I think I’ve realised I will eventually fall into just treating myself to meat when I’m on holiday or a really special occasion.
I eat chicken, turkey, fish and processed pork.
I'd say roughly 2/3 meals a week have one of the above in, usually at the weekend.
Big fan of vegetarian food though and will happily order such at restaurants. I'm often entirely veggie on holidays because I just don't like bad quality meat.
Well, as an update, I’m still pretty much pescatarian. I’ve now eaten meat 4 times since February- twice on the same weekend away, once on two other different weekends away.

I genuinely like tofu a lot now. If we're having pho or teriyaki I'll usually have the tofu option because I properly want it, rather than because I feel I ought to. Only ever tried cooking with it once at home though, and it was a disaster, so for the time being at least it's an eating out meal.
Quorn on the other hand I just cannot get on with, even though it's really easy to use. I still find you have to work so hard to get any flavour in it, and even then the texture is unpleasant in the mouth. And I'll invariably eat the meal thinking how much nicer it would have been if it was minced beef or lamb, or chicken pieces or whatever.
The thing with going vegan is that it extremely limits your choices when eating out, most places now cater for vegetarians but vegan food can be more difficult to get when in a normal restaurant.
I LOVE tofu.I've gone of Quorn, I'll admit...I'm getting on better with tofu and a bit of seitan (sp?) here and there.
I LOVE tofu.
Quorn is hit and miss. Every once in a while I'll make a Quorn mince chilli but that's it. For my spag bol days I tend to go more lentil based...
Interesting. I've always spagbol'ed with quorn. Lentils might be a new twist.
I mean honestly, the best thing any of us can do for the planet is kill ourselves really, isn't it?
At this rate it's going to save you the trouble
Of course it is. I certainly wouldn't give up meat because I don't like the taste or wouldn't miss it, because I do and I would.Thing is, if you're considering going veggie for environmental or animal welfare reasons, shouldn't you really be going vegan? The dairy industry is appalling for both. Or perhaps that's just me as a meat eater justifying doing FUCK ALL, and claiming that because I don't have kids and don't drive, I'm already in credit over most.

As a meat eater but strictly no seafood (I just think it’s disgusting in every possible sense), I’ve always thought Pescatarians were such cop outs.
I had a vegetarian roast out today and it was a bit shit to be honest. It was literally just the roast without the meat
