Morrissey bans meat.

[dorsetvale]

Birdy, Ive just been struck by the curse of the Hamburg chocolate chicken again! Battered chicken impersonating a bit of fish, in a pub in Chester.

i hear he's being interviewed for the bbc ......by richard bacon ......but he had to change his name to richard quorn sausage for the day

I have to feel that with Morrissey it's all a publicity stunt. I have no problem with vegetarians or vegans, but he throws it in our faces. We have a choice to eat meat or not to do so, why should he ban it from everyone attending the gig!

I remember the program a few years ago on a Friday night 10:30pm called Central Weekend. Always good for a laugh. (Nicky Campbell amongst others often hosted it)

Topic one week was vegetarianism and one of the 'panel' was Mad O'Rourke (who looked a bit like Grandad off 'Bread') of the 'Mad O'Rourke pie factory' pub chain - a great establishment in Tipton known for its Cow Pie and real ale. He professed to eat 'Raw Meat'

Immediately they switched to a member of the audience who said 'I've been a vegetarian all my life and it ha sdone me no harm!. Screen showed pale shallow faced chap with straight straw like hair. - I choked on my glass of beer.

 

Questions - Was vegetarianism ever discussed/known about/practised in Roman, Tudor, the dark ages etc. When did it come to the attention of the masses?

Less of the so more slightly, tramp.

 

Glandular problem......big boned...... :D Never been thin, even when I was a fit athletic youngster and vegan for ten years.

 

Or just eat too many veggie burgers

[blinkme]

how is this even a news story?!

 

i'm a meat eater and have been to 100's of gigs, do you know how many meat based products i have bought at shows? ****ing none! (with the exception of festivals - which these shows are not)

 

if you generally go to shows that even sell hot dogs in the venue, let alone buy them, then you have bigger issues to worry about

 

like how not to be an absolute square

If we weren't supposed to eat meat we wouldn't have canines. (Thats them sharp fang-like teeth between the incisors and molars for those who dont know).

[Away Days]

I'm going his Hanley gig, might try sneak a hot dog in

[Birches Head Fred]

When I saw the thread title I assumed he had renounced his sexuality.

[blinkme]

i find that whether someone likes morrissey or not is the best acid test for determining if said person has a brain

[Redditch Valiant]

Didn't Hitler have the same thing then?

 

Yes, I'm sure he did. I don't see what your point is. Do you think it's WRONG for people to have the courage of their convictions, as opposed to being hypocrites?

[Leicestershire Valiant]

When I saw the thread title I assumed he had renounced his sexuality.

 

When I saw the thread title I read it initially as "Morrison's ban meat," - it certainly made me sit up and take notice. I thought "there'll be some interesting offers on the 'whoooops!' shelf this weekend"

[lymmshady]

morrisey famously explained his leather shoes and belts by pointing out that there is no alternative.

 

he was right of course and for exactly the same reason, the pork chops i eat have to be out of pigs.

[fairportnick]

Saw him last night , he had a real go at William and Kate over the pate in Canada.

Great gig. Its was as much fun watching some of the audience too.

Meat is Murder was pretty intense last night.
