    Oh well they drew the short straw by not having a face

    A lot of us won't knowingly use or eat anything that is made from dead animals.
    so if you were out in the country on a beautiful winters day, found a lovely pub with a nice log fire on the go but the seats by the fire was a leather sofa and and all other seats were leather covered including the bar stools you would stand/leave
    I have stood in those circumstances and sat sometimes. I'm not perfect but I try my best to keep to my principles. A bigger problem in pubs for me is the poor choice of vegetarian beers and wines.
    fair play mate, are any of the big brand beers vegetarian out of interest?

    Didn't the Hindus believe there was beef fat on the bullets and the Muslims believe it was pork fat? I base this on the fact im currently reading the Flashman book about the Indian mutiny :)

    You could point to almost any everyday object and somewhere in the chain of production a death of a vertebrate is involved.

    Radio 4 just had some woman on who was purporting to represent every British Hindu and she was claiming that this presented a very real problem for Hindus living in the UK. Does it really? Do you use roads and pavements? Do you know what they probably contain?

    exactly right .. ammo for the muskets consisted of a packet containing gunpowder and a bullet/ball .. the soldiers had to bite the paper packet to pour the powder into the musket etc. etc.
  • If a £5 note is your big problem you need to get a grip.

    Heineken, Stella, Carlsberg are ok. You can check it on the Barnivore website.
    Later this month, hopefully, Guinness will be vegetarian.

    I was in one those trendy hipster east London boozers a few months back. Some feller came to the bar as I was getting served and said to the barman "excuse me mate, my vegan beer tastes funny". I nearly pissed myself laughing, what did he expect?!

    I'd like to think it's because it's made out of vegans.

    you'll be pleased to know that i am doing more than my share in supporting vegan lager, i'm probably doing a few peoples share!
  • Is Jagermeister vegan?

    Honestly cannot believe this made the headlines and they had someone on the news talking about it. Maybe if there was literally no other news then it'd be OK as some light news, but is this really deserving the same coverage as the tragedy in Colombia?
