It's nice knowing that what ever you build here is that your not wrong..I think the No1 unwritten rule here is that there are no rules 😉

That's true - its quite refreshing to not "have" to worry about getting things spot-on in case someone starts picking it to pieces! And I've already got ideas for Whif #2 and Whif#3!  ;D

Cheers,

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Mate play it safe ..your friends and family love and need you so please never ever ask about the number between 5 and 7 ..it's like a gateway to hell or some alternative reality-based nightmare  where everybody is forced to eat only tofu based food products and drive only electric cars made in russia...so I've been told ..ive never asked about that number ..I never will 😵�💫
I don't like tofu 😐 quite fond of Burger King though 😋
Just keep repeating to yourself.."there's no such thing as Rule ₩₩₩"
 :thumbsup:  ;D
Honestly I have no idea why we don't ask about rule 6 ..it's just one of the weird and wonderful things about this place  <_<

My :-X ! I'm never mentioning it again - tofu and electric cars give me the heebie jeebies and the idea of an eternity of either would be enough to make me turn to drink (if I hadn't already)  :drink:  (Actually, Guy @Old Wombat has PM'd me the explanation  <_< perhaps you could share the secret, Guy?)

😆 🤣...with all the yrs I've been here no one had ever told me about rule 6 ...but then again I've never asked so  that could be the reason 🙃 

I used to have a friend who was a girl who ate tofu burgers and she'd give me crap when I'd dig into a double whopper with cheese 😅 oh with extra mayo and ketchup  😀

That's hilarious, makes me chuckle  <_<  I can't imagine what a tofu burger tastes like, but I know tofu is bean curd and that's enough to put me off  :wacko:

 ;D  I'm far from vegan or vegetarian, most of my main meals include some sort of meat and, although my wife is fully vegan, i haven't ate tofu burgers yet... i do have some soja ones and i can say that they're pretty good, obviously not meat but, to me they taste good so, i have a couple of fat ones from time to time. They're even better with some cheese and mayo for sure... ;D

Well I just enjoyed a Hawaiian pizza and a garlic bread with a ice cold can of V energy drink and there wasn't a single bit of tofu anywhere 😅
As for the vegetarian vegan thing ..well nope ..I'll admit I did have a vegetarian pie and it was damn good ..a Ron of taste..this was at a dinner party at a friend's place ..great tasting food but nowhere enough of it ..so I had Wendy's Burgers on the way home 😋

Oh Mark one thing you might have figured out by now or you might not have but we can go off topic in a heart beat around here and it's normally a good laugh or very insightful 😄
Don't worry tho..we do get back to it ...eventually 🙃

Guys,
sorry I haven't responded sooner - we had a little shindig going on in the UK yesterday  ;) and a few too many drinkies celebrating our new Monarch's coronation  <_<

I tried soya milk in my tea once, it was foul, almost enough to put me off soya products for life! Seriously, though, it has its uses but I have to wonder why people profess to be vegetarian/vegan and then crave plant-based "meat". There were TV adverts for "the Vegetarian Butcher" recently, as you can imagine, plant-based meat substitutes. But, IMHO, you don't "butcher" vegetables, you peel 'em!  ;D  ;D  ;D

Love it! We've been known to go for dinner at friends' houses, and stop off for a cheeky Maccie D's on the way home  :laugh: Nothing wrong with vegetable recipes, I love a veggie lasagne f'rinstance, and Hawaiian pizzas, jacket spuds with baked beans, etc etc. Never going to give up a bacon sarnie, though! Nope. Not ever!
Oh, and a bit of light-hearted thread drift is all good fun  ;)  ;)  ;)

Well, it's simple, due to the fact that most people grow up eating meat and when they turn vegetarian/vegan for whatever reasons they have, the flavour and texture of meat is what most people miss the most. At least i know that's what i'd miss if i tried... All i say is that i respect every choice as long as my choice is also respected so, to each their own, right? I have never even seriously considered turning vegan or even vegetarian and still, my wife will only go as far as eating a couple of eggs from time to time so, if everyone in this world could respect each other instead of arguing and trying to tell others what they should do or eat, things would be so much easier for everyone...
Might as well post this to keep from writing something similar...  :rolleyes:  ;D  :thumbsup:
