What the.. you're meant to be the expert here. 
How do you not know what star anise is? 
Yer mam probs has it stored in one of these.
I actually eat most things with me hands too but.. no way can I eat 'chicken with gravy' (kmt I dunno how to explain) without cutlery. Unless it's with rotli. But yeah, rice.. I never use a spoon or.....fork, as some people do.

My mum doesn't have one of those 
Chicken with gravy

Up to a certain age it's obvs gonna make things easier for the vegetarian parents (I'm assuming they're vegetarians) to feed their child as a vegetarian also, but I think if the child gets older and wants to eat meat then it is their choice Though, I think if a child has been raised as a vegetarian they're prolly gonna stay a vegetarian. But I acknowledge that's not always the case.
If a doctor recommends a certain meat - ie. red meats for iron, lean for protein etc, and this doesn't oppose any religious mumbo jumbo of the parents and child then I think the parents should follow that, if suitable replacements aren't an option (spinach and brocolli are good for iron lol, and nuts for protein but allow nuts
)
I think the parents should think about their children's health and overall welfare before anything else. Unless they're like proper hippy vegans that don't even think touching a chicken is appropriate... it's perfectly possible and healthy to live as a vegan/vegetarian. But being a meat eater I think allows for a better balanced diet really.
Yeah I'm bored, ffs, waiting for something to buffer **** you internet

We had half a module on Petroleum in the first-term, absolute joke they way they tricked me. As for the price, you have to ask an Economist like Matt (LOOL), I just deal with finding black gold
Omg man I remember in primary school, I went over to my friend's house and her whole family were like vegetarian- even the CAT. (Which I swear isn't healthy for cats?)They had like pictures of creepy, happy vegetables everywhere and my friend and her brother weren't allowed to play with farm animal toys or even have anything to do with farms because her parents were bat****crazy really animal friendly. lol.
ANYWAY her mum made us some... weird eggplant quiche thing, it was RANK. I just braved it down and then her mum was like "LOLZ HAVE SUM MOAR" and she gave me seconds and I just had to eat it. After that we were playing in her room, and he brother barged in and threw his soiled underwear at my friend, and it got into her ... hair, so her mum had to wash it out. THEN the cat threw up its weird veggie food infront of me, and that was the LAST STRAW
Man puked when I got home and vowed never to go to that friend's house again.
So yeah, that's my anecdote for vegetarian families. Make of it what you wish.

Yeah I think I agree wit that. Allow forcing your beliefs onto others.
Man, until last night I didn't even know fish bowls were meant to be drank by two people. Genuinely shocked but I guess....coming from this part of the world, I wasn't to know any better. #northernpissupsinafield #paraplegicforthebanter

lmfao can just imagine you necking an entire ****ing fishbowl
lmfao I bet Em's that awkward, always really drunk friend who gets pissed really easily, the one no one wants to look after the whole night, so they leave her sitting down somewhere passed out.

There are so many more female vegetarians than male. I wonder if men have less self-control...or they just don't care as much.
Almost certainly the latter.
My dad made me have soya milk before church once, I think it put me off milk altogether. I can remember everything I smelt that day, the milk, the now defunct tyre factory, my Nigerian friend's house (I don't think I even went inside). So now I avoid soya milk, in fact most milk (unless it's Mars or Galaxy, on a good day); I won't even touch it.
True story.

How did they trick you? Didn't you know what you were signing up for? 
Not sure whether this says more about the thread, or me

How did they trick you? Didn't you know what you were signing up for? Yeah yeah, I didn't think it was this bad though, you specialise more in your 2nd, 3rd and 4th year, I'll be focusing more on Petroleum as I progress. As for know, we're learning "the basics"..
man I love milk
I drink a glass of the good ol' full fat every day
