The things people say

[Dave]

I've had all of these said to me since we started the site up -

"All my foods local - I get it from T***o, it's only round the corner"

"Why would I go to a farmers market, I don't need a tractor?"

"Surely if it grows in the ground it's organic?"

"So you're vegetarian, do you eat sausages?"

[shiney]

There's some plonkers about aren't there?

When I was a vegetarian (yeah I lasped a few years back, my body just needed meaty things!) people used to give me Quiche Lorraine when I went around for a meal.

It's got bacon in it for goodness sake!

lol - I had a client who ran a very posh catered ski chalet and I went out there to do some work for her, I arrived late so the clients had already eaten and she greeted us with big hugs and the news that she'd saved some dinner for my business partner and because I was the only vegetarian she hoped I didn't mind but she'd taken the simple option of fish fingers for me.

As it happens I'm not a *real* veggie and I eat fish, but from people who cater for a living......

not food related but I have a twins, boy and a girl..I kept being asked when they were babies if they were identical

Even had one woman who tried to tell that they can be if they are a boy and girl

LOL I think there might be one or two subtle differences Baldowrie!

When J was born with a cleft lip we had people asking whether it would grow back together again!! Errmmm NO... but thanks for asking anyway, much better than just staring at him

Dave you forgot to say the twin ones that we get, Do you have the same birthday and it must be like looking in the mirror......twice.

One "vegetarian cookery" book had a recipe that contained bacon.

I went for a meal with my parents in a weatherspoons and ordered five bean chilli. They gave me beef chilli and when I complained the response I got was 'but it has beans in it!'

A friend had twins. They were born 15 minutes apart. Though not in her case, they could have been born either side of midnight!

I REALLY love that one!

Ma in law's classic is similar; in a restaurant she was being her usual fussy self as far as food goes.

"I don't eat meat" she said to the waiter. "Do you have any sausages?".

What she ought to tell people is, "I don't like the texture of certain red meats, but I eat bacon, sausages, chicken, ham, meat gravy, pork pies and best of all I love bread and dripping."

[Boots]

To a tree feller topping and clearing trees near powerline: Please don't treat the stumps. We limit all chemical use here on the farm.

"But they'll grow back again in ten years!!"


To a mother who wanted her kid to know where milk came from: All our animals are hand raised.

"Oh, did you give all those ducks bottles too?"



To Daughter #1 when she went to school and left her curling iron and hair crimper on in her room all day: You can remove every form of modern technology from your room because you can't be responsible with them.

"Phew, so you don't want my TV then?"

'you can't digest red meat or pork...or their juices...have some gravy!'

My Grandmother, last year.

'No'
'Oooh, i bet it did, i bet it really hurt didn't it'
'no'
'ooh i bet it really hurt..'
...ad nauseum...
