Meat
I was vegetarian in the UK. Arriving in France I realised that it was going to be difficult… One day someone offered me a quiche they had made especially for me and they pointed out that they chopped the meat up very small!! I lose count of the number of meals where I have simply eaten green beans. Vegetarians and France don’t mix.
Check out this meal we were presented with today:
Apart from digging out the salted turnips and feasting on them there was nothing else to do apart from tuck into the sausages!
Hmmm. I won’t be cooking meat any day soon in my kitchen but I’m going to have to get to grips with eating what people offer me.
(Incidently the meal was very tasty.)
Have you seen “My Big Fat Greek Wedding?” There’s a scene in that where the Greek girl has to let her mum know that her fiancé is vegetarian. The mum is rather non-plussed at first, but seems to accept it when it is spelled out for her (”no meat!”). However, she then takes him aside and says, “But you still eat lamb, don’t you?”
We will pray for you in this challenge!
