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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

Entertaining

Posted on 28 December, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

In terms of being the perfect hostess you can put me right at the bottom of the list. Not the bottom of ten or a hundred, but at least a thousand, or ten thousand. I hate the staged spectacle of … Continue reading →

Men who can cook

Posted on 19 December, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

And those who can – and don’t. Or to put it another way: Men who can cook, do. Men who can cook, don’t. As for men who can’t cook, they don’t either. Fortunately. With apologies to George Bernard Shaw (Man … Continue reading →

Irrelevant rants

Posted on 12 December, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Gah!! What is it with people who are not vegetarian and think they know everything about it because they only eat chicken or fish a few days a week? I’ve been doing this for 25 years or something like that. … Continue reading →

Cheese

Posted on 27 November, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Or, more specifically, Farmhouse Cheshire Cheese. As well as slicing up lots of dead pigs every week, the other major food item my parents sold on their market stall was cheese. Now for some reason, the tradition in my part … Continue reading →

Bacon

Posted on 24 November, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

I can never understand what it is about bacon. It is the one thing that vegetarians are always asked – ‘Don’t you miss bacon?’ And as for Americans, they seem to be obsessed with the stuff. People on forums declare … Continue reading →

I need protein – just can’t get enough.

Posted on 17 August, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

No, no – not more protein – yet again? I thought high protein low carb diets went out – well, 30 years ago. That’s the last time I heard of anyone following one. A friend at university aged, 19/20, decided … Continue reading →

Catering for all tastes

Posted on 26 June, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Having a party? Entertaining at work? Does vegetarian food even cross your mind? It should do because nine times out of ten, the vegetarian food always seems to disappear the fastest. I say this as someone who has gone to … Continue reading →

Quorn

Posted on 22 June, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Fake meat? Processed food? Junk food? High protein meat-free ready meal? Fresh from the laboratory? All of those, and more. Or as the website says, a wonder food. Well, not quite, in my opinion. What is Quorn? It’s made from … Continue reading →

Let them eat cupcakes*

Posted on 30 May, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Am I really the only person in the world who does not have a sweet tooth? If I read one more boring blog post about delicious ‘cupcakes’ I will throw myself out of the window. OK, I won’t read the … Continue reading →

Consumerism (7) – it doesn’t matter to me

Posted on 10 April, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

The much-heralded post and the final one in the series. Perhaps the most important one too. Oh. Why? Because it is the one where you can make a difference. I was going to insert a terribly clever digression here to … Continue reading →

Happy World Sleep Day

Posted on 19 March, 2012 by roughseasinthemed

Honestly I despair. I have read on a couple of blogs that it is World Cancer Day so I looked it up. Apparently 4 February is World Cancer Day as designated by the World Health Organisation (WHO). So what’s with … Continue reading →
