I have no problems with most veggies at all, because most veggies are ex meat eaters and respectful of my choice to eat meat . However, some vegans can go fuck themselves if they start lecturing me about eating eggs and wearing leather, etc. I don't tell them not to eat lentils or not wear hemp-twine sandals.
I'm not eating as much meat nowadays due to personal choice and i may eventually go vegetarian, but the main reason i eat meat is that i have eaten it all my life and still enjoy most of it.
But if I do turn veggie I won't resort to eating those nasty looking streaky bacon vegan rashers and other meat wannabe veggie products, does anyone eat and enjoy fake vegan bacon? : /
I bake a really tasty cheese and onion pie so there's a start. And I like plenty of vegetarian food such as falafel, hummus, stuffed vine leaves, onion bhajis, vegetable soup etc.
I definitely think that the world's veggie cuisines are becoming known about and more available nowadays in restaurants and shops, and veggie food is a lot more appealing now than it ever was, certainly since i first tried it in the early 80s.
My favourite kind of veggie(and meat/fish) cuisine is Greek/Turkish - Lebanese and middle Eastern. Oh i almost forgot traditional Moroccan food too which i really liked when in Morocco.
I think those foods tastes so fresh without added nasties such as MSG and preservatives and artificial flavorings.
I also like indian/Pakistani food as long as it's not too spicy because some of the flavours are sensational.
I think i need a good vegetarian cook book to educate and inspire me to cook and try new kinds of veggie dishes.
