This is funny, because I,m not vegetarian

[papie]

If I was, I would be pissed, lol.

Our daycare (NFP) made a recipe book and is selling them to parents for funding. So these are basically recipes that the kids eat and love.

In the vegetarian section, there is a recipe that calls for chicken broth and beef broth. How can they think that is vegetarian? lollollol

Soooo, the little vegetarian kids, who are too young to know, have been fed beef and chicken broth at daycare. :-| I know there is at least one vegetarian kid in Anna,s class.

[Deleted]

I wonder how pissed that kid's parents are going to be. lol

[Deleted]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

And what kind of idiot for real??

[cbwm1]

I'm laughing.

But yeah - if we were vegetarians and I found that out, I'd be supah pist.

[Muddled]

Curtis (the Aussie chef) called a dish vegetarian on The Today Show after he dumped a crap-load of fish sauce on it.

People seem to find this to be very complicated, but it's just not.

[alzi]

I'd be furious. People just don't pay attention to details.

The recipe book part is pretty funny. But having fed a vegetarian child meat products is not cool. I hope the kid isn’t veg for religious reasons.

ETA: This is a common mistake, though. I remember a few years ago a fellow veg friend of mine stayed with mutual friends for a while. The mom went through all this trouble to make us a soup with all these veggies & spent hours on it. She had never cooked for a veg before. AFTER we were done, we asked her what she put in it so we could recreate it. Yeah, it had chicken stock. Poor thing didn’t even think of it & was so mortified. I thought it was kind of funny. We already ate it, so what could we do then!

[mamasaurus]

I would be pissed! It's not like vegetable stock is some exotic item that's hard to come by or costs an arm and a leg.

[scotty]

That's pretty funny.

[underwaterrhymes]

Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I've had servers insist something is vegetarian and when I ask them to check with the chef they come back and sheepishly tell me that I was right - there is chicken stock in that item.

I would use it as a moment of education and make sure they know that those items are definitely NOT vegetarian.

[Deleted]

I think some people think that chicken stock just um... tastes like chicken? Like, they don't understand how it's made.

You can buy vegetarian bouillon to make those broths with.

Funny though.

The point is that vegetarian children have been served items that are not vegetarian. These are recipes the daycare uses.

Ohh, they use them at the daycare. Missed it. That won't work.

[papie]

I'm actually on the board of directors, so I'm also dying a little bit of embarrassment! But it is not like we approve the recipes, lol. I will bring it up at the next meeting and find out what info the parents are given about the vegetarian foods. So that we can at least make sure to cover our ass. :-|

I know! Does it shit? Does it have a face? Is it made from the body of something that shits or has a face? If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions, it is not vegetarian. Three simple questions, people! 8-D

Wait! But that is for vegan, no? Because I thought milk and eggs were ok for vegetarians, and they both come from the body of things that shit and have a face?

[scotty]

But the milk and eggs don't shit and have a face, themselves. Unless you get one of those eggs that has a little chicken in it.

I'm just sayin'.

this is one of my biggest fears. And why I use carton of egg whites.

Is it just me, or do organic eggs have chickens in them? Ok, not chickens, but at least one egg out of every carton has a tiny little red spot inside. Sometimes not so tiny. It never happened when I bought non organic.

[underwaterrhymes]

You shouldn't be getting eggs from the store with baby chickens in them because those eggs haven't been fertilized.

[scotty]

H told me that they're unfertilized, but I did wonder what that was. Looked a lot like an embryo. We get a local farm egg through WF. They're pretty good.

Glad I,m not alone on this! I just junk it and use the eggs anyway.

OMG GAG. In a perfect world I would be vegan.

[scotty]

I eat it. I try to grab it and it slides away over and over, so I give up.

Yeah, I eat chicken embryos.

Um, this. You will never find a baby chicken in your grocery store egg.

Then what is the dark thing with the umbilical cord in my grocery store (locally farmed) eggs. I'm going to Google.

The red spots are just ruptured blood vessels. They aren't chicken embryos, don't worry!

(*) :Y: ;D This is good.

[papie]

So it is chicken blood?

Right. They come from, but are not made from, the body of a face-having, shit-making creature.

Also, eggs with red spots are not kosher. If you are making a kosher omelet, you can't just scoop the red out, either. You need to start all over with it. If you are cooking a kosher meal, it's really so much easier to cook vegan.
