Only a vegetarian will understand how it feels to be around a bunch of people who are die hard non-veg food lovers. It is almost like a deer being friends with lions. All your friends love to eat non-veg, and always try hard to make you eat non-veg too.
Here are the things every vegetarian experiences when they’re friends with a group of non-vegetarians
1. You don’t eat non-veg?
It’s the biggest shock for them when they first get to know that you’re a vegetarian.
2. You drink and smoke but you don’t eat non-veg?
Duh! What has smoking and drinking got to do with eating non-veg?
3. Dude you’re missing out on some great stuff!
They get such dialogues quite often.
4. They often dare you to eat non-veg, in return of anything that you want
I triple-dog-dare you to quit non-veg and ill give you anything you want.
5. Taste toh kar yaar… sacchi you will love it!
Have you tasted paneer? Soya chunks?
6. Aare ek veg tandoori laana
Like saying veg tandoori makes it sound funny! ugh!
7. Ghaas poos khane se shakti milti hai? How do you manage to live on that?
Vegetables are really healthy. Look up online.
8. Judgmental looks when you start fetching for veg food
What? I am hungry I need food.
9. Does your body lack proteins?
Along with chicken and eggs there is proteins in sprouts too, you know? That’s where I get it from.
10. You don’t even eat eggs?
Okay, I said I am a vegetarian. Vegetarian is not equal to Eggitarian.
11. Often tell you the cake is eggless, so you don’t refuse to eat it
Look that’s not right. Honesty is the best policy.
12. Don’t you feel like tasting non-veg? Aren’t you tempted?
Do you feel tempted to eat veg food? Ah… no right? yeah almost the same.
13. Argument saying plants are living and you kill them so, what’s the point of not eating non-veg?
Plant kingdom and animal kingdom are different. Flora and fauna? I don’t believe in killing animals for the pleasure of my taste buds.
14. Give you shit like – Haan tu toh paise bacha saale, veg khake!
WTH! I am a vegetarian, what has money saving got to do with it?
15. Accha chicken ka piece mat khana sirf gravy khaa lena
Okay then! Alright then! Bye then!
These are the things every vegetarian gets from all their non-vegetarian friends. But hey! all the vegetarians have their beliefs and they want to stick by their choice. So, enjoy your paneer tikka 😉
