Hive: Musings about Crothian

[Darkness]

Sorry, as a vegetarian I'm not a good information source for meat products. Especially when it comes to describing them in languages other than my own.

Best I can do is a Google Image Search:

Dictionary.com definition of Schnitzel:

A thin cutlet of veal, usually seasoned, that is dipped in batter and fried.

I know that's how you prepare it, at least.

Know your Enemy, Darkness. You must learn. So, why are you a vegitarian? I'm not asking to harp about it, many friends are and my brother is. I'm just always curiuous as to the reason people do this. I've heard some very odd ones.

When I was little, like, 5 years old, I decided I didn't want to eat nice animals.

I've always been a vegetarian since then but nowadays, one of my main reasons is instead that I simply find dead flesh way too distasteful to change my ways. Not that I want to change, anyway. Adding further weight to this is sheer habit. I haven't eaten meat in 20+ years so it's just not a part of who I am, or want to be.

And I know enough about my enemy to get by - just not enough to explain it in a different language.

Nah, they all eat meat. I just was an unusual kid - and not always to my benefit, either.

and, umm, cows really aren't that nice....

Maybe, but I was a city kid. I didn't have any real-life experience with cows at that age.

Was it easy to do? I know being a vegitarian now is much easier then it was in the states 20 years ago, especially where I grew up. We weren't on a farm, but close to them and meat was just the way of life.

I'd have to ask my mom but I think it wasn't difficult. Vienna is city of 2 million, a national capital, and a tourist mecca. As such, it's a very consumer-oriented place so finding stuff for me to eat wasn't a problem. I think I ate a lot of bread and noodles back then. Fruit as well. Other things too, but I can't recall exactly what right now.
