OK, it’s about time that your faithful grandfather pulled out an old fashioned rant.
One of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen in my life is this bizarre concept of “vegetarian friendly meat substitute products” that you may have come across in your local supermarket, or at a BBQ with your local vegetarian friend.
Yes, I’m referring to bacon that’s not really bacon. Sausages that contain absolutely no flesh whatsoever. In summary, tofu-like substances that are sculpted into the shape of meat products for reasons which, to me, will never be understood.
FOR FUCK SAKE!!!! THIS IS FUCKING ABSURD!!!
Now I’m a staunch carnivore. Always have been, always will be. I fucking love meat, and I believe that it is natural for us to eat it, and our place in the food chain seems to back this up. I mean, could you imagine a shark deciding that due to cruelty concerns, it was only going to eat marine plant life from now on? It would become skinny and emaciated and unhealthy. Now I concede that we have a greater level of autonomous thought than our friend the shark...but if we did not, I believe that we would all eat meat without a hint of reservation, because our inherited instincts tell us that it is beneficial for us, as human carnivores, to do so.
But I digress.
Now I have friends who are/have been vegetarians. More power to them. To each their own, I support them in their choices 100%. But surely, if you have made the decision not to consume animals, why…ON EARTH!!?....would you want to eat something that has been artificially manufactured to LOOK LIKE MEAT???
IT JUST DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!!
Wouldn’t you have enough pride in your decision to be happy being seen eating a salad, or a dish including undisguised tofu? What the hell would possess you to want to fit in with a meat eating crowd, when in principal, you disagree with eating meat???
This shits me. If you are going to do something, do it properly, and stick to your guns.
If anyone can enlighten me as to why a vegetarian would want to be perceived to be eating meat, please comment. Otherwise, this will continue to baffle, and ANNOY the hell out of me.
Pleased to be back on the rant wagon,

just another notch on the bedhead of annoyances for the vegetarians.
honestly, vegetarians can be some of the most annoying people around.
they dont like anything, especially flavour.
I never knew that this annoyed me. But fuck me, it does! Next time I see my sister's vegan boyfriend, I'm going to punch him in the face.
you'd be right to do it...
