PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.

There's also the option that if he's that clueless about some foods that are animal products (the egg whites, the bleu cheese), then he may also be one of those "vegans" who's like, "Oh, but they must have a ton of vegan options, right? Everyone does!" or "I liked eating there two years ago (before I became vegan), so I'll just go there again!" (forgetting that the reason they liked it two years ago was because they were still eating meat at the time.
I have a college friend who says she's vegan even though she isn't (by choice) just to make things easy, because she has enough allergies and other food sensitivities that she basically needs a vegan diet anyway so as to not die. Things like sensitivities to meat products and eggs, straight-up milk allergy, etc. It was a running gag at school to keep a list of "Foods that won't try to kill [Friend].""Enough expository banter. It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men. For Gilgamesh...IT'S MORPHING TIME!"

*shrug* I'm not allergic to 'em, but I can't eat 'em. (IBS, how I hate thee...)Quoth Food Lady View PostI have a friend who is allergic to peas. Peas.
The ones that cause me the most problems trying to avoid them are celery (it's in almost all the stock out there), onions, and garlic.

Oh, dear <diety>, Ice Milk. That stuff is a travesty, an offense against the very existence of proper frozen quiescent concoctions.

Well, obviously someone didn't grow up in a Southern, white trash family who shopped at the Winn-Dixie. Whenever they had a sale on store brand ice milk, it was a banner day in our trailer.Quoth EricKei View PostDrive it like it's a county car.Comment

I'm not surprised. Peas are legumes, and as such are related to peanuts. Peanuts are one of the more common food allergies.Quoth Food Lady View PostI have a friend who is allergic to peas. Peas.Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.Comment

ASW - Actually, I did.
Most o' dat, anyhoo, dawwwwlin'... Well, as far as store brands go, we preferred K&B's ice cream. It cost the same as that ice milk garbage anyway....and who can say "No" to a talking ice cream freezer? ^_^

A former colleague of mine, when I taught at a community college was allergic to beer, wine, and liquor. Basically, she was allergic to alcohol.

I feel for you on that one. I am sensitive to garlic, and can only eat it in small amounts without experiencing lots of discomfort. Which can sometimes cause me to question if living without garlic is actually living at all...Quoth Valentinian View PostThe ones that cause me the most problems trying to avoid them are ... garlic.“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John RogersComment

Yeah, but it's different when it's a personal choice for <reasons> rather than an allergy. I don't drink a lot; maybe one drink a week (unless I'm in Key West, then all bets are off), but if I suddenly *couldn't* drink because of an allergy, I'd be very, very grumpy. I've already had to learn how to live without tomatoes. I don't want to eliminate any other foods!Quoth Seanette View PostAt the conclusion of an Irish wedding, the priest said "Everybody please hug the person who has made your life worth living.

There's an "Ale and Smokehouse" place in Vancouver that we went to this year. All the sandwiches are around $15. Except the "Veggie Sandwich". It's listed for $30.
Then under the description it says "Just kidding! It's $13, but who orders a veggie sandwich at a smoke house?"Comment
