There is nothing worse than when a vegetarian, or worse still a vegan with holier-than-thou morals turns up to your BBQ.  What on earth do you do to feed them?  Do you source out some cardboard burgers or point them in the general direction of the salad bowl?  What do you cook for the vegetarians who turn up to your BBQ?

I know they think they’re being good and pure, not harming animals and being ultra civilized, but it’s just downright inconvenient for the rest of us who have to cater for them and put up with their snide comments; wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t for the attitude.  Us meat eaters normally tend to hang out with fellow carnivores, but somehow or other when it comes to a social gathering you’ll occasionally get a veggie with chip on their shoulder.  A chip that must not have been cooked in animal fat I hasten to add!

They’ll try to convert the meat eating hordes to their way of thinking.  Eating meat is bad.  It’s not healthy and think about the cruelty and suffering to the animal.  What’s the matter with them?  Have they looked at their teeth lately? Those pointy ones might be a bit of a clue, because I don’t think the thousands of years of evolution were for nothing!  To hell with them I say, when in Rome do as the Romans do.  If you don’t like sausages I'm not going to force you to eat them, you can feast on the cheese roles and salad for all I care.  You don’t have to eat meat, but if I want to partake of dead flesh then I will and what’s more I will enjoy it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not setting out to deliberately offend vegetarians.  After all, one man’s meat is another man’s poison or so they say.  It’s the ones that don’t respect my opinion and criticise the fact that I eat meat that I have a problem with.

It is fine to eat meat. Just as it is fine for people to eat Veg.

It's up to the individual about the choice of diet or the lifestyle they lead, not everyone elses.

Get a life, you sad people. You have no respect for other people.

I doubt if your 'pointy teeth' would get you far if you sink them into the back of a live wild boar and try and rip off some flesh. How many natural carnivores need to have their meat pre-ki11ed, butchered, marinated and barbecued to make it fit for consumption. Do a bit more research. We have grinding herbivore teeth. Even horses have a couple of pointy teeth and I don't think anyone would suggest that they are meat-eaters.

Nobody knows, as a meat eater, the least I can say is I know that I am doing wrong, there's no real need for me to do it, but just about everyone I know does it, and thinks nothing of it,

My view is that vegetarians are in the right by not eating meat.

My opinion is,if we humans were meant to fill ourselves with dead animals,surelywe would have four legs and LARGEclaws and teeth.like lions ect.Though I do accept at one time there was no choice,but there is now.

Of course an allergy would be catered for if needed, you turnip.

As he has stated, you invite people to a BBQ.... the clue is in the name. To then have people that for all you know are not his friends, merely friend of a friend, turn up and critisise.

To be fair, they don't sound like firends either!.

So you wouldn't cater for someone with a food allergy? Much the same thing really except a vegetarian or vegan chooses not to eat meat/animal products. You aren't being a friend if you don't respect their believes, so stop being selfish!

if you dont want to cook for vegetarians then dont invite them! simple as. and when you said "Have they looked at their teeth lately? Those pointy ones might be a bit of a clue, because I don’t think the thousands of years of evolution were for nothing!" our teeth are actually more suited for eating like a herbivore not a carnivore(or omnivore).

I once knew someone who made a big deal of being vegetarian (I've no problem with it) but ate fish. I pointed out on a few occasions that you are not supposed to eat any animal, whether it swims or walks. His reply was that the fish had 'had more of a life'. He never did get round to explaining his penchant for leather trousers...

Merlin you sound like a boring old git. I cook the BBQ, summer spring, autumn and if it aint too bad in the winter too, and I do half the cooking the rest of the year too. I spend a lot of hours in the kitchen. Let the wife wash up? Women these days haven't got a clue about cleaning and most of the ones I've met are shy when it comes to washing up - something to do with the current generation no doubt, had it all on a plate I think.. So go smoke yourself you big girls blouse.

im not a vegaterian,but I dont like barbeques..the majority of which are `cooked` by males who normaly dont go near a kitchen at other times of the year and yet suddenly transform into chefs for the summer! if you enjoy barby food ..ok but dont pollute the atmosphere..just let the wife cook it and you wash up..then go outside abd sit in your clean aired garden after!

Your burger is pretty inconvenient for the cow, too.

Your delight in "partaking of dead flesh" reeks of machismo, and is disgusting.

Don't invite veg*ns to your house if you can't make the comfortable. Likewise, don't invite Jews if you think they're "picky" for not eating pork.

Lame.
