What an interesting read, I'm a fellow a Brit, and for my sins I'm a vegan, but I must say, I'm not one of these radical vegans that cant stand people talking about the consumption of meat, it's a bit like that joke "how do you know someone is a vegan?... they don't stop going on about it!" Thats not me, anyway, thats enough about me, found your culinary tale interesting and subbed straight away :)
Now I have read the instructions this makes sense. I was brought up vegetarian by parents who were also life-long vegetarians so never felt I was "missing out" and since I never tried the things that converts seem to miss most, like bacon, it was probably easier. Things are so much better for vegetarians now, at least in the UK. People are much more accepting, and when you eat out, there is often a range of choices. My first work Christmas lunch out in the East End 45 years ago, the vegetarian option was literally a lump of cheese!
A joy to read! Vegan to omnivore here. I enjoyed the journey and learned a lot of new food combinations along the way. I’m glad to eat steak again though. And cheese, omg.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! One of the best things about being a vegan is that you can explore things you might never have been able to explore, although similarly, it’s nice to have the freedom of being able to eat what you like. Thanks for the support!
Thanks a lot! I think that's a very good attitude when it comes to food. People should focus on eating things they enjoy, rather than saying what things they don't!
I once toyed with the idea of being vegetarian - but then I remembered the joy of bacon! A fascinating perspective.
Many people like the idea of being vegetarian, I think, but it can be hard to give up bacon! Thanks for the encouragement, Barry.

Thank you so much! I very much agree that whatever dietary preferences you have you should always respect what others choose to eat and do.

Great story! I love that you don't take a cultish view of your diet. Very rare these days.

An interesting read, I look forward to more! Personally, I'm an omnivore - there is almost nothing on the planet I don't enjoy.

Brilliantly written. Will look forward to future articles. Keep up the good work.
