Silly/Annoying/Funny Things Omnis Say

[Mikkel]

I never liked bacon much, even when I was still eating meat 25 years ago.
But then, I was always a strange one...

I'm one of those too. Bacon and egg is my brekkie nightmare. I don't like the taste of any of them (so no facon and scrambled tofu for me either... )

I guess this would be under "Silly things Omnis EAT"

Likely inspired by "Bertie Bott's Ever flavoured beans" from the Harry Potter books, Jelly Belly have launched something called "Bean Boozled Challenge" where you have the chance to get some very strange tastes when going for a Jelly bean of a certain colour.

Of course, my kids had to buy that

Theoretically (when looking at the label) vegan, but I certainly do not trust those "flavours" they might be using to get the taste of "Canned Dog Food" ...

Looking at that list of ingredients, I'm not sure I'd want to try those anyway...

I had those as a kid. I wonder if they are vegan friendly.
"All Jelly Belly jelly beans are OU Kosher, gluten free, peanut free, dairy free, fat free and vegetarian friendly." Ah ok.. so maybe. I'm guessing there are no eggs either, or else there would be an allergy warning.

I actually tried the "lawn clippings", it was delicious - as expected - for me as a vegan.
(It's what we are supposed to eat, right? )
But quite sweet.

The buttered popcorn is supposed to be the 'good' flavour out of the two, but I remember it being absolutely revolting

However, that list of ingredients isn't entirely vegan - E901 is beeswax. (I learned this recently when I thought a brand of otherwise-vegan sweets had removed the beeswax, only to discover they'd changed the ingredients so it said E901 instead ).

I heard a new one yesterday.

My brother-in-law, upon finding out I don't eat honey; "why isn't honey vegan? bees aren't animals!"

That's what I do every day. I go outside and eat the lawn. The occasional ant gives me enough protein to live.

Bacon is back on the hotels. He was to chikcken to stand the fight...

I guess they stole that idea from Harry Potter and Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.

Oh dear. 12% of British young adults think farmers squeeze bees to get honey.

One fifth of young adults think fish fingers ACTUALLY ARE the fingers of fish, research finds - Mirror Online

I don't know about other countries, but in the US I think they have beeswax and confectioners glaze on them, so not vegan. I used to love Jelly Bellys.

 

[Danielle]

Yes they do

I can't believe this! Ant farming practices are cruel and barbaric!

After we had a bit shortage on milk here, there was poeople who couldn't understand why Tine didn't make more milk...

(Tine is the biggest milk company here in Norway).

 

[Danielle]

I only eat free range, humanely killed ants
...after being vegetarian for a few years, humanely killed sounds so stupid

 

[Mikkel]

There's no need of restrict the use of antibiotics. We can get hit by a car later today.

I overheard someone at work say the following: "I only eat grass-fed humanely treated animals. They have a good life -- a short life, but a good life. "

Yes, interesting, that!

Whenever the subject of diets come up, all my colleagues explain very credibly that they only eat humanely raised, organically fed meat from a butcher they really trust. And actually quite little of it, maybe once a week or so.

I usually refrain from asking them where they think the pork chop or sausage they eat in the cafeteria every day comes from, or who in the world is then buying all that factory-farmed discount meat that I see in supermarkets everywhere, if everybody I know only buys very little, very healthy, etc. meat...

Exactly this! "Oh, I don't eat much meat" (usually alongside "I was vegetarian once for a while but it made me ill").
