The nearest I get to that, Dave, is sardines on toast.

Without the orange? A little lime juice goes well with that though!

The mention of lime juice makes me crave Key Lime pie

brandy, lime and soda - trouble is I don't drink now.

1302

lime marmalade with salty butter on thick toast (I can feel my heart cringing just at the mention!)

[kbell]

Ooh, lime marmalade. That's something I've never even had.

A bad year for the Scots. Edward I took Stirling Castle, the last stronghold of the realm.

I don't drink my gin with lime these days if I can help it. I drink Caorunn (pronounced Koorn, it means Rowan Tree) with slices of crisp aromatic red apple and Fever Tree tonic. Expensive but yummy. I like lime marmalade.

My favourite marmalade is 'Tawny' which is full of lovely slugs.

1306 - and I have just had some on my morning toast. It is made from Seville oranges by Wilkin & Sons of Tiptree, Essex, UK and is thick cut and nearly 50% fruit.

What % slugs then?

[jaywhat]

1307 - What % slugs then?

1308

can't say as I eat them with my eyes shut

[kbell]

Not a vegetarian then, jaywhat?

Don't eat meat but I guess there are exceptions.

Excluding the carnivorous varieties of slug (they exist) since they eat 100% plant matter could they not be considered vegetables?

[jaywhat]

1312

Are you saying that some humans are vegetables?

[Dave B]

1313

That could be true.

Hmm, that makes cows vegetables as well . . .

[jaywhat]

1314

so some vegetables are cannibals !

Well, strictly cannibals only eat other members of their own species, not members of their "kingdom".

But then, these days who knows what meat animals are fed when there are things like "mad cow disease" and scrapie about!!!

You are what you eat; and I only eat vegetarians, so..

I was about to claim the same until I realised that free range chickens are omnivores - they eat worms and small frogs etc.

[thundril]

And fish eat fish. But I can't think of many other carnivores that are farmed. Feeding meat to produce meat is probably not economically efficient.
But 'you are what you eat' means a cannibal who only ate vegetarians would be a vegetarian.
