snoozequeen1 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hmm. Was asking if there were any signs of Vegetarian Week, eg in cafes or shops in SE22-ish? (Don't know if "Bacon Sarnie" is really complete response to idea of combatting world hunger, but there you go). If it gets any worse I shall have to consider posting quotes from Paul McCartney.

*Bob* Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Surely Paul McCartney himself is one very good reason not to go vegetarian?

demery Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 commondreams - 10 reason's to go veggie site - represents an ill informed, unbalanced and biased point of view. It's polemic propoganda and things are not nearly as simple as the site makes out. That said, I regulary eat veggie and might doff my veggie cap to ganapati to mark the week Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3321-any-signs-of-world-vegetarian-week-19-25th-may-in-ed/#findComment-103817 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveT Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 As there is a curry club, why not a veggie club, where forumistas use there clout and book restaurants that will cook veggie's for a night and then we shall know which is potentially the most imaginative veggie restaurant for further use.

Brendan Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 That?s a good idea SteveT. We could have a vegetarian themed curry club this month (I hope I will eventually make it again)I?m not a vegetarian myself* but I do play one on tv. *I tried once but they said I had to give up black pudding and sausages no matter how I remonstrated about neither of them actually being meat.

SteveT Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If they were booked by 20 forumistas on a mid week night like the mag last week, they might change the menu for a large contingent of veggies.
