There Is a Vegan Option Norman

Recently (meaning it happened within the same month, or at a point in history) I heard an report that a number of Americans where turning towards vegan-ism (its an ethos right?), something I found hilariously ironic for a country that possibly eats the largest amount of meat in the world - and no that is not an overt dick sucking joke, as after all it is other countries that suck on America's throbbing member.

Another suggested piece by a fellow employee - beep, boop, At the best place to work ever - Speaking of, you should suggest some yourself, and you know what? Do it now, here :https://twitter.com/Drake_Best: No  don't read further, just do it... I can wait...

What took you so long? And I was talking to the pretty one, but sigh you'll do...

Now that, that flow breaker is out of the way, we can continue. Last month where I neglected to put any post (because I'm lazy, deal with it), I made a new friend whilst on lunch His name was Norman, and seeing how I was trapped and mid-way through my SUBWAY! I could hardly get up and leave. I liked Norman though as he hated everything as well and after a few discussions on my favourite topics we moved on to vegetarian's (somehow) and then Vegans. Now my colleague at work suggested writing about them last month as did the news report but, Norman reminded me of it and posed a good conversation which although made me late stopped me from getting wet.

Norman tells the story of how one day his friend moved to being a vegetarian - which is fair, I've  a few friends who where/are veggies its there choice and more meat for the rest of us right? - well then the next day Norman's friend turned into a Vegan and under hushed tones "a massive arsehole". As he had switched into a "tree-hugging, hippie" who wouldn't eat with other meat eaters because he didn't want to think of all the animals that had to suffer. Which I guess makes sense, its his prerogative after all, but then this was followed by Norman's friend not eating anything which came into contact with meat, he wouldn't use glue and wear anything which was made from any form of animal products! He had become, A Vegan.

What!! But it's cold and woollen jumpers are warm! That makes limited sense to me: being a red-blooded, meat eating manly man of course, but I can understand veggies. After all there are some who eat fish, some who can eat some chicken etc... etc... and for the most part they aren't dicks about it they are aware that you may not be a veggie but won't make a big thing about it. think of it this way, if you were having a dinner party and you knew you had veggies coming well you'd make a veggie menu, I've no idea of the specifics but I know salad and veggies are an option. Boom! here is your salad whilst I eat my cheese burger. This is easy and talking about being a veggie is a stimulating conversation especially if they were a fellow meat eater and decided to change. its interesting - mostly.

However much like my run in with the bible basher, I dislike vegans who seem to want to convert other people to their side of things, back to the dinner party analogy a paragraph ago. If a veggie had a dinner party and they had meat eaters over, they would offer some meat, granted it wouldn't be a full English or Sunday dinner but a degree of meat to be had. Vegan's dinner party. No meat allowed!

Is this the pinnacle of our society? that the opposable  thumb, spear, sword, fork and gun powder has propelled humans to such a height on the food chain, that people don't want to bother eating those below them? the argument is that they don't want animals to suffer and that humans aren't meant to eat animals 0. o are you high sir? why do we have canines in our arsenal of shiny teeth? if not to tear the fleas from bone. Cows have to be milked to keep them healthy, but some vegans want to propelled the safety of those animals above humans.

Given the opportunity a many number of the carnivorous creatures in the eco-system would snap up a human, we have no claws, no real thick skin, limited fur (unless your Italian  HEY-YO!!!) a straight up fight. we're screwed. However, we have a brain, and the adaptability to use that pointy stick.

 In the battle of survival of the fittest, it is not the strongest, the fastest or the biggest who wins, but it is he who is most adaptable to the situation. alternatively of course we were given a choice in this life and although Vegans choose their way I'll still have my fries with a side mountain of steak.

Subway My Divinty

So this is two months old - I've just finished it - there’ll be a few more coming up so stay tuned and keep linking.

Those that know me and have the somewhat dishonour to take lunch with me realise that: I. Fucking. Love. Subway. Literally love it, I love it more than some of the people I’ve dated (I May regret saying that later).

But I Digress ... It’s not just the food though that I like, as in short it’s just a sandwich - which is toasted and has cheese on it and is awesome – it’s also the personality of the subway that you are in that adds to the enjoyment. As after all Subway is a franchises and not one in my town is the same; some large, some small, some fun, some crap. In my particular town (centre-ish) there are about five Subways in my town, and I’m somewhat proud to say that I have visited all of them, and broken them down into their pros and cons, because, well why the hell not and I have an afternoon to slaughter.

Below is a review of subway locations in my home town that I have currently visited.

Broad Street mall – This is next to a model or collectors shop, which has the weirdest assortment of stuff I have ever seen, there is crap in there I suppose I could call ‘toys’ but I may get beaten to death by strategy board gamers, or whatever the hell they want to call themselves. Anyway to the subway itself, it is surprisingly large inside, as from the dirty and cramped outside (a busy bus stop on its doorstep) on the inside, it stretches roughly 25feet and has a decent amount of seating, the window seats are rubbish though as they are often taken up by people wanting somewhere to sit whilst waiting for the bus (not that the view is mush to speak of) it has an average speed staff to cope with the large ques, which is good the down side mainly being that by far it is the hottest subway in the entire town and that some of the staff just guess at your order

Gun street – annoyingly no guns on sale there, clearly the damn should be changed to something more appropriate like watch where the hell you step street, nowhere else in my town is there a more uneven road, it is a pain in the arse even when sober to walk down it. Anyway, this subway has to be one of my favourite subways in all of Reading by no means is it the largest, there are only four tables and maybe 12 chairs but the people who work there are the nicest people I’ve met and they actually listen your order And better yet they are the most likely to offer extra cheese for free should you not have salad – as salad is gay – so if you’re new to subway then that is the best place to start as there is often almost no que so take you time.

Reading Station – Only found this one recently, within the last month actually and I have to say it has the nicest bread... ever! All the other places the staff have a tendency to mess up the bread either because the toaster is set weird or they end up crushing it, so your epic sandwich is now a mush. Along the other draw backs are that it’s in the station so often busy, the view can be nice sometimes if it’s sunny out and during the festival otherwise it’s a bloody train station you get what you see. Another problem is that the staff doesn’t listen and there is a marginal mark up in price. And when I say they don’t listen I mean they don’t understand, how hard is chicken and cheese toasted difficult not only did I get a lot of what’s? Back at me but also I ended up getting a double cheese AND double chicken it was the biggest and most difficult sandwich to eat EVER! The other reason why it was a difficult sandwich is that I got charged £8.90! I was on my lunch break so I couldn’t even send it back.

Riverside – this is the best one if you aren’t eating alone like a loner as it has star buck esquire comfy seats to chow down you tasty nom-wich and the staff is nice and – if you flirt with the vendors – you can get free cheese, the issue is that it is surrounded by large offices so the lines are often long, but the views can be nice as you watch the world go by.

Friar street – This is the worst of the lot though, rude staff, who don’t listen... I SAID NO SALAD! What do I get salad...Bastards, avoid this subway.

What’s annoying is that I haven’t visited all the subways in my town *sad face*, I still have roughly 4-5 more to visit and test the atmosphere, and I’m sure that there will be new combinations of food I haven’t tasted yet, which is great I don’t know what my future will hold with regards to subway.

But I know that there won’t be any salad in it though. Fuck Salad! ¬.¬
