Once we were having dinner with chinese colleagues and it started again. Me and my friend were the only fighters from veg-front.
Chinese colleague: "so you dont eat non vegetarian food ?"
Me: "no."
Cc: "not even chicken ?"
Me: "NO ! it IS considered non vegetarian."
Cc: "ohhh" (and continued on his chicken tikka)
(3-4 minutes pause and some other discussion)
another Cc: "so why dont you eat chicken? You dont like it?"
My-bro-in-arms: "oh yes i like chicken!"
(i was like 'huh dude ! What are you doing??')
He continued: "in fact i love chicken, and thats why i dont eat them."

I faced a similar incident...
ReplyDeleteI had gone to a crude carrier ship for a day and the crew was a mix of Ukrenian & Russians...
It was really hard to make the Ukrenian chef understand that vegeterian and Vegetables are two completely different things & there are people who survive without meat...
When i asked for the options available for lunch he started with "BIP"... I asked him thrice and the answer was the same "BIP... Sir BIP" in a typical Russian Ascent... Finally frustrated with my various interpretations of "BIP" he put both his hands on his head like the horns of a cow and said Bhooooooo... Finally i understood asked "Beef"... he said "Yes Yes BIP" & we had a good laugh...
Eventually I settled for Bread Butter & Jam & he asked very casually "Would you like to begin with chicken soup!!!!!!!"
I love vegetables as well. What should I do?
ReplyDeletelol :)
