No meat on expenses - forced vegetarianism?

Vegetarian Sausages are not an abstract concept.

I don't agree with people putting "vegetarian" in front of a description of a meat product and making it out of vegetables. Same way I don't like the description "no fish fish fingers" and "no meat meatballs"

Great, you might not agree with the naming convention but arguing they don't exist is just downright stupid.

You OK with these?, as far as I'm aware, a ball is not a meat product.

Why not just tell people whats in them and call them. Predominately made with carrots? = carrot ball. but you can't call it a meat ball if it doe not contain meat.

They didn't call them a meat ball did they, and yes of course they can call it a meat ball if they want to as long as they put a qualifying statement/word before it.

What a ridiculous discussion this is, I'm not quite sure why I'm bothering.

You’re as thick as they come.

You don’t ‘believe’ in something that plainly exists. So what you mean is, you don’t like the way something is named... which is entirely different.

How do you feel about Easter Eggs?

Do you have a pen? It’s quite the shopping list of junk. Free of meat, full of crap.

They must contain Easter and actual Eggs, otherwise they don't exist ;-)

Ok I worded it incorrectly, no need to be offensive.

I agree that's why I said I didn't want to get into this argument. I am not going to respond again, I have my view and other people have theirs, lets just leave it at that.

Don't look at the contents of a cheap Sausage (meat variety) it might scare you

There isn't an argument though as your view is 100% provable to be incorrect.

People don't know what a carrot ball is. They might think it's like a melon ball, just a round carved out chunk of carrot.

The vegetarian equivalent of sausages, meatballs etc are called that because it gives people an instant mental picture of what they're getting in terms of structure/texture etc.

Most people know that peanuts aren't technically nuts, or that peppers are technically a fruit, but they don't get wound up about where they are in the supermarket.

I’m well versed on the subject. I don’t buy anything that’s made of multiple ingredients.

I can imagine Cotty, in Tesco, shouting at a packet of Vegetarian Sausages 'YOU DON'T EXIST!!!!!!'

I know what you're getting at, but, I find that quite hard to believe.

You can believe what you like. I’m whole food ketogenic carnivore. Beef, pork, chicken, organs, eggs, fish etc. Absolutely no processed food. Nothing. You’re going to have to do well to win that argument with me

There's no argument to be had, I can't prove it one way or another and I said I find it quite hard to believe, not that you were lying, If that's what you say you are, good on yer.

You're missing out though, a good Sausage is a wonderful thing (ooo er missus)

This is a brilliant story of hypocrisy in the EDP24 website, I am no good at linking articles ,so will give a summary.

Eco friendly vegan accredited advertising firm gets an article in the local paper .The MD then explains how his companies will not do business with companies that do not meet his high standards of veganism etc.And recently refused to work with a sausage company as it was not vegan.

Fast forward a week or so....said company is photographed receiving deliveries of bacon butties and sausage sarnies on what is called "fat frydays"
MD gets pulled up on it and says no company can be 100% vegan and he cant force his staff to eat vegan.

Company is now about to lose its vegan certificate thingy

rival advertising firms are calling it "buttygate"
