Oh no this will be difficult xD

---

🌸 First course:
I'd either choose a light salad with a nice dressing, or a consommé soup! We had then a lot in Austria at our hotel and I loved them xD
I don't have a preferred flavour, they were all nice lol

---

🌸 Second course:
Again... hard choice! Thinking about meals that I've had in varying places that I loved lol
I'd love to have the vegetarian hot dog that I use to get at a cafe in the city.. but sadly it closed! (Pic is what I use to have)
Or I'd have chicken tikka masala with chips! Again another favourite!
Or hunter's chicken with chips and cherry tomatoes on the vine. A rustic restaurant that my boyfriend and I have been to for anniversaries does that! Delicious!
Or I'd have wiener schnitzel with parsley potatoes and cranberry sauce! Again a regular dish on holiday in Austria!

🌸 Third course:
Chocolate fudge cake with ice cream :3

One I often used to use is “People Bingo”.
You can make your own version appropriate to the type of group and people in it you are working with.
Basically print off some bingo type cards or sheets featuring 12 - 16 boxes with statements in them like:
🥕 Find a vegetarian and get them to initial (or sign) here.
🎧 Find someone who likes techno music and get them to initial here.
🐇 Find someone with a pet rabbit and get them to initial here.
🤸🏽‍♀️ Find someone who regularly practices a sport. Find out which sport and get them to initial here.
(And so on)
The first person to get all their boxes initialled/signed shouts “Bingo” - or you can continue until everyone completes, if you wish.
If the group know each other well and are comfortable, you can throw in tasks like “sit on someone’s knee and get them to initial here”; if they don’t know each other you could go more for “Find someone whose name contains a Y and get them to initial here” and so on.

Podívejte, já neřeším, co kdo jí. Jsi vegetarián? Fajn. Jsi vegan? Fajn. Co víc mám k tomu říct. mě je to jedno, zda druzí jedí maso, sýr, rostlinnou stravu nebo písek s cementem, je to každého věc.
Sama veganka ani vegetariánka nejsem, sice jsem tři roky vegetariánka byla, ale moc mi to nesvědčilo, takže jsem od toho upustila.
Vůbec mi nevadí, když je někdo vegan, a pokud mi má takový člověk přijít na večeři, ráda mu uvařím veganské jídlo. Stejně tak pokud pozve on mě, tak si ho dám ráda s ním, sice jím i maso, i vejce, i mléčné výrobky, ale zároveň i tofu, soju, luštěniny, rostlinná mléka atd, chutná mi to, a mám ráda pestrost...

Co mi ale vadí je, když se ostatní naváží do druhých, otravují je a nazývají je buď pošahanými listožrouty nebo naopak vrahy zvířat, sobci nebo neosvícenými jedinci, kteří ještě nedošli k Nirváně tím, že se ještě nedali na veganství :D

A je úplně jedno, pokud se normálně se stravující strefují do vegetariánů a veganů nebo vegani do normálně se stravujících. Oboje je špatně a ani jedna strana na to nemá právo. Co je zdravější se říct nedá. Jasně, že správně postavená veganská strava bude vždycky zdravější, než klasický český jídelníček. Ale stejně tak je daleko zdravější jíst všechno, ale stravovat se zdavě a správně, než být takový ten vegan na vegan chipsech, sušenkách nebo těch olejových sýrech a všelijakých geniálních předražených náhražek vyrobených Bůh ví z čeho...pak je nespasí ani to, že je to 100% rostlinné.

---

Nikdo by neměl nikomu násilím cpát svůj názor a nutit svůj životní styl nebo ho linčovat za to, že má někdo jiný. Ani jedna strana. To jedné mi vadí, protože přesně to lidé dělají.

Kdyby se radši nechali na pokoji a každý si jedl to, co sám chce...Aspoň zbude pro všechny :D

Nah nezkousel.
Jako zkousel jsem nahrazky masa.. ale na moje bunky.. jsme jeste moc daleko od toho, abych mohl aspon hrat, ze to chutna jako maso.

---

Ja jsem bohuzel prilis sobeckej na zradlo a prilis zamilovanej do masa a zeleniny.. abych si to odpiral od huby a jeste na to byl pysnej.

---

Jako nic proti..kdo to zkousi, experimentuje nebo kdo se takhle normalne stravuje..jsou to vase tela.
A ja uprimne nerozumim moc tomu.. proc je spatny pit mliko a proc je spatny nepit mliko, takze tu tyhle diskuze ani nechcu rozjizdet prosim.

---

Ale nedelejte to pro “zachranu planety”.. protoze vy si misto masa date pomeranc vole, ale mezitim v Cine spali 250 tun uhli jo. A ano, souvisi to.

---

A jsem uplne ticho.. nedodavam zadny teorie, ktery vytoci kazdyho druhyho “jinak se stravujiciho” cloveka.
Jo. Jsem milouckej a mam vas rad.

---

Ale za sebe osobne musim rict, ze kdokoliv, kdo je treba vegetarian.. ma plny pravo si za tou myslenkou stat a bojovat za ni i kdybychom ho my.. masozravci.. chteli umlatit klobasama.

---

Jo my to asi nevidime, ale ty bourlivy diskuze kolem toho.. jsou nesmirne dulezity. Kdyby to nikoho nesralo, tak je to nedulezity tema.

I'm paying with my own money, and living under my own roof, so if I want to have fried fish (without tartar sauce) and chips WITHOUT any vegetables on the side, I will.
I was extremely sick as a kid and I had to be fed certain foods and certain amounts, even when I wasn’t hungry. It made me constantly feel more sick. Now it’s is really hard for me to eat and I have an eating disorder.
My sense of smell wins me over most times. If something doesn’t smell good enough, or straight up stinks, I will not try/eat it. Also, if the plate I am offered/served has an ingredient I know I don’t like, I won’t eat it neither.
I starved myself too. Food has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. I have no idea why. I'm still skinny and I still don't eat much on a daily basis. But force-feeding me has only made it worse. If my parents had tried another way maybe I would have been able to eat normally now that I'm adult.
I was too, but it was only because I had a habit of starving myself out of pickiness. I do wonder if that hasn't contributed to my eating problems as an adult.
At restaurants and stuff, it's not too bad. They usually have something I can find that's alright, or I just order it without/with a bunch of stuff (I always feel bad for the waiter/ress though because I'm so high maintenance). Same thing goes with the cafeteria food at uni. It was a little harder in high school, so if the entree was something I didn't like, I'd either not eat or just eat the sides. It's kind of hard at other people's houses. I'll usually just not take a lot of it and stomach what I have to to be polite.
I've been a picky eater for as long as I remember, but I'm not a dick about it. I'm not a vegetarian, and I don't have any dietary requirements... I'm just weird when it comes to food. I usually have a packed lunch instead of cafeteria food and when I stay at my friend's we usually get a takeaway or I just eat what they give me.I was a very picky eater in my younger years! Interestingly, I read that picky eaters consume a diet of mostly orange/yellow coloured foods. This proved accurate in my case so I began trying to create colourful meals.
So far every person I know that is picky about food was forced to eat things they didn't want as a child. Since my parents never forced anything on me I grew up liking most everything. When I was little I loved broccoli and brussels sprouts and just couldn't fathom that none of the other kids would touch them.

I haven’t counted but it would probably be around 30 as well. My food issues were a primary driving factor that made me realize I could be autistic, and I discussed them with my psychologist. Having an explanation makes it much easier for people to understand and respect my food tolerances and intolerances. For years, I would start with “I’m a vegetarian” and then get offered a full plate of vegetables that I couldn’t eat, and it was always awkward. I’ve switched to “I’m autistic and struggle with eating a variety of food. I’d be happy to eat before the gathering / bring something for everyone to share.” Much better.
Today I wrote a list of all the foods I will eat because I’ve been told I’m a picky eater and I wanted to find out if I actually am. I included things I make myself eat to stay healthy (like vegetables.) I broke down full dishes into their ingredients, but I counted pre-made things like chips or peanut butter as 1. In total my list has 33 things on it. I’m curious to know if anyone else has done this and how many foods do you eat? There are 3.1 things I refuse to eat. Kale cause it's bitter, Celery cause it's like trying to eat hair, Figs cause of the wormy texture, and the brown part of a banana because it looks gross.
I’m extremely picky and therefore eat extremely unhealthy since vegetable, some fruits and other healthy food are a big no-no from me❌ I used to be a really picky eater - everything had to be plain (no sauce or spice) no foods touching etc. I think that was a learnt trait though because white my parents were eating other foods later in the evening after work, my brother and I were fed by the babysitter 5 nights a week who made us plain pasta with tuna on the side or potatoes and fish fingers - those kinda meals.

I only have one food that's linked to a bad experience and that's yoghurt. Was made to eat it once by a teacher cause it was the only thing left in the canteen at lunchtime. Despite insisting I hated it, she forced me to - came home after school and puked up all night long. The thought of it and texture just make me want to puke to this day (this happened around 13 years or so ago). I'd say expose your child to as many flavours as you can and let them try your meals if you are eating something different. I gradually came around and now at 21 I'd say I like quite a wide variety of foods - mostly due to moving out and experimenting with what I want to cook. For me, I think it was lack of exposure to a variety of foods, and being forced to eat. My mom rotated the same 3 or 4 meals for dinner, and would always include something she knew I didn't like. To this day I despise sweet potatoes because she would force me to eat a pile of them at dinner. I didn't even have the option of going to bed hungry, which I think I gladly would have taken.

Being as I am an omnivore and eat meat, yes I probably would. I sway back and forth on this. I hate the thought of the horrible farming practices and of living things being scared or suffering for my food - but from a philosophical standpoint animals eating other animals is how balance in maintained in the natural world - the food chain would collapse if all animals were vegetarian for example.

---

As usual I am undecided! As humans we have a tendency to feel we know better and can reason better than other species. If in doubt I tend to look at nature's example. After all, the natural world has been keeping balance for longer than we have been around! I have to say though I do try and limit my meat and animal product consumption and support ethical farming. Human farming is far from 'natural' in many ways!

Although my favourite holiday as a child used to be Christmas because of the presents and the happy atmosphere . The last few years as I grow up I realized that the Easter is a little better. I think is more emotional and religious. Last year was the first time I tried to fast , I didn't eat meat for forty ( other people don't eat many other things) and made me realize that people do not truly need the meat in their daily life so much as other food. It is not so difficult to become a vegetarian lol , ok I'm not , but I was for forty days and I was completely fine it means something 😁. However we do have many interesting Greek Easter Traditions. For example , eggs are being boiled and dyed red , baking tsoureki , Church Bells, Tomb of Jesus, Midnight Church Service and Candles, Red Egg Cracking , Eating Magiritsa ( I don't really like it but many people here love it ) and the last one Roasting the lamp . And who forgets the Easter chocolate eggs or bunnies which are not greek tradition but people here especially kids love it because they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G .
