For our first meal my new man 'treated' me to an asda chicken pizza, knowing i'm veggy. should i have words?
Answers:
He was probably nervous and forgot you were a veggie. Why don't you just gently remind him.at least he tried, tha's more than some men!!
Yes, you should talk to him. He should've understood and respected your choices. You probably should have reminded him right then and there, but if you didn't, next time he plans to take you out, why don't you suggest somewhere that you know has vegetarian food. Then you both can get whatever you want, then maybe stray into a light conversation about you being a vegetarian and why you started, etc. That will help him remember better for the future.
Yes.
But be gentle. He may be one of those that think chicken is veggy to as they only eat corn. Could be..
When I was in America a few years back, the yanks couldn't understand the concept of vegetarian. When I asked for an alternative to meat, I used to get, "Well chicken isn't meat!". Maybe your new man is thinking along the same lines! It's only fair, however, that you make it known to him. If he wasn't doing out of spite, he'll probably be mortified to know he's upset you, especially if it's the start of your romance. Try telling him gently. As for a ready meal from ASDA, well than's another story entirely!
If he did it on purpose then he doesn't understand or is just plain controlling and doesn't respect that you have taken control of your diet. I'm a veggy too and my g/f understands. She's still a meat eater and I respect that.
Yes you should - I'm a veggie too and firstly if he's your new man he should be paying extra special attention to what you say so he should have remembered, and secondly he should have pushed the boat out a bit more and taken you out for a meal instead of buying a cheap supermarket pizza. Not a good sign. It seems as if he really fancied a chicken pizza and isn't caring if you like it or not. Get rid of immediately!
Yes you should, the first is Bye and so is the second
Be nice- he may not understand Vegan - Communication is the key - after all isn't that waht answers is about if we can communicate here we should be able to closer to home- talk to him -see his reaction maybe he will even try vegan life style once he understands the benefits.
Maybe he just didnt remember at that time since he is so overwelmed by you. Sometimes, you want to do things so right that you end up messing it. Dont judge him on this first mistake. Give him the chance to prove himself. Am sure, he did not do it on purpose. He is bound to remember next time.
omg why did he u should of ordered shouldn't you
It is probably worth letting him know sooner rather than later! The next time he can buy you a cheese, mushroom & tomato pizza instead!
I think a lot of people associate vegetarians with people who just don't eat red meat. I have a friend who's vegetarian, but she eats turkey and chicken occasionally. Maybe just let him know what kind of vegetarian you are. There are several different kinds, maybe he got a little confused! Of course the only things that should be on a pizza, in my humble opinion are sauce, cheese, veggies and sausage! chicken just doesn't sound good on pizza!
Only if you plan on seeing him again.
If you continue to see him, explain what you can & can not eat. He may be an idiot & not understand your dietary preferences.
If he buys chicken pizza again, save the pizza for me & find a new boyfriend.
words? id just leave him. what a selfish, unobservant idiot! for the first meal my man cooked me, he made my favorite meal with my favorite dessert and my favorite wine. id only told him once and that was about a month before the meal (took so long as he works loads). Then when i was upset at work he turned up with the biggest box of my favorite chocolates also with a smily face chocolate lollipop. if a man cant even remember your veggie, then is he really worth it???
Nope.
ASDA, Chicken Pizza, Veggy.
Forget about it and move on, this relationship is obviously not meant to be.
Just remind him gently. If he *keeps* doing it, there's a problem.
Yes. Tell it was a nice idea but being a vegetarian means NO ANIMALS. There are so many non-veggies that think chicken is alright. But just explain in a way that doesn't hurt his feelings and makes him understand that it can upset you.
better now than later. Be gentle mind could have been a geniune mistake.
I am a red blooded carnivore and if my man treated me to a asda chicken pizza on our first meal I'd walk.
he may have thorght its was a veggi but a little word will not hurt
He probably didn't understand what you can and can't eat hun.be gentle on him and explain..then you can enjoy your love food together!
yes, absolutely have words!!
He probably assumed you eat chicken. Maybe you should explain to him the different types of vegetarians, and what exactly you eat and don't eat.
I have found it helpful to share a few of my favorite dishes and restaurants with people, so they have a better idea of what I like to eat. Obviously, it helps to tell people my dietary restrictions, but if I leave it at vegetarian, sometimes people think a salad suffices for my meal! The more specific you can be, the better.
Big spender!
