I'm closing in on 14 years of being a vegetarian--fully half my life I have not eaten meat. Many (probably most) of you are not, so you may not understand our plight, but there is a certain scourge among the menus of most catering companies who provide lunch service for offices. The Grilled Vegetable sandwich. It is bland, it is soggy and it invariably falls apart as you try to eat it. The next person to imply that this ‘grilled vegetable sandwich with balsamic vinegar’ is at all original or that I should be excited to have an option that isn’t salad is going to get grilled and balsamized. I'm vegetarian, not boring. I like foods full of flavor. I like interesting menu options, just like everyone else. These sandwiches, they suck and I know of at least a dozen vegetarians who are also annoyed at how prevalent they are. And don't get me started on Salads. The 'mixed greens salad' is basically my least favorite thing in the world.
Do you have any foods you absolutely hate which are everywhere? I’m sure anyone with a wheat allergy has a list a mile long of things they wish weren't everywhere. Lactose intolerant people?
I think I become obsessed with food at work.
