Eating vegetarian and vegan at Pizza Hut in Gib …

Posted on 21 December, 2015 by roughseasinthemed

I found this great sheet from Gib’s Pizza Hut about food allergens info. It includes whether or not food is suitable for vegetarians, vegans, and details whether food contains gluten, soya, nuts, lupin, sesame, celery, mustard, you name it. I … Continue reading →

Legal drugs

Posted on 14 December, 2015 by roughseasinthemed

In this case, ibuprofen. Nurofen. Ibuprofen is an NSAID, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. In other words a painkiller, and one of the weaker NSAIDs, so, at low doses, it carries the risk of fewer side effects. So we have so-called specific … Continue reading →

Do come to dinner :)

Posted on 2 November, 2015 by roughseasinthemed

It’s always interesting when men write about becoming vegetarian/vegan, because it is really a soft soppy girly thing to do. Real men eat meat not quiche. At one point I was following a blog by a man who was going … Continue reading →

Right, said Fred, these vegetarians have to go

Posted on 26 September, 2015 by roughseasinthemed

Roughseas, If I may. There are a growing number of vegetarians among Jewish people, especially in Israel. In Genesis, God originally gave a vegetarian diet, but modified it to allow for changing world conditions. I was vegetarian for many years … Continue reading →

Raggy trousers part dos

Posted on 30 July, 2015 by roughseasinthemed

Such a dilemma. Animals or people. Animal rights, people rights. Dead lions, dead elephants, well just dead animals really. What to write about? Jo posted a nice one about it all and the hypocrisy surrounding okay to kill these animals … Continue reading →

Hunting (shooting and fishing)

Posted on 15 July, 2014 by roughseasinthemed

The Ark pointed me towards a rather unpleasant blog post that linked hunting, women and vegetarianism. Sneaky, he knew I would have a view. And I did. In fact he pointed all his readers towards it as he devoted a … Continue reading →

Do I really care who is King of Spain?

Posted on 4 June, 2014 by roughseasinthemed

No. But it seems we have to live with monarchies, or presidents. And presidents are pretty dire, it has to be said. Monarchies may cost the tax-payer money, but who would really want the endless round of presidential elections? I … Continue reading →

How to fall out

Posted on 1 April, 2014 by roughseasinthemed

What better to do with a million things on the ‘to do’ list than write a blog post to avoid doing what I should be doing? Writing about comments over on Kev’s stuff, I was minded to think about issues … Continue reading →

Real men eat quiche ?

Posted on 18 February, 2014 by roughseasinthemed

There is something intrinsically annoying about people’s assumptions about why people choose a vegetarian diet. Back in the UK, whenever Partner said he was vegetarian, the guaranteed question was, ‘Is that because your wife is?’ as though he didn’t have … Continue reading →

The right to free speech or the right to freely offend and insult?

Posted on 15 February, 2014 by roughseasinthemed

While I am busy bemoaning the use of sexist language that derides women, (see previous post) the rest of the world is busy working itself into a frenzy following Penguin Books India’s decision to recall Wendy Doniger’s book ‘The Hindus: … Continue reading →

You are what you eat – GMO

Posted on 7 June, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

Genetic engineering. It’s a bit like nuclear power, pesticides, feeding cows on sheeps brains. You either think it’s a great idea, don’t care either way because it doesn’t affect you, or you think it is an extremely bad idea. The … Continue reading →

Some Saturday thoughts on blogging

Posted on 24 March, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

Another gem from WordPress. If you write a long post, you need to tag it as a long post. Not with the obvious word ‘long’ of course. You now have to tag your post using WPLongform. What is a long … Continue reading →

Posted on 18 March, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

For those of you wishing for a very Cloudy Rough Seas Extremely Turbulent blog post, I thought I would sneak in a quick one. Discretion applies. A new person commenting on roughseas in fact. On my International Women’s Day post. … Continue reading →

Crufts – nice doggies and all that

Posted on 8 March, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

Primp. Preen. Parade. People and Pups (so cute to call dogs pups) run around the ring indistinguishably, hair and fur floating elegantly in the breeze. Unless they are a Mexican Hairless, or a Hairless Chihuahua, of course. Pose and gait … Continue reading →

Slagging off WordPress – again

Posted on 22 February, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

Yes. I know. You all wanted to read the ‘Wankers, seriously…’ post. Or at least those of you who spotted it in Reader and didn’t manage to get there fast enough before I took it down. I may tidy it … Continue reading →

You are what you eat (2)

Posted on 14 February, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

And now it’s donkey burgers. Seriously people. Wake up. I can’t be bothered to say any more. You want to condone vicious animal cruelty and slaughter for a few bucks and a cheaper meal, go ahead. You want to eat … Continue reading →

You are what you eat

Posted on 13 February, 2013 by roughseasinthemed

A short and pithy post. Honestly! Would you believe that from me? Horse meat in lasagna. I confess, I couldn’t resist writing about it. I see four issues here: 1) Hypocrisy. OK to eat cows, pigs, sheep, but not horses … Continue reading →

A primitive society?

Posted on 17 December, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

I haven’t written about the recent American gun shooting. Or even the Chinese knifing. Although I have read plenty of views on both. I did read one article that pointed out that every time there is yet another shooting in … Continue reading →
