to kill it himself, to whit he replied " yeah, and I'd want to eat lots of it 'cause it's fresher isn't it?' I told him I wouldn't know.
He than slated my Religion and dissed Gay people. At this point,as I was staring at his pate I thought "OMG, I work with Fox hunter Guy aaaaaaargh! I know who he is!!!!! LOL!!!!"
EDIT
Just read Michael' H 's answer LOL!!! His last statement is actually true for me, my hubby asked me it when...well anyway....
Princess , your answer had me in giggles too!! That whole 'spit or swallow thing' sound s like an FHG question, "Do Vegans swallow, Do they think 'man milk' is vegetarian? Would they make an acception if I picked up a pale, fat, vegan hooker. If I gave her a large tip would she swallow?If I made her fried eggs in the morning and tidied up my trailer before hand!!??"
Just Read Greenghost's bit ha ha ha, where can we buy one of those gadgets from, hubby is VERY keen on trying that little trick out!!!
the fish one crops up along with so Chicken stock isn't ok for you? It dosen't have any meat in....
same for me! Another was like like omg how do you flavor you food? I've never met a vegetarian before. You don't like to have a good steak once in awhile? How do you get your vitamins? Do you eat only vegetables? and so on!!!!! can you believe that ? Yep! I've been asked all of those.
So what do you eat, pasta? Yeah because pasta is a vegetable!
Exactly how vegetarian are you? I mean if I cook a ham will you eat it just this one time?? HAHAHAHA
When I was a kid, I used to get a lot of stuff along the lines of "So you've never had pizza?" Or lasagna, or... If something often had meat in it, people had never thought about just eating it without the meat. Very odd. That doesn't happen nowadays, though.
I don't know if it counts as a question, but -- I've never had meat; I was raised vegetarian, and if that comes up, it's often met with denial. "No, but really, you must have..." No. "Okay, but you've tried it, right?" No. "So when have you ever had meat?" (Sigh.)
And:
"Don't you want to try it?"
That strikes me as a bit odd. If I did, wouldn't I have already done so?
The lifelong-veg thing just confuses a lot of people. I can go through the "but you've tried it, right?" -- no -- conversation with somebody, and then they'll ask fifteen minutes later why I don't like the _taste_ of meat.
And, given that most restaurants have vegetarian stuff, "How do you eat in restaurants?" strikes me as a weird one. Worst case, there's a plate of fries or something, and on a cross-country road trip once, I ended up eating a disgusting amount of grilled cheese and egg salad sandwiches with very little else. But -- there's always something.
Indirectly, though, most of the stuff posted on Yahoo! Answers in the V&V section is unquestionably the weirdest I've ever heard. I had _no_ idea that so many people had so many weird ideas about it, or -- well, or so much time on their hands. "If I was going to shoot a chicken if you didn't eat an egg, would you eat the egg?" Oh, sheesh -- just choke the thing and get it over with...!
congratulations Daria, one of the few original questions we get here....and so far, not an insulter in sight !
"Vegetarian option, yes sure, we have fish, ok ?"
"I'm a vegetarian during the week, do you eat meat at the weekend ?"
me:"there is ham in my veggie pasta"
waiter "there is only a small amount, is there a problem sir ?"
"How can you eat eggs ? They are baby chickens you know."
"Is it OK if i put my bacon in this pan with your stuff ?"
"if you loved me you'd eat this for me" ( gammon i think )
"why aren't you sickly and pale ?"
"are all vegetarians this good in bed ?"
ok...so i made the last one up
They made a joke saying " so if you're vegetarian, do you eat animal crackers". I laughed but was also annoyed.
"But don't you feel bad for the vegetables? They have feelings too"
While waving a bit of meat in front of my face- "Ooooh aren't you jealous? Don't you want some of this?" (um, no, if I did I could eat it, you know, it's a choice not a disease I've been inflicted with!)
"Don't you miss bacon?" (NO! Why are the British so obsessed with bacon?!)
Those are all fairly bog standard but the weirdest and most random question someone once asked me was whether I still, um... swallowed.
this is the weirdest question i get...
oh you are vegetarian ? i see... but you dont eat fish ? why cant you eat fish ? thats not meat is it ?
UUUUHH.... YES IT IS !!
its unbelievable... do some people really think fish just grew on a tree ? or is a vegetable ? DUH !
