Not really grossed out, surprised maybe. Raided for having skinned felines in the freezer. No, I did not indicate to the owner that I did not eat kitty meat, mainly because his menu indicated beef, chicken, pork. Doubt it listed cat.
The answer of course is no. You never let it cross your mind that people would eat cat meat. So why mention ahead of time that you don’t eat it?
You are correct, there was no need to mention the fact that I only eat legally acceptable foods in a public restaurant.
Allot of Jewish people stay in their own community, (they work, go to Synagogue and have friends with like tastes, all close to home) and never give it a thought to have to tell someone they don’t eat that kind of food.
Then they find themselves at a picnic and realize the error, but they still need the respect not to be fed pork, and picking it out is not possible. Its nasty juice has contaminated everything it touched.
I know you think the guy was a pain. What if you were in a group who love eating chocolate covered dung beetles? How adamant would you be demanding an apple instead?
Totally understandable, but when you choose to differentiate from the majority, one would think that it is your responsibility to notify others of such. I would gladly have cooked his eggs before all the others, and before any meat touched the pan. He saw the menu, he watched me mix the food and start cooking, then comes up to me.
Sometimes in this world, trying to see things from another’s perspective will bring the maturity to accept diversity and not judge them as just trying to be a “princess”…like the mean statement made by a usually sweet girl “There is one in every crowd”
I think she was referring to an a-hole. Not a religious statement.
You know that old saying. Try walking a mile in their shoes before you judge them. The guy wasn’t trying to be a pain, he was hungry and really wanted an “apple” to eat instead, so to speak.
In some cases, yes. In this case, the guy was not looking an apple. He was visibly, physically outraged. At first I thought he was referring to being a vegetarian, hence my suggestion to pick out the meat. IMO, he only brought a negative light to his religion/heritage thru his attitude. There are better ways that he could have gotten what he wanted. Instead, he got GRITS
