| - Shitty service again. FYI: Meat + fish = not vegetarian. As that one popular songstress opines: "I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way" ... I have been a life long vegetarian; born and bred. I don't know about you but for me ... not killing life (I know right, dat be cray) ... and not contributing to the suffering and death of living beings is high on my list of important key priorities for my continued existential wellbeing in this Universe/Multiverse/Illusion/The Matrix/Whatever. You might think so too unless you're some weirdo fascist psychopath; not that there's anything wrong with that ? I mean totally whatevs right. You know, Hitler? Hitler was vegetarian. Not all of us are evil genocidal megalomaniacs. Fuck! Isn't eating meat kind of weird? Doesn't it seem like a bit similar to eating people? It's like a chromosome or two away from cannibalism. Some non-vegetarians have a serious chip on their shoulder because they assume vegetarians have a chip on their shoulder. When we were first dating, my partner didn't even know that I was vegetarian for about six weeks until she tried to get me to eat some bacon ... which I prepared for her ... I also perform excellent cunnilingus so that might have helped? I aim to please! Some non-vegetarians (mostly bros ... you know who you are) be all up in my grille like ... what could you possibly survive on ... what do you eat ... how do you live/exist ... where do you get protein from ... are you a vampire ... did you do 9/11? And I'm all like: stop trippin' bro, have you heard of the natural world ... I know you know about the faunæ but there is also a huge selection of delicious and nutritious FLORÆ ... the world is our oyster? Protein? I hope you know that when you slobbered (no homo) all over your bro's cock last night ... that that didn't count as protein right? You got to swallow, bro, there's the protein. Santorum mmm mmm good. You think you're a big, manly, muscle-bound manly man because of that meat? Well come at me bro. I'm big too and I'm a herbivore ... I did that shit without animal protein ... just genes and beans, bitch ... so who is more of a man? Jokes aside ... seriously people, burnt carcass (or raw as in carpaccio or sushi) is not the only food out there. Be open minded. Try out meatless Monday. And remember that vegetarians are friendly and also people just like you. They walk among us. So nonviolence, 'ahimsa' and vegetarianism are my jam in food and in life. Now, I've been on the hunt for a really delicious and strictly vegetarian Thai green curry (as in one that doesn't have any shrimp paste, fish sauce or anything that was once alive and perhaps sentient ... besides plants of course ? ... I love eating those plants mmm so tasty; such delicious green skin) and even though that sumptuous veg fare was pretty easy to find even all the way in Thailand, it has, upon returning to Montréal about six months ago, proved a difficult and arduous task to fulfil here back at home. There seems to be a failure in communication when it comes to vegetarians and the denizens of the restaurant/service industry wherein consensus cannot be reached as to what vegetarian means. No, simply putting vegetables in a meat based dish does not a vegetarian meal make. The Oxford English Dictionary defines vegetarian as: a person who does not eat meat or fish, and sometimes other animal products, especially for moral, religious, or health reasons. It's not that hard to understand. Sounds simple right, nope. Just because I can't see the meat doesn't make it suitable for a vegetarian. Yes, indeed, there may be less than one percent shrimp paste in a ninety-nine percent vegetable based dish but that is still not goddamned vegetarian. C'mon, meat is meat; if it's inside your food in whatever minuscule amount ... it's still not suitable for vegetarians ... at least not this one. You pescatarians can suck on a Fisherman's Friend. After confirming (albeit in a confused sort of way) over the phone, that the green curry was vegetarian, I went to La Belle Thaïlandaise hoping for such a meal yet was met with consternation, attitude and passive aggressive tones and language from the server when I asked to confirm that the green curry was in fact devoid of any animal products. I was apparently a special kind of vegetarian ... a special kind of vegetarian who wouldn't even eat (unseen) shrimp in a green curry. Ahhh such aggravation for all parties involved over such a simple issue. Meat or no meat; it's a simple yes or no sort of affair. Don't spout all this rigmarole like how there may be some meat in there but it's okay and just a technicality. No, motherfucker, it's not. Instead of telling people at restos that I'm vegetarian, I should start saying that my strictly plant-based diet is because I'm deathly allergic. Maybe that'll help. The improvised dish that they cobbled together was not Thai food. It was more of a Chinese inspired veg stirfry. It wasn't very good. So. Fail.
