It’s the 3X Thursday: Veggie-Veggie-Fruit-Fruit Edition<\/a>. Because I need another Thursday Q&A …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1.Have you ever thought about being vegetarian? If you have not then why? If you are vegetarian then why?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve given it some thought, sure. I have friends who are at various stages of vegitude, and I admire their resolve. But …<\/p>\n

a. I don’t have the strong moral objections to eating animals\/animal products that some of them have.<\/p>\n

b. I’m not at all convinced of the supposed health benefits.<\/p>\n

c. I like meat. And eggs. And dairy. And, if I didn’t mention it, meat, too.<\/p>\n

2.So do you like to eat your veggies? What fruit and vegetables do you like to eat?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, that’s the other side to the answer above. I don’t mind veggies, but they’re not the first thing I grab. Corn, peas, green beans, spinach, it’s all good. Broccoli, and even cauliflower and asparagus, if they have sufficient goop drizzled on them. <\/p>\n

On the fruit side — well, not so much. I think it’s being a control freak, but the variations in raw fruit tend to turn me off from it; fruit products (juices, using them in pies, etc.) I like much more. Particular favorites, especially in those latter genres, are apple, pear, peach, and most citrus.<\/p>\n

But don’t offer me bananas. Or raw tomatoes. Please. It could get ugly.<\/p>\n

3.What vegetarian food do you like? It can be made with dairy just not meat. Pick one non-meat food or drink that you think is groovy.<\/b><\/p>\n

I can’t think of one, off-hand. I mean, there are plenty of non-meat entrees I’ve eaten (usually relying on cheese), if that counts, but I don’t think of them as explicitly vegetarian <\/i>foods.<\/p>\n

Bonus Question for the Comments: What is the tastiest beverage ever?<\/b> Ports and dessert wines. Wines in general. Wheat beers. Cocoa drinks. Milk shakes and malts. Lemonade and citrus juices. Cider and apple juice. Can I stop now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
