Our Thanksgivings are pretty typical. We cook potatoes, green bean casserole, field peas, cornbread, turkey, possibly some ham, those purple things that look like jello, and scallops rapped in bacon (my all-time favorite thing). These things plus my grandmother's southern cooking=heaven.
Coming back home as a vegetarian for fall break was a little difficult, but nothing to stress about. But this is Thanksgiving. The holiday created by Americans for just eating. It would be downright unpatriotic of me to refuse to consume our (almost) national bird, honey smoked ham, and scallops rapped in bacon- it would be blasphemy.
So, for this break, I'm taking a break. I'm laying my vegetarian sword to the side and I'm leaving my green gospel at Chapel Hill. Sure I might feel a little bad as I pile meat and more meat onto my plate, but I'm sure that feeling will subside after I consume said food stuffs. Lets be honest yall, its freaking Thanksgiving.
Haha..i'm glad your not staying a vegetarian for Thanksgiving because it wouldn't be Turkey day if you weren't allowed to eat such things. I think it would be repectable to be vegetarian whenever you want, except on the holidays hah. You do not have to feel bad about eating meat, we have always done it..even since the ice age. I like the last sentence, that sums up the truthfulness.
ReplyDeleteHahah when I read the title, I was thinking there's no way thanksgiving can be a vegetarian thanksgiving and still be good eating. That's nice that you're taking a break from all this continuous vegetation at Chapel Hill. I don't if it holds to actually being a vegetarian but hopefully all that meat was satisfying. I know it would be for me if I had gone without for so long. Good luck with going back to the vegetarianism!
