All this hippy nonsense is getting too much. I walked past one of Ramsey’s many ‘Crystal’ shops (yes, a shop that sells crystals and yes, there is more than one in the town of Ramsey) and I noticed this sign;
Loving making jewellery!!! Someone has created jewellery that can have sex! That or their grammar was a bit off.
However I went on to read something more bizarre later in the day;
''Vegetarian or vegan cat food has been available for many years, and is targeted primarily at vegan and vegetarian pet owners. While a small percentage of owners choose such a diet based on its perceived health benefits, the majority do so due to ethical concerns. Cats are obligate carnivores and require nutrients (including arginine, taurine, arachidonic acid, vitamin A, vitamin B12 and niacin) found in meat sources that cannot be obtained in sufficient amount in plant sources. According to the National Research Council, "unsupplemented vegetarian diets can result in harmful deficiencies of certain essential amino acids, fatty acids, and vitamins." Vegetarian pet food companies attempt to correct these deficiencies by supplementing their products with synthetically produced nutrients'' (Wikipedia)
Poor guy just wanted some meat; no more vegetarian cat food
I’m an obligate carnivore, I hope I’m not down on an required nutrients. But in terms of cat food it’s a bit mental. I always wondered who the 2 out of 10 cats were. While all their feline chums are tucking into Whiskas these poor moggies are suffering a nutritionally void vegetarian option. As the website vegancats.com says they are a ‘cruelty free alternative for cats and dogs’. However cats are naturally cruel (I’ll never forget the cat who brought me the severed head of a baby rabbit that it had just killed) so who are vegetarians to deny the natural way of things? Its ok for them to choose to not eat meat but to force their belief on a animal who will just go out and kill anyway is on a Susan Boyle level of mental! (She likes cats, wonder if hers gets vegetarian cat food…)
Vegetarian Dish of the Day:
Quorn Sausages
Box Blurb: Deliciously succulent Quorn sausages perfectly seasoned with onion.
Having thoroughly enjoyed Linda’s sausages I thought I would give the Quorn ones a go. I pan fried them but things looked off from the starts. The sausages gave off a thin white foam and looked hideously dry. I thought I was in a vile time but as I bit into one I was shocked. Textured almost identically to a dodgy meat hotdog and tasting almost the same it was a revelation. Obviously no good if you don’t like those but to create such a match without the need for mechanically reclaimed meat should be applauded. I served them with mashed potato to create the English classic of Bangers and Mash. In terms of vegetarian sausages I would rate these over the highly lauded McCartney version.
