The Vegetarian Torture

[Howard Beale]

I read only enough of the thread to see many replies that said, in effect, 'It's just vegetables! Eat it. How bad could it be?'

Well, there're vegetarian meals and there are vegetarian meals. If somebody served me the sort of vegetarian stuff cooked in Indian restaurants I'd love it. If they served me corn on the cob and string beans that's ok too.

However, there is also the sort of vegetarian meal that my young, visiting nephew and his new age gf decided to prepare. The only thing I recognized was the soy based green pea soup (I saw the box it came in). The rest of it was roots of some kind that they got somewhere covered in pesto sauce. I did what some here said. I sucked it up and ate it with as much of a smile as I could but if they ever visit again and offer to cook I'm going to make my excuses.
