I have been vegetarian for the last third of my life - thinking about giving it up for Lent (1 Viewer)

Jaysus · Feb 28, 2017

That's how Lent works, right? I spent the entire decade of my 30s (and then some) without eating meat and I am thinking about, you know, not doing that anymore. I figure this lent thing sounds like it may be a nice way to ease myself into it.

I am not sure where to start though... what should my first meal be? I have always thought that I would one day eat a chicken cheesesteak again, but the cheesesteaks in the area I live all look awful, so I may need to plan a road trip for one of them.

I am fairly certain that I am going to try o be healthy about it: I have never eaten a McDonalds hamburger, I see no reason to start now. I do not even know what healthy meat is at this point.

Anyway, that is why I am posting this I need some help. I am curious about a healthy, varied diet, but I am mostly curious about what my first meal should be so I get back on the bus in style. Thoughts. comments, suggestions?

I gave up drinking the last year but think I will give that up for Lent. Will probably ease into it with a 3.2 beer.

Why are you giving up being a vegetarian? Just curious, as I am a vegetarian too and can't imagine I'd ever go back to eating meat.

UPDATE: Subway chicken is out.

I am not really sure... it just feels about right. Plus, it should make family dinners easier.

Grass fed ribeye, loaded baked potato with crumbled bacon. Go big or go home

In The Zone · Feb 28, 2017

As good of a place to start as any.

Osaurus · Feb 28, 2017

Speaking from experience, it might be a little unpleasant initially.

Actually only about half chicken, half soy. Seems to be a good place to ease into the meat program.

Good point. I went 10 years after food poisoning from a chicken sandwich at Wendy's in bfe Nebraska while driving from WI to WY. Good times.

This.

Ease into it, GB. Unless you wanna strain something. Your body is gonna react with a "WTF is THIS?" at some point during digestion.

bostonfred · Feb 28, 2017

Don't think about it as the last third. Maybe it's one of the middle eighths. You don't know.

I sure did love me some pepperoni pizza at one point in my life!

Niles Standish · Feb 28, 2017

I wouldn't make any red meat your first meal back. I don't feel great after eating it myself. I would guess it would cause more issues for you than for me. Maybe chicken or fish and see what your body does.

Jayrod · Feb 28, 2017

I think you have to go with a high quality burger to start, right? That or a nice medium rare steak. Or...maybe some grilled brats.

Jeez, it's still an hour until lunchtime and I'm starving now. Thanks, jerks.

trogg78 · Feb 28, 2017

I've been vegetarian for about 3 years now. I think my first meal would be Popeyes fried chicken.

Jaysus · Feb 28, 2017

Damn, I knew soom would consider this blasphemous, but I didn't think the whole site would shut down over it.

AAABatteries · Feb 28, 2017

What the hell kind of pizza you been eating all these years? Nobody can love non-meat pizza that much.

Bucky86 · Feb 28, 2017

Mini wieners

I prefer a large wiener.

RBM · Feb 28, 2017

Good burger might be the way to go.

Or a nice fork tender veal.

AAABatteries · Feb 28, 2017

Why did you become vegetarian to begin with? Health? Moral? Religious?

I think the science is mostly agreed to that lean meats are a fine source of protein.

mquinnjr · Feb 28, 2017

Welcome Home!

Homer J Simpson · Feb 28, 2017

How about a nice greasy pork sandwich, served in a dirty ashtray?

:cry:

RIP Chet

He's gotta work his way up to the big ones again.

I agree. Or a nice lean pork loin/chop.

This.

I did the whole vegetarian thing for a few years at some point in my 30s. At some point, I started convincing myself that the various bacon substitutes were pretty good and there wasn't that big a difference from the real thing. But when I started eating meat again, I realized just how wrong I was.

So if you think you might want to go back to being vegetarian, don't eat bacon because it will take a few more years to get over it again. If you think you're really done, bacon is the answer.
