Hate to be that guy, but the icing on frosted Pop Tarts contains gelatin derived from bones, hooves, tendons, ligaments, etc., making it not vegetarian.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That makes it not vegan but last time I checked, vegetarians only steer clear of meat, not all animal products. It's like veganism, but less obsessive.

[-] criminalunicorn@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Animal carcasses are not vegetarian... Things like milk, eggs and honey (honey can be questionable) would be classed as vegetarian. Essentially anything that causes an animal to die to be consumed would not be vegetarian.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

anything that causes an animal to die to be consumed would not be vegetarian.

That would explicitly NOT include gelatin, which is made from the hooves and the like of animals already slaughtered for the parts people eat. Literally no one is slaughtering animals to make gelatin.

[-] Strawberry 8 points 1 year ago

It would also decidedly not include pork tenderloin, which is made from the tenderloin of animals already slaughtered

It's actually one of those things that varies for each person, how extreme they are with vegetarian. They might avoid anything that contains geletain including gummies or certain medications because it requires an animal byproduct to make.

Eggs and dairy are not part of an animal carcass. You don't have to kill an animal to enjoy it.

Vegans believe using animals for any food (or maybe even product) is wrong so they avoid eggs, milk, dairy, etc. Or maybe it's they are vegan in that they only eat eggs or whatever from their own free range chickens. Some vegans won't get vaccines if they contain egg protein.

Basically often both diets are often moral choices so there can be as much variety to how restrictive or serious it is just like any human will have variety in their morals details even if there is overlap on general idea (ffs just look at Christianity)

And oh there are people who are vegetarian just because they don't like the taste or texture of meat!

Sorry for the ramble I found this really interesting when I became friends with people who have different diets. It's interesting how much variety they can have.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some vegans won’t get vaccines if they contain egg protein.

Vegan here, that seems a little extreme, and I haven't heard of any vegan who does that. Also for many vaccines they make egg-free variants anyways. There are not really many good excuses to not get vaccinated if you ask me

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

What about all the people that don’t know to ask you?

[-] Strawberry 6 points 1 year ago

last time I checked, bones, hooves, tendons, and ligaments, are meat, not just animal products, and most vegetarians would agree

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

None of those things are meat, no. Meat = muscle tissue. Bones, hooves and connective tissue are not muscle tissue.

[-] Cornucopiaofplenty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Hmm yes, I'm sure the average vegetarian would make that petty distinction

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's not a petty distinction, it's an accurate and meaningful one: when I eat meat, an animal has been slaughtered for that purpose. When I eat or otherwise use gelatin, no animal has been slaughtered for that purpose as those parts are byproducts of animals already dead. Thus, no animal is killed for gelatine

I kinda hope this was a happy accident and OP didn't plan this lol

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

You've missed off the sausage roll, you absolute savage.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Looks American. It's also got the American blanketed pigs and corn dogs.

This picture annoys me because I expected some classic beige foods like a sausage roll, pork pie or scotch egg after the Wellington.

Instead we get these abortions.

[-] ericisshort@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Can confirm corn dogs and pigs in a blanket are NOT abortions, as evidenced by the fact that they are legal in US states where abortions are not.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds like the real vegetarian option

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago

dont u ever talk shit about corn dogs again

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah, and kids parties? That shits at like state fairs and amusement parks and always there is your freezer.

[-] Slovene@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

OK, we'll talk shit about cornhole dogs.

[-] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

I feel like tamales should be part of this. Even pupusas

Hotpockets and Poptarts but

No pasties. The wayward topless dancer daughter.

No (Chicken) Pot Pie. The stoner draft dodger uncle.

No shepherds pie. The religious freak, mashed potato brained uncle.

[-] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

A true shepherd's pie is made with lamb and cottage pie is the one that is made with beef.

A wonderful history of calzone subtypes.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

Wait, what the fuck do Americans think pigs in a blanket is?

[-] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago

Here it refers to hot dogs rolled in croissant dough and baked.

[-] jayrodtheoldbod@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago

Not proper croissant dough, this comes in a can and would make a French baker angry. So it's real easy to wrap the weenies in.

Don't forget about those little weenies that come in a can, sometimes we wrap those in shame dough too.

[-] EnderMB@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It amazes me that American's are still trying to make this a thing.

They've not only "invented" the sausage roll, they named it after a staple part of a Christmas dinner. It's two simultaneous kicks in the face.

[-] sfbing@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

What do non-Americans think it is?

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Small Sausage wrapped in bacon.

Whoever drew this has never seen a beef wellington before. That's a whole loaf of bread with a slab of beef stuffed in it.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

No. It looks like a giant twinkie with a slab of beef in it

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Chicken cordon Bleu, the rich uncle who no one ever sees anymore

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

Your pigs-in-blankets are incorrect.

[-] owatnext@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Came to the comments to say this lol. They have gelatin in them, which is made from animal bones.

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ain't food either
