I stopped eating in KFC when I decided to stop eating battery chickens/meat in about 2003,

and as for Halal? no thanks, I don't want to eat an animal that's had superstious nonsense whispered in its ear before death.

Good for you, it always pleases me when I see other people looking out for the well being of their food. :)

Its a shame such a small minority of people give a crap, even if they don't care about the animals, they should do it for the quality of meat theyre eating, that pig thats had a nice time outside being able to grow at a natural rate is going to be a lot nicer than one pumped full of crap and stuck in doors 24/7.

It makes eating out hard though, tend to just go to pizza express and have a meat free pizza.

A tad, but nothing major really. He gets a lot of stick (the friendly joke sort) for his theatre/drama stuff though, but so do most guys who do that.

On a sidenote, being a straight guy on a musical theatre course is actually a goldmine for meeting girls. Over half the guys (statistically, not stereotypically) are often gay, and the ratio of guys to girls means that the straight guys are in high demand. Couple that with the sort of girls you often find on these courses, and they're sitting on a goldmine! :(
 
I'm like that, I'm a veggie and my fiance is the fussiest eater I've ever known. We like Frankie and Benny's (pizza for him) and pasta for me. I normally get the normal pastas and just ask for it with no meat in. Pizza express is a win too. And TGI Fridays, he gets steak and I normally get the veggie burger or the spicy pasta.

We once went to a pub though which must have had 150+ items on the menu and not one single one was vegetarian. I don't know why it bothers me, because I come over all irrational and when they're like "are you ready to order?" I'm always like "I'm not having anything, there's nothing at all for vegetarians". Of course, they start suggesting fish dishes and I've got to stop myself looking down my nose at them. I'm not snobby at all but in this day and age with the amount of veggies kicking about you would think pubs and restaurants would at least have ONE dish on the menu.

How does that have any effect on the food?

None but I don't agree with methods/ideologies associated with any sort of religion being the default just to appease a group of people.

If I wanted Halal meat, I would go to a Halal butcher or a restaurant that uses Halal suppliers.

When I was a vegetarian, I went to a pub and they offered a bacon and brie with cranberry baguette. I asked for it without bacon - they brought it out with bacon.

I said to them that I was a vegetarian and I didn't eat meat, so they took it back and got me a new one. They brought about the same one with the bacon removed. -_-

Oh no, you might have eaten cheese that touched bacon. You might die!!!!
 
Haha wow! That's shocking.

I think some places you go they huff and puff about it when you ask them to change the food to take the meat out. I don't do it to be awkward, but you would think I do sometimes by the way people look at you.

The best one I had was in America (we all know the americans LOVE their meat). I ordered a salad in Applebee's which was like lettuce, fried breaded mozzarella, olives, onions etc, with chicken. I asked for it without the chicken and the servers are always like "WITHOUT chicken???" as if they can't quite believe it. The girl who brought it over was different to who took the order and she was like staring at the food, and then she said "there appears to be a problem with this order, they've forgot to put the chicken on", and I said "no that's how I ordered it" and she was like "errrrrrr.....okay".
I felt like I'd walked in to a saloon bar where everyone turns around and stares at you.

People have different reasons for not eating meat though. While for me, it's ethical as well as the fact that I don't particularly like meat, some people don't eat it for religious reasons as well as health reasons.
 
I once got to the last bite of a take-out pizza and discovered that what I thought was just a bit of burned cheese on the crust was, in fact, a baked on bluebottle :mad: Got a free pizza out of it, but couldn't actually stomach going there again.

I'm sure we've all eaten gross things without knowing, mind you...
